- Spray Animal Deterrents ~ Early, before they damage spring buds and repeat applications as recommended on the manufacturers instructions to keep them at bay.
- Clean-up ~ Remove leaves and branches, cut back any remaining perennials, and as weather and soil temperatures rise, remove mounded soil or cages from your roses.

- Soil Activator (Humate) ~ Apply in spring and fall two years in a row for maximum results to all plants, lawns and gardens.
- Tree Trunk Protection ~ Snap on plastic tree wrap for all trees up to about 3-4" diameter. We stock two sizes. Damage to trunks by weed whips, hoses or lawn mower wheels causes more failure in trees than insects or diseases.
- Peat Moss ~ Add to any/all beds you are working up. Work into surface of old beds.
- Shredded Bark ~ The most important step you can do for trees and yard shrubs besides watering is mulching with good shredded bark (not chunks). Mulching helps your plants by retaining ground moisture, preventing weeds and adding organic matter to the soil.

- Lime ~ Apply to gardens, flower beds and lawns to raise pH. Do not use on acid loving plants. Use to turn blue hydrangeas pink.
