It seems like spring is getting earlier each year, and when we count the number of 70-degree days in February, it is easy to be optimistic that spring has sprung early. This opens up a host of opportunities in our industry to capitalize on the good weather that makes the rest of the nation envious of Southern California. As we move into spring, here are some ways to take advantage of our good fortune.
Landscape Maintenance:
- Fertilize all planting areas, including turf, to reinvigorate new growth
- Reset irrigation controllers to insure proper irrigation
- Refresh mulched areas to control weed growth
- Aerate turf to reduce compaction after the winter season
- Last call for tree trimming before those canopies fill in with spring leaves
Erosion Control:
- Ensure your BMPs are still in place in the wake of the rainy season
- Turn the calendar page to focus on weed abatement & dust control going into spring
- Assess need for hydroseeding while mother nature may still provide some natural watering before summer
