Spring Seasonal Tips

Fertilize without phosphorus

Fertilize your lawn only when necessary and only with phosphorus-free fertilizer.

Plant for shade

Save on home heating and cooling costs and provide habitat for native birds and insects.

Renewing spring lawns

Refurbish your lawn the natural way.

Provide bluebird housing

Consider putting a nest box in your yard and monitoring it.

Support pollinators in your yard

Your native forbs, trees and shrubs, and vegetable garden will be significantly more fruitful when you help these creatures.

Enjoy the animals your yard shelters

Relocating wild animals rarely ends well for wildlife and is not a permanent solution.
