Although Maryland weather is still hanging on to winter, spring officially starts this month on March 20. This is the ideal time to start thinking about your yard, and getting ready for warmer weather. To give your landscape the boost it needs for a long season of healthy and attractive plants, have an arborist from Mead Tree & Turf Care survey your yard to assess the condition of your trees, and identify problems on your property that need to be addressed. Trees will be checked for: Dead wood, cavities, or peeling bark Signs of root decay Branches overhanging sidewalks, roofs, or overhead wires Poor structure due to multiple lead branches, rubbing branches, or weak crotches Early signs of insect infestation Trees may require pruning, cabling, lightning protection, or removal. This work can be done at any time of year. Treatment for disease or insects and fertilization can be planned for spring. Beds will be checked for leaves, debris, and old mulch that requires removal. Shrubs will be checked for dead wood, signs of insects, and any that will require fertilization or pruning in early spring. This is a good time to get on our schedule for bed cleanup and mulching. Keeping your turf healthy requires work, constant vigilance, and care. Mead Tree & Turf Care can make lawn care easy with our turf care programs. Weeds and insect infestations on lawns are usually symptoms, with the real problem being an unhealthy lawn. A properly maintained and healthy lawn can withstand invasive insects and out-compete weeds for sunlight, water and soil. In addition to proper mowing and watering, reduction of disease problems in established turf is accomplished by changes in cultural practices such as fertilization, core aeration, balancing the PH, and soil testing - all services we provide. An early start to caring for your trees and lawn can resolve problems before they escalate. Call Mead Tree & Turf Care today to schedule your property inspection. We will make recommendations that allow you to enjoy a beautiful and healthy yard this spring and summer.
