Here in the Triangle, now is a good time to plant new shrubs and trees, to remove unattractive or poorly performing plants, prune shrubs and trees (except birches, maples, & spring blooming shrubs like azaleas). February is the time for fertilizing cool season grasses — primarily fescue here in the Triangle. Late February and early March is the time to cut back and divide liriope (Monkey Grass) and ornamental grasses. It’s also a good time to refresh or replace mulch to deter spring weeds and maintain a constant moisture level in your beds.
It’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance on your lawn mower, tiller, or chipper/shredder. Give me a call!
Lawn mower blades should be sharpened correctly and balanced! An unbalanced blade can damage the engine, come apart, and be uncomfortable for the operator.
