If you haven't gotten around to scheduling your Spring mulching, you may be worried its too late to get your yard looking sharp for patio season! But, good news! It's okay to wait until later in the season to mulch your plant beds. Though mulching is great for plant beds, helping to keep weeds at bay and protecting roots, you can wait until late in the Spring, after heavy rains, to apply. Waiting until after the rainy season can help color-enhanced mulch keep its fresh-look longer into the warm season. Plus some heavy storms can even cause wash-out around freshly mulched plant beds. So cross mulching off of your to-do list early, or rest easy knowing you have some time on your hands to get your yard in order.

If cleaning up your yard for Spring seems like too much to handle, let our maintenance crews help by scheduling a Spring-Clean Up. We'll help your yard recover from winter and get things spiffed-up for the backyard days ahead. Our teams will:
- Trim and prune grasses and perennials.
- Clean up dead branches, twigs, leaves, and de-clutter the yard.
- Apply fresh mulch when appropriate to protect your plants.
Give us a call, and we can schedule you for a Spring-Clean up or stand alone mulching as needed!
