Groundhog Saw His Shadow: What That Means for Your Landscape

If you haven’t already heard, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow last week. And so just like last year, the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area will have to endure six more weeks of winter. Whether that means severe or mild temperatures, time can only tell. But what it does ensure is plenty of time to prep your landscape for spring. Whether you need irrigation work, spring flowers, landscape design or mulching, the Parke Company can get those tasks completed before the season really starts to pick up.

Irrigation Work — This task can never be done too soon. It’s important to have the system up and running before spring to ensure smooth sailing all season long. Irrigation systems shouldn’t be something you have to deal with yourself (especially in the cold). Call the Parke Company to take care of it for you and enjoy the last days of winter snuggled in by the fire.

Spring Flowers — It’s not quite March, but before you know it we will be thinking about spring flowers and warmer weather. Skip a step of the work and call the Parke Company to take care of your flower bed and landscape needs for the spring. Even if it’s too early to begin planting flowers, it’s a good idea to get started on landscape design and other cleanup tasks.

Pruning and Tree Care — Just like landscape design, pruning is a great way to start off your spring garden. With six weeks left of winter, you have ample time to give Parke a call and schedule an appointment. Took care of pruning already, but need to give your trees some tender-loving care? The Parke Company can assist you in tree health care, deadwood and crown thinning.

Spring is just around the corner, so it’s smart to be prepared for it! Even if you’re ready for spring, it’s important to regularly check your trees for any weather-related emergencies. For more information about the Parke Company’s list of services within the Nashville area, call them today!
