When do I trim my shrubs?

The plant’s bloom time determines when to trim. In general, if your plant is spring-blooming, trim right after it finishes blooming. If your plant blooms later than June, pruning in late fall or early spring (before new growth) is best.

How often should I water my plant?

Depending on soil type, how long your plant has been installed, and how much rainfall and sunlight it’s receiving will determine its watering needs. Always check soil moisture before watering. In general, if the soil is moist, it does not need additional water. If it’s dry to the touch, watering is needed. Newer plants need more attention during the first 1-2 years, especially during the summer months. Even well-established plants benefit from supplemental watering during hot, dry periods.

When should I seed my lawn?

When should I fertilize my trees & shrubs?
