Spring Clean-ups
Your yard can sometimes take quite a beating after the winter. Fallen branches, leaves - or even old mulch that
has lost its luster or has washed away in a few places - can all contribute to making your yard look dull. Spring clean-ups
give your yard a kick and get it ready for spring.
Although a few leaves in yor yard can be a good thing, as it breaks down, decomposes, and releases nutrients back into
the soil, they can also block the sun from your lawn, creating dead spots. Leaves can also stain your patio, deck or driveway.
Spreading a new batch of mulch in your planting beds will prepare your plants for the hot summer days, as mulch will retain moisture
and keep your yard looking sharp.
So what are you waiting for? Get out in your yard and clean it up to prepare for summer, or give me a call. You will be spending
more time outdoors when the weather gets nicer. Why not spend that time in a crisp, beautiful back yard? You will enjoy
it more, and so will your plants.
