Yes, every year we come to the time where we feel...please let us have Spring and say goodbye to winter. Only thing is, when Spring arrives...so do most of our snow storms. Don't worry though, we've already started warming up, so the snow is gone within the next few days! Just be ready and prepared for yet another day of snow, rain or sleet and be thankful for the precipitation because it really does lead to greener pastures....and no restrictions for watering this Summer!!
If you're needing help getting through these Spring storms or just trying to get ready for the warmer weather ahead...give us a call, we can help!!!

Ways to start off your Spring Cleaning with the right steps....
http://www.springcleaningtips.org/
For the outdoors:
You'll want to make sure that you get rid all the past years debris, leaves, plants that the winter has caused it's life to no longer cause growth.
Don't forget sometimes, if you haven't gotten to your gutters since fall and even when all the leaves have fallen off the trees....time to get those gutters cleaned...

Spring time is coming...
Spring is just around the corner, and that means gardens, lawns, and all the little things that make the outdoors fun. But taking care of the outdoors takes a little effort. Here are a few things you should do now to
get an early start.
Dust off the Tractor
For the last few months your lawn and garden equipment have been sitting in the shed or garage gathering dust. It's time to brush them off, and give them a little tender loving care.
For machines like tractors, mowers, and weed eaters you should make sure they are clean, their blades are sharp, and the oil has been changed. If you left gas in the tank and did not use a stabilizer for the winter you may want to put some in, or add some new gas.
Once you've cleaned everything up you can start them up and make sure they sound right. Now they will be ready when the ground is dry.
Buy, Buy, Buy
Sales have just begun for seeds, new lawn and garden equipment, fertilizer, and any number of other items. If you start gathering them now, when there is time to look around and take your time, then you are more likely to get some deals.
The Nursery
The local nursery is the best place for information. You can ask when bare root trees will be available, prices, and types. You can also order specialty plants, or ask about different items they may have available.
Remember, different types of plants should be planted at different times of the year. Ask which ones are best planted in the spring, for lawn or garden, and get an early jump in your planning.
The Plan
All garden beds, weather vegetable or floral, benefit greatly from having a plan, both in aesthetics and in mechanics.
Take this time to draw a simple layout of your yard and sketch in sections where you may want specific flowers, herbs, or vegetables. Working in pencil allows you the chance to move things around, and experiment, before you dig anything up.
Research
The best time to learn what will work best in your garden, and how to care for it, is before planting season that way you don't loose any time in planting it.
