Think Spring: Plan the
Landscape of Your Dreams
(BPT) - The weather outside is frightful,
and the week ahead calls for falling temperatures,
maybe even snow. That makes it easy
to dream of warmer spring weather, but to
plan for it? To sit and strategize for making
the most of next year’s lawn and landscape
projects? That seems like no small feat.
The good news is that spring will be here
before you know it, and now is the best time
to work with your local landscape professional
to set the stage for a healthy spring. With the
expertise and knowledge of a professional,
you’ll be well on your way to get a thriving
landscape you’ll enjoy come spring.
Quality lawn care and landscape professionals
are all around you, but finding the
perfect one can be challenging if you go it
alone. Instead, consult the National Association
of Landscape Professionals (NALP) professional
directory at www.loveyourlandscape.
org/find-a-pro/. You’ll have access to the
NALP’s comprehensive directory and can find
inspiration through the organization’s expert
advice columns and idea center, motivating
you to take your spring landscaping projects
to new heights.
The initial conversations you have with your
landscape professional are essential for creating
a beautiful outdoor space. When working
with a professional, you can become more
prepared by considering the answers to these
questions in advance of your first meeting.
What’s Important to You?
You don’t need to know every last detail,
but you should have a broad understanding
of what you want. Do you want to entertain?
Have space to garden or create a private area
to enjoy quietly by yourself?
What’s Your Budget?
When it comes to dreaming of the perfect
landscape project, the limit is your imagination.
But once you place some real-world
practicality behind it, the limit will ultimately
be your budget.
What Plants are Best for
Your Property?
Flowers, shrubs and trees are all integral
to any landscape project and you should
have an idea of what you’d like to see. If
you don’t know, visit your local greenhouse
or nursery for inspiration and gain a greater
understanding of native plants that fare well
in your environment.
What Level of Lawn Care
is Needed?
Whether or not you have sprawling acres
of land, a healthy lawn of any size and
shape sets the foundation for a beautiful
landscape. Your lawn care professional can
review with you how to grow and maintain
a lawn through all the seasons. Consider if
weed control, mowing, aeration, fertilization
and irrigation may be needed as part of your
lawn care program.
The long weeks of winter are here, but now
is the perfect time to formalize your plans
for a gorgeous, spring lawn and landscape.
A professional can help you reach every
goal you’ve dreamed about. So start planning
today. Your home will benefit from your
preparation - and on those cold mornings, it
sure helps to dream of spring, doesn’t it? •
