With spring upon us, it is time to start thinking about how to prep your lawn and get your landscaping in shape for summer. There is lots to do, but with proper planning, timing and maintenance, Memphis Landscape can help you can create a beautiful and attractive environment for your home or business. Before we get started on any other outdoor projects, there is some spring cleaning that will make this year’s lawn care and landscaping maintenance go far more smoothly. Regular landscape maintenance is a big job that requires consistent attention. Once all of the plants starts to grow and the critters and pests return, just getting started on this year’s landscaping plans becomes very labor intensive. Preparing for the warmer months now can effectively eliminate many of the lawn care and landscaping problems that might pose a challenge over the course of the year.

In the dead of winter it may have seemed like the cold days would never end, but now the warmer temperatures will be here sooner than we think. Green shoots will begin sprouting from the ground and buds will start forming on branches. The transition from winter to spring is a welcome change of seasons. As we wait for spring’s arrival, we can help give your landscape a head start. Sometimes it is easy to forget about landscaping maintenance during the winter months. The grass and weeds are not growing like they do in the spring and summer, and your property might be covered in snow during this time. While you might be tempted to just ignore your landscaping, and wait until spring arrives to deal with it then, that would be a mistake. You do not want your landscaping to fall too far behind. So call us at Memphis Landscape and we will get your lawn and landscape ready for spring and summer! We have compiled this list of necessary tasks for a successful growing season.

Two techniques used when taking care of gardens and landscape are pruning and trimming. Trimming usually applies to maintaining small shrubs or hedges, while horticulturists use pruning for trees and shrubs. While the terms can be used interchangeably, they utilize different types of equipment and have different times for implementation. The end result of trimming and pruning are healthy and aesthetically appealing trees, shrubs and hedges. Memphis Landscape has the knowledge and know how to help you keep your yard and treelines looking great!
