1. Turf - Cool season grass (Fescue) needs it's first round of fertilizer including preemergent for crabgrass control
Warm season grass (Bermuda) spot treat (kill) anything green (weeds, cool season grass) in the turf using round up during warm weather
until turf starts to green up
2. Perennials / Groundcover - Cut back liriope (monkey grass) and any perennials that haven't been cut back yet like daylilies, hostas, ornamental grasses, etc.
3. Mulch - After removing any late leaves that have dropped and cutting back above , apply pine straw or other types of mulch so when plants grow up, they will grow up through new mulch instead of being covered by it later. It will also help you get ahead of weeds this Spring. If the weed seeds don't get sunlight, they won't germinate.
4. Trees - Prune out any dead wood, suckers and complete structural pruning to shape trees and keep away from structures.
5. Order Seeds - It’s a great time to think about seeds for your spring vegetable and flower gardens. Buy now for the best selection.
