Why do landscapers always seem so calm? Because they know how to stay grounded! And speaking of staying grounded, March is the perfect time to lay the foundation for a thriving, green commercial landscape. With St. Patrick’s Day marking the “greenest” day of the year, let’s talk about how to bring that lucky, vibrant green to your property—no four-leaf clovers required!
Shake Off the Winter Blues and Go Green
March is when winter finally starts losing its grip, but your landscape might still be feeling the effects of months of cold temperatures and snow. It’s time to prep your turf, trees, and plant beds for the warmer days ahead.
Don’t Let Weeds Steal Your Gold
Before weeds wake up and start throwing a party in your landscape, hit them with pre-emergent herbicides. Stopping weeds before they sprout saves you time and money later in the season.
Prune, Trim, and Shape Like a Topiary Master
- Cut Back Winter Damage – Snow and ice may have left behind broken or weak branches. Prune them now to prevent disease and encourage healthy growth.
- Trim Shrubs for a Fresh Start – Shaping now helps plants grow fuller and stronger when spring fully arrives.
- Deadheading Perennials – Give early bloomers like daffodils and tulips some love by removing any spent flowers.
Irrigation Check: Is Your System Ready to Flow?
Your irrigation system has been in hibernation all winter—before turning it back on, check for:
- Cracked or leaking pipes
- Clogged sprinkler heads
- Proper water pressure
A properly working irrigation system ensures your landscape stays hydrated without overwatering (or creating unexpected “water features” in your parking lot).
