Don't forget about Winter watering

Winter watering is mandatory for sustaining plant vigor. Insufficiently watered plants often suffer root damage during winter, and emerge looking healthy, but succumb to disease or insects. Plants and turf with southern or western exposures are particularly vulnerable to damage. Water when air and soil temperatures are above 40 degrees with no snow cover.

February is the time to cut back ornamental grasses

February and early March is the right time to cut back perennials, ornamental grasses and vines that have been left for winter interest. It is also the time to spray dormant oils to smother insect eggs and scale on woody plants. In addition, it’s perfect to prune trees and shrubs while it’s easy to see the branching structure.

Southern Exposure Landscape Tip: If you have many ornamental grasses to cut back use duct tape or string and wrap the grass approximately 10 inches above the grade. Cut below the tape line with a gas or electric hedger. Now you have a nice bundle for easy clean-up and disposal.

Right now is a great time to plan your Spring landscape project

March is the perfect time to get ahead of the crowd and begin planning for any upcoming projects. Take advantage of the fact that landscape professionals are in the slow season until April and have ample time to assist you with design and budget. This will allow you to make good decisions and get your projects scheduled and completed in time for Spring graduation parties, Summer weddings, or entertaining!
