With spring finally on the horizon, DLC crews are preparing your landscape for the busy growing season! We are continuing our seasonal pruning, trimming shrubs lower in order to help keep them at a manageable size and promote healthy regrowth in the spring and summer. We are also continuing with routine maintenance, including trimming plants and trees as necessary. The crew is
emphasizing priority areas where plants are encroaching on sidewalks and walls or are growing outside of their space. We are continuing to fertilize your winter Ryegrass and have applied a new round of liquid iron to ensure it stays strong during the winter months. We will continue to push the health of your Ryegrass until the annual transition to summer Bermuda in the late spring. During the winter, established plants don’t need as much water as they do when temperatures are higher. With this in mind, plus the added bonus of the recent winter rains, we have been able to reduce irrigation usage, which will save your community water and money.
