Planting Native Flowers

Recommendations: Consider planting Eastern Redbuds, Carolina Jessamine, or Black-Eyed Susans.
Mulching
Purpose: Mulch retains soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature.
Application: Apply a 2-3 inch layer around plants, ensuring not to pile it against stems or trunks.
Pruning + Trimming
Timing: Early spring is ideal for pruning many shrubs and trees before new growth begins.
Technique: Remove dead or diseased branches to encourage healthy development and improve air circulation.
Irrigation System Check
Inspection: Ensure sprinkler heads are functioning correctly and there are no leaks.
Scheduling: Adjust watering schedules based on rainfall and plant needs to conserve water.
