Spring into Action

Spring has arrived in Charlotte, bringing with it blooming flowers and vibrant greenery. For homeowners, this season offers the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate outdoor spaces. Proper landscaping not only enhances curb appeal but also increases property value.

  1. Planting Native Flowers

    Benefits: Native plants are adapted to Charlotte's climate, requiring less water and maintenance. They also support local wildlife.​

    Recommendations: Consider planting Eastern Redbuds, Carolina Jessamine, or Black-Eyed Susans.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
