Spring is also the season to consider the following landscape services of Tommy Pollina Landscape:
Mulching
Mulch is organic material that is placed over soil.. Spreading mulch or mulching provides the following benefits to your landscape:
- Inhibits the germination of seeds from most weeds
- Reduces the need for the use of herbicides
- Lessens the need for constantly cultivating bed lines
- Moderates soil temperature on hot sunny days
- Retains moisture during dry weather decreasing the need for watering
- Keeps the soil in a loam state which allows your plants and bushes to flourish
- Inhibits soil runoff during rain storms
Annuals Planting
Annuals refer to flowers that grow, bloom and die in a single season. Petunias, begonias, geraniums and pansies are some popular annuals. Perennials are flowers that once planted will bloom every year such as tulips and roses. Most gardens have a combination of annuals and perennials. When you're assured that the Chicago weather will stay above freezing, it's time to plan your annuals planting.
Please call 847-698-6868 or contact Tommy Pollina Landscape Company to order your flats of annuals and schedule installation.
Fertilizing
A properly balanced lawn fertilizing program is necessary if you want a good looking lawn throughout the year. Fertilizing your lawn in the spring helps the grass develop a dense rooting system. A dense rooting system makes it difficult for any invasive plant species to take hold and ruin your lawn.
Please call 847-698-6868 or contact Tommy Pollina Landscape Company to discuss a lawn maintenance program and keep your property looking good throughout the year.
