April has come and gone with NO real extreme weather to deal with. It’s been on the cool side for most of the month, but no snow, some frost, and more regular rainfall. All in all, it’s a very good start to spring. Mother Nature is treating us to extremely long blooming periods for bulbs, and flowering shrubs and trees, because of the lack of heavy frosts or extended periods of unseasonably warm weather. Lawns were a bit slow to get growing because of the cooler weather, but they’re coming along nicely now. The Nursery yard is literally bursting at the seams with everything you need and want including bedding annuals, vegetables, hanging baskets, tropicals, specialty annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees!! Don’t forget to shop our great Mother’s Day sales! May 9th – 11th all shrubs and trees are 30% off! We’ll also have a lot of great gift plants and planters that Mom is sure to love!
Our Turf Management division is now well into its spring season. The weather’s been ideal in in March and April, but we are once again looking for some more regular rainfall to make up for last year’s dry weather. For those of you who want our superior turf management team to take over your lawn treatments this year, we’ve still got the ability to squeeze you in if you act immediately. We’re still accepting requests for estimates on regular maintenance applications (starting with broadleaf weed control) and special applications (core aeration/lime). If you are interested in getting an estimate for any lawn work, please either call the office (215-348-5553 – select Option 3 for Turf Management) and speak with one of our friendly staff, or find our web page (www.lawndepotinc.com) and select Request an Estimate. We’ll be in touch within several days, and email or snail mail (if preferred) your quote to you.
