Spring! The season of rebirth and promise of beauty anew. Bulbs are emerging, flowering trees and shrubs are getting ready for their grand entrance and lawns are greening up.
April brings longer days, elevated temperatures, and regular rainfall (fingers crossed). There is always a great deal to do as things get growing, and if we’re not careful, we’ll have a hard time keeping ahead of the workload. April is the month when all sunny lawns must be treated with crabgrass pre-emergent, when emerging broadleaf cool weather weeds must be treated before they spread, when lawns, shrubs, and flowering trees must be fed as the growing year gets underway. Perennials, roses, trees and shrubs can now be planted, as well as cold crop vegetables and pansies. It’s also imperative to stop insect damage on trees and shrubs before it starts with BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed for control of chewing and sucking insects.
Lawn Depot Turf Management has been on the road since the end of February, making our rounds with our first application: early spring fertilizer, pre-emergent crabgrass control, and cool season broadleaf weed control. We’ll continue with the first regular application through the end of April, along with our spring core aeration jobs. If you received an estimate for lawn service and haven’t yet responded, rest assured that you still have time to get on board for the full year’s program. But please hurry, we’re scheduling work now, and wouldn’t want you to miss out on the first application. If you are a DIY person looking for a reprieve from handling the lawn applications, we encourage you to give our tried and true Turf Management department a call (215-348-5553 and select Option 3) or check our web page (www.lawndepotinc.com) and select Request An Estimate. One of our turf professionals will be out to your property as quickly as possible, measure and evaluate the lawn, and will email you a proposal. There’s still time to sign up for this excellent service and have the full year’s services for your lawns.
