Often thought of as a silly tradition by many, Groundhog’s Day is a fun-filled ceremony that gives people hope for a short winter and much warmer months to come. Luckily, this year, Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, which means spring is rapidly approaching. And yes, it still is only the beginning of February, but we can’t help but get excited for the spring months. So what does that mean for your landscape?
It’s important to be prepared, and this is especially true in light of Phil’s predictions. We need to be prepping for spring, and it’s never too early to start.
There are many things Parke’s landscape team can assist you with in order to prepare for the spring weather. This will ensure you have a beautiful property throughout the spring and summer.
Spring Landscaping Services
Landscape cleanup
Have a messy flower garden full of leaves and branches? How is your yard? Are there patches of yellow or dead grass around your property? If so, landscape cleanup is a must. This is especially important after all those cold months when your trees and flowers hibernate. The team will clean up your landscape, which includes weeding, leaf pick-up, and other clean-up issues that might arise. They can also discuss your options for irrigation systems if your lawn needs it for the summer.
Mulching and chipping
You remember all those leaves you picked up during the fall? Now you can use them for mulching! To help those beautiful plants grow and improve the overall look of your landscape, mulching is a key factor. Parke also provides chipping services in addition to mulching. Your chipping materials often come from old trees so that your landscape contains nothing but the best recyclable materials.
Landscape build/design
If you just purchased a home or commercial space, or you just need a change, the landscape team at Parke can assist you in designing and building a beautiful new landscape. This time of year is a great opportunity to start mapping out those plans for a brand new landscape full of plants and trees, making your house look like a home. The sky’s the limit and Parke’s expertise will aid you in the right direction that both suits your taste and your budget.
We know it might sound a little early to be thinking about spring, but it’s important to be prepared. Nashville weather is fickle and Nashvillians could be thrown into the spring season at any moment. Be sure your landscape and trees are ready to blossom. And just like it could easily be warm tomorrow, late freezes are a real threat in Middle Tennessee. Talk with a Parke representative to discuss the best protocol for protecting your plants from those late freezes.
