Seasonal Garden Tips

Expert advice to help your trees and bushes thrive throughout the year.

Spring | March - May

Spring Awakening: Pruning for Growth

Spring is the perfect time for pruning and shaping. New growth responds beautifully to early-season care, setting your garden up for a vibrant year ahead. Focus on removing dead branches and shaping your plants before they enter their main growth phase.

Summer | June - August

Summer Maintenance: Keep It Shapely

Regular trimming during summer keeps your bushes shapely and healthy. Light pruning encourages continued growth while maintaining your desired shape. Pay special attention to water needs during hot months to keep your plants thriving.

Fall | September - November

Fall Preparation: Winter Readiness

Prepare your trees and bushes for winter with careful pruning. Remove dead branches and shape your plants to withstand the coming cold months. This is also an ideal time for tree health evaluations to catch any issues before winter.

Winter | December - February

Winter Care: Dormant Season Maintenance

While many plants are dormant, winter is an excellent time for structural pruning of deciduous trees. The bare branches make it easier to see the tree's structure and make strategic cuts. Always avoid pruning during extreme cold.

Watering Wisdom: Deep & Infrequent

Deep, infrequent watering promotes stronger root systems than frequent shallow watering. Early morning is the best time to water, allowing leaves to dry before evening and reducing disease risk. Check soil moisture before watering.

Spring & Fall

Mulching Magic: Protect & Nourish

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around trees and bushes to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from trunks to prevent rot. Refresh mulch in spring and fall.
