Three East Valley Yard Updates for February

February is one of the best months in the East Valley to get your yard back in shape before spring growth kicks in.

Here are our three February yard updates to help you plan your yard the right way this month.

1. February is the month for big yard cleanups

Over the past month, our crews have been completing extensive front and backyard cleanups across the East Valley. Many homeowners use winter to put off larger yard projects, which makes February the perfect reset point.

If your yard has heavy weed growth, overgrown plants, major trimming and shaping needs, or significant debris buildup, now is an ideal time to schedule a professional yard cleanup.

Getting your cleanup completed in February helps your yard:

• Look clean and organized before spring

• Prevent overgrowth from becoming harder and more expensive to manage

• Create a better foundation for ongoing maintenance

If you have been thinking about scheduling a yard cleanup, February is the perfect time to get it done.

2. You do not need to worry about freezing plants this month

As of the end of January, there are no overnight freezing temperatures in the forecast for our area.

That means you can move forward with yard work, trimming, and planting without having to worry about freeze damage to your plants. For most East Valley homeowners, the risk of freezing temperatures has passed until next winter.

This makes February a very safe window for:

• Scheduling cleanups
• Performing plant and shrub trimming
• Refreshing landscape areas

Your yard can be cleaned up and prepared now without the concern of cold weather setting your progress back.

3. February is a great time for rock replenishment

Even though temperatures will begin rising as we move toward spring, most plants are still in a slower growth phase during February.

This makes it an excellent time to replenish decorative rock and gravel areas in your yard.

Rock replenishment in February helps:

• Refresh faded or thin rock coverage
• Clean up exposed soil and worn landscape areas
• Make your yard look more complete and well-maintained heading into spring

When your plants begin actively growing again in the coming months, your landscape will already be clean, finished, and ready to showcase.
