Ready for winter to be over? Take a look at our to-do list for essential early spring gardening and landscape tasks. Now is also the ideal time to turn your backyard dreams into reality. Let’s start upgrading your property with a new outdoor kitchen, patio, pergola or masonry work today.

Plus, we’re sharing some uncommon, but colorful container planting ideas for your doorsteps, patios, and decks.

March Tips

• Clean up flowerbeds and clear away most debris, pull weeds and start to plant flowers that can handle the cooler weather.

• Add new mulch to restore color faded by sunlight and harsh weather. This also helps the soil retain moisture and keeps weeds away.

• Fertilize hardy plants. It’s almost time for them to wake up from winter. Start now, so they will be well nourished.

• Check your masonry. Clean stone or brick borders and replace/update any soiled or dislodged pieces.

A New Take on Container Plant Ideas

There are so many types of plants to consider. For this season, we chose some not typical suggestions that are just as colorful and may become your new favorites!

Pansies and violas love cool temperatures, so they’re perfect in spring and can be swapped out with warm-season plants in early summer.

Coral bells are perennial plants that grow well in shade and they are well suited to spring temperature fluctuations.

Cool-season herbs and leafy vegetables like kale and parsley are perfect this time of year. Also, oregano, cilantro, thyme, sage, mint, lemon balm, and chives are perfect to include with other plants.
