The recent inclement weather may have driven any outdoor landscaping activities to a screeching halt while simultaneously driving the gardening enthusiasts indoors for refuge. However, it can’t hamper the incessant activity of the spring-lover’s mind. And, it often happens that, the more intense the winter weather is, the brighter and more vivid are the visions of grandeur for the Philadelphia spring garden.
What are some things you can do right now to get a head start on the long awaited upcoming growing season?
Estimate future expenses…
It is easy to go crazy with purchases when the spring is in full swing, when everything looks wonderful and vibrant after the long drab winter. So this is the perfect time to take a serious look at your financial allotment for your landscape – and stick to it.

Think landscape maintenance…
Is your Main Line / Philadelphia yard in need of some routine care in order to get your garden ready for spring planting? Or, does it requires some major cleanup after the havoc caused by the intense weather we experienced in southeastern Pennsylvania this year? It is wise to address these issues before you also have the never-ending growing season activities to consider.
Time to prune…
Grab those recently sharpened garden tools and prune all dead or diseased branches, including anything with a growth pattern that is inconsistent with the preferred shrub or tree aesthetic. Be careful not to to cut any early bloomers such as azaleas or lilacs. From pruning trees and shrubs, shearing perennials, laying fresh mulch, path and hardscape refurbishment — to debris cleanup – now is definitely a less hectic time to plan for these landscape maintenance chores.
