Take a look outside and you might notice that the snow is finally beginning to disappear. Months of hibernation will soon give way to the landscape season.

Here are a couple of tips for your landscape in the early days of spring.

Yard maintenance too early in the spring will only hurt the yard in the long run. Give your yard a chance to warm up and firm up as frost and moisture are absorbed into the soil.

One thing you can do is cut down those ornamental grasses that have stood through the winter. Just cut them down leaving a few inches above the roots. The cut grass can be added to the compost pile.
