Spring is Just Around the Corner

It's starting to warm up down south. Here in Tennessee, we have temperatures in the 60's pushing 70 sometimes and it's time for a few things to be done.

Lawn and landscape Pre-Emergent Weed Control.

If you haven't already done it, its time to get some weed control down. Using the pre-emergent products are easier to control most weeds with. If you stop the weed before it gets out of the ground the lawn looks better, and for landscape beds if you can stop the weed from coming up, you don't have to pull them later. Some landscape plants like ground covers are particularly hard to control weeds, so pre-emergents are the only option.

Mulching and Pruning

Most people like to mulch in spring so the beds look fresh through the early season when every one is out with landscaping on their minds. Keep in mind that some plants don't need to be pruned in spring, it depends on the blooming pattern. Azaleas for example if pruned in early spring before they bloom will not bloom as well this year because you will cut off most of the blooms. A general rule of thumb is to prune after the plant blooms. But it will pay you to do a little research on your particular types of plants to see if they bloom on this years wood or last years wood. That will tell you when to prune. Feel free to contact Color Burst with any questions, we are here to help!
