Spring Lawn Care
A New Beginning
-- It's time once again to enjoy the great outdoors and begin working
on a lush, green lawn. But where to start? Beauty begins with getting
rid of the old. Rake your lawn to remove last year's leaves, dead grass
and weeds, dog bones, twigs and other debris that may have accumulated
over the winter. Left on the lawn, hard objects can become hazardous
when kicked up by a power mower not to mention the damage to the mower
itself. Just rake the debris directly into your large-capacity
leaf cart and wheel it to the compost pile, rather than
filling plastic yard bags to be hauled to a dumping site. It is so lightweight
anyone can quickly and safely dump it. With 8” plastic wheels,
rough terrain is no problem. The Amazing Leaf Cart
is made out of strong, vinyl-coated fabric with steel tube and wood
frame. This solid construction enables it to hold up to 10 bushels,
making it a breeze to transport debris easily without hurting your back!
Let the Green
Grass Grow -- The next step is to decide how you want your lawn
to look. If you already have a luxurous lawn, you are in good shape.
However, if your grass has turned yellow and scraggly over the years,
you may want to consider seeding it. Spring is the perfect time to plant
grass.
When choosing grass
seed, the most important factor is which species (or mix of species)
best fits your climate, site use, and intended maintenance level. The
best way to prepare for a beautiful lawn is to inform yourself about
the different types of grass seeds available to you.
Pruning Trees
-- While light pruning to remove a few small branches of trees can be
done at any time of year, however, it is most beneficial to prune fruit
trees yearly in late winter or early spring just before bud break. If
pruning is done just prior to when new shoots emerge, wound closure
is most rapid. Also, there are few insects and disease spores to infest
pruning cuts. Pruning will improve air circulation and penetration of
sunlight. remove tree wraps from the trunks of trees. Leaving the wraps
in place results in a build up of moisture beneath the wrap, which could
lead to bark injury and promote entry of diseases.Gather up the small
branches and haul them away in the Amazing Leaf Cart. It
holds up to 100 pounds of yard waste!
Beautify your
Lawn -- Spring is a time of renewal. Welcome the season by planting
a beautiful bouquet of blossoms to bring fragrance and beauty to your
yard! Planting a flowerbed will provide a focal point and add curb appeal
to your yard. Surround a flagpole, bird feeder or mailbox with flowers
to brighten your landscaping and replace hard-to-mow areas with a cascade
of color. Find all the flowers you will need to get started on your
flower garden at Gurney's
Seed and Nursery where you will find a great selection of different
flowers and flower bulbs as well as trees, shrubs, grasses and more.
When your lawn care
is finished, the Amazing Leaf Cart is designed
for easy folding and storage by removing the flexible fiberglass support
rods. It folds flat and weighs only 14
pounds so you can easily hang it or lean it against
a wall between uses. This Amazing Leaf Cart
will solve all of your problems with collecting and transporting leaves,
grass clippings and yard waste. Remember, the work that you do on your
lawn will pay off this summer.
