Landscaping Education

Every season comes with its own set of complications and issues for your landscape. Luckily, the Schill team has a ton of documentation on how winter, spring, summer, and fall each uniquely affect your property and what to do to keep things looking great.

Spring is the time for addressing any damage your plants have taken during winter. Replant any trees or shrubs that may have died and install perennials and annual flowers.

In summer, make sure to water plants and turf thouroughly to keep them from drying out. Summer is also the time to monitor your landscape for common problems like plant and lawn diseases and pests, as these issues thrive in warm, damp environments. 

Fall is the ideal time for planting due to its warm days cool nights, and generous amounts of rainfall. Consider installing bulbs or perennials during this time, or add some seasonal color with popular annuals like mums and violas. During this time we also look ahead to the next season, winterizing plants to protect them from frost. Doing this not only keeps plants from getting damage, but it  can also save our customers thousands in tree and shrub replacements.

We spend most of winter preparing for the upcoming spring. This means dormant pruning so that trees and shrubs look great once warmer weather hits and planting bulbs before the ground freezes so that plants like tulips and crocuses bloom in early spring.
