🌱🔍 **Attention Lawn Lovers: Stay Vigilant Against Turf Disease!** 🔍🌱

As temperatures rise and spring beckons, it's prime time to keep a close eye on your turf health. One particular culprit to watch out for? Large patch disease. 🦠🚫

🔍 **Spot the Signs: Circular Discoloration** 🌀
Keep an eye out for circular patches in your lawn that appear discolored, as shown in the picture below. These telltale signs could indicate the presence of large patch disease, a common turf ailment that thrives in warmer, humid conditions.

⚠️ **Avoid the Temptation to Fertilize Early** 🚫🌱
While it may be tempting to jumpstart your lawn's growth with early fertilization, beware! This can actually exacerbate large patch disease, fueling its spread and causing further damage to your turf.

🔄 **Combatting Resistance: Rotate Your Fungicides** 🔄
Preventing large patch disease requires a multi-pronged approach. Rotate your fungicides annually to avoid resistance buildup and ensure continued effectiveness in controlling this pesky lawn menace.

🌸🍂 **Timing is Key: Spring vs. Fall Applications** 🕰️🍁
While spring applications are crucial for halting the progression and minimizing damage, don't overlook the importance of fall treatments. By addressing the issue in the fall, you can proactively prevent large patch disease from rearing its head next year.

🌿🌸 Embrace the Early Color in Your Landscape! 🌸🌿

Hey there, landscape enthusiasts! As we welcome the gentle breeze of spring, it's the perfect time to marvel at the early pops of color in our outdoor spaces. 🌼✨ One of our absolute favorites for this time of year is Phlox - a true gem in the garden!

🌿 **Phlox: The Early Bloomer** 🌸
Phlox is not just your ordinary plant; it's a vibrant burst of greenery and delicate blooms that signals the arrival of spring. This soft groundcover spreads gracefully, staying low to the ground, and requires almost zero maintenance - perfect for those looking to add beauty without the hassle. With its lush foliage and charming flowers, Phlox is a must-have for any garden looking to make an early statement.

🎨 **Year-Round Colorful Bliss** 🌈
But here's the best part - with careful plant selection, you can keep the color show going all year long! By strategically incorporating a variety of plants with staggered bloom times, you can ensure your landscape remains a vibrant canvas of hues, no matter the season. So why settle for fleeting beauty when you can enjoy a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the year?

“Moonlighting” is a wonderful effect. It is subtle lighting that shines down from lights up in the trees. It casts shadows of branches and leaves on the ground making a wonderful effect. There is enough light to see but not enough to look like like in natural spotlights.
This is the art of lighting. Anyone can come in and add lights that shone on an area, but an experienced professional can create a mood and add ambiance to an outdoor space.

Lighting a lush and mature landscape is one of our favorite things to do! Trees like this set up perfectly for some strategic moonlighting 😍

Typically the firepit is in the center of the area. By offsetting to the edge it creates more useable space. These are the tricks a seasoned professional can bring to the table for your project. 🏡✨

This cold snap we have just experienced is why we always recommend against planting annuals, etc. until the second week of April. People are down and we have a nice warm weekend in the low 70's . The big box stores have all their color out on display. Its hard to resist a beautiful weekend and not plant your pots, etc.

This is a bad idea for a couple of reasons. first, the material that is available this early isn't well rooted and has just come out of a heated greenhouse. If we have a cold snap, it may not kill or show visible injury, but it can stunt the growth substantially.

Waiting a few weeks, will give a more well rooted plant, and by avoiding the cold snap, it will give you plant that will grow faster and be much nicer in a couple months.
