The Key to a Healthy Landscape: Spring Bed Care, Pre-Emergent, and Mulch

As winter fades and the growing season begins, proper spring bed care sets the stage for a vibrant, healthy landscape all year long. At Schill Grounds Management, we know that early-season maintenance is essential for keeping commercial properties looking their best while preventing costly problems down the road.

Why Spring Bed Care Matters

Spring is the time to clean out debris, refresh plant beds, and create the foundation for strong plant growth. Neglecting this step can lead to weed infestations, soil compaction, and unhealthy plants struggling to thrive in the months ahead.

Pre-Emergent: Stopping Weeds Before They Start

A critical component of spring maintenance is applying pre-emergent herbicides. These products form a barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating, reducing the need for manual weeding or additional treatments later in the season. By tackling weeds early, we keep landscapes looking polished and professional.

Mulch: More Than Just Aesthetic Appeal

Fresh mulch does more than enhance curb appeal—it regulates soil temperature, retains moisture, and suppresses weed growth. Applying the right amount of mulch (typically 2-3 inches) also prevents soil erosion and improves plant health by providing essential nutrients as it breaks down over time.

Start Strong This Spring

Proactive bed care, combined with strategic pre-emergent applications and fresh mulch, ensures a thriving landscape through every season. At Schill, our expert teams tailor spring maintenance programs to each property’s unique needs, delivering beauty and sustainability for our clients.
