We are coming to the end of January here in San Antonio and February is typically our last month of cold. With spring coming up it’s a great time to prepare by doing some yard maintenance and getting lawn care materials.

First check when it’s best to trim your trees. Mine do best getting trimmed in the winter, so I have taken care of that.

Next while the lawn is dormant it’s a great time to expand any flower beds or planters you might have. I like to slowly expand my bricks around my tree ring every year as an example.

The next thing you might look at is getting a balanced fertilizer and some composted manure to place down at the end of winter/beginning of spring. I like the Andersons PGF Balanced and Black Kow composted manure. They are both gentle balanced products great for bringing the yard back to life.
