Warmer Days and Spring Equinox

Tomorrow starts Daylights Savings Time and early next week Spring will sprung upon us. Not a minute too soon after a every snowy and long winter. Lots to do outside, branches down from the snow and wind have finally been freed from their frozen prison of ice, lawns with patches of snow mold and yet a glimmer of life, crocuses, tulips and daffodils poking thru the ground with a promise of color to come.
If you overused deicing salts the damage to the landscape will show up soon, so look around and gets some gypsum to put down in those areas to lessen the effects. Prune the damaged branches from the trees and shrubs now before everything starts to grow and get the debris that's accumulated from the winter cleaned up. If you have had problem weeds that have been tough to control a pre-emergent is the best course of action. Identify the weed, do the research, read the label and apply according to the directions. Call your arborist!
