Now that the ice storms have left us, we are ready to give you some ideas for your landscaping:

FERTILIZING/FEEDING

Rose bushes are ready for some nutrients.
Aerobic Composte Tea is a good thing to apply to your garden now.
Many trees will start blooming very soon. For your fruit trees you might want to treat them for any type of pest before they bring you fruit.

PLANTING

Spring seeds for all kinds of plants should be spread now (Wild flowers, vegetables, herbs, etc.)
Great time to plant herbs, veggies, fruits, trees, etc.
Indoor plants replacement can be good for clean air inside your home.
Roses like to be planted at this time of the year too.

WEEDS = : (

It is a good time to apply some corn gluten for your weed prevention. Time is running out on this.

IRRIGATION

For a good, and effective sprinkler system it is advised to do a thorough check up on your system. We can do this for you.

PROJECTS

The City of Austin offers rebates for rain barrels or rain collection systems. We can help you with this water-consumption- conscious project.

CLEAN UP

After the cold weather many plants will now need some TLC. Please let us know if we can help you do a last winter clean up so your plants come back happy.

This time of the year is one of the most fun and beautiful for us to enjoy the botanical world. Please do not hesitate to call us if you need any type of help. Remember that we do stone work, and metal work as well.
