Your yard may look barren now, but outdoor temperatures are on the rise and it’s time to literally lay the ground work for spring. The weather will break so we are already working to get your yard in the best shape possible for your outdoor activities. Here’s a primer on what our crews will be focused on over the next few weeks.
- Fertilizing. Many homeowners correctly understand that over-fertilizing can damage a lawn. But too little is not going to work either. Oriole has the expertise to fertilize your yard to maximum benefit.
- Weed Control: Getting post and pre-emergents down on the turf prior to all the spring weeds taking off. Also helps build leaf density after the cold period for the grass has grown its roots into the soil.
- Mulching: For optimal appearance and effectiveness we use a dyed brown double shredded premium mulch and install in appropriate depths. This helps eliminate weeds and keeps moisture in the beds for the plant roots to absorb
As the warm months of summer slowly come to an end it’s time to prepare for the important lawn maintenance that Fall requires. Fall lawn care is necessary to prepare your lawn for the cold and harsh winter months that lie ahead.
As the seasons change and we welcome all the wonderful notions that spring brings, now is the time to consider how you can optimize your home's outdoor spaces. With the warmer seasons our patios and yards become gathering spaces for family and friends so take a look at what needs improving, fixing or enhancing. Adding a patio can increase the living space available in your yard while building a stone walkway can add function to an otherwise empty, unvisited area. Here are some ways that hardscaping can improve your property and why hiring an expert landscaping company is the best way to maximize the potential of your home’s outdoor areas.
