Spring is finally here, and we bid a fond farewell to Old Man Winter! In addition to the flowers starting to bloom and the tree buds starting to awaken it is also time to begin thinking about a Spring cleaning for the outside of your home.

 

At Zimmerman Landscaping, we offer a wide variety of cleanup options to fit our client’s individual needs and budgets. From trimming and pruning, removing weeds and leftover leaves in your garden beds to edging and mulching, let us turn the page from the colorless winter into a bright and fresh spring landscape.

 

Spring clean ups are vital for a healthy and attractive landscape. Below is what we recommend to our clients for a comprehensive clean up in order to prepare the property for Spring!

 

Removing Unwanted Debris

 

We recommend cutting off your perennial plants and ornamental grasses, which will allow new growth for the season. Removal of this debris is very important for a healthy start. At the same time, we remove any left-over leaves, weeds and fallen tree branches.

Pruning

Next, we prune any broken branches on trees and shrubs that have been caused by wind, ice or other winter damage.

This is also a good time to reduce the size of plants while they are still dormant. We’re extra careful to not prune spring flowering shrubs during this process.

Weed removal

Spring is a great time to refresh your garden and give it new life for the season. With this comes removing any weeds from the previous season or any that may have began to grow new life (depending on how warm the temperatures have been).

Mulch

Adding a fresh layer of mulch in garden beds helps suppress weeds, retain moisture and moderate soil temperatures.

It’s important that we don’t layer too much mulch on top of old mulch as this can create a layer that won’t decompose or allow root growth. We pay close attention to not pile too much mulch up around trees as this can cause rot in the trunk and create a home for insects.

With all this being said we recommend removing as much of the old mulch if not composted, as we can and top dress the garden beds with two to three inches of new (healthy) mulch to help your shrubs, plants and trees flourish.

We are firm believers that if you start off on the right foot in the spring you will be well on your way a beautiful landscape to enjoy throughout the coming year.

I have finally decided to take the plunge and add a blog to my site. I always wanted an easy way to share information with visitors and I’m super excited to start this journey. Keep coming back to my site and check for updates right here on the blog.

Anyone can make one:
For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top.

The writer can show their personality:
In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing.

Blogs are a great form of mass communication:
You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience—the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience.

You can make money:

Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts.

It allows people to craft better thoughts:
Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it’s much better to see people’s thought process in a well-written blog post.

You can establish a community:
Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader.

Good for SEO:
Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business.

It brings people back to your site:

If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well.

It’s free:
It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there’s nothing to stop you.

You can establish yourself as a thought leader:

A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry!
