While the daily headlines are ever changing, the rhythm of nature continues steadily on. Springtime is the time that many Pocasset homeowners first take stock of what\u2019s happened to the yard over the course of the previous six months. It wasn\u2019t the toughest winter ever, but there were some significant weather events that could have had a toll on your landscape.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you want to look for when you\u2019re checking out your yard:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The condition of your trees and shrubs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trees and shrubs are vulnerable to heavy snows and strong winds. Major damage such as broken limbs or snapped trunks is usually immediately apparent. Take a closer look to make sure there\u2019s not smaller damage that\u2019s not visible at first glance: sometimes the prompt attention of a tree care specialist can save trees that would otherwise be lost. You\u2019ll also want to keep an eye out for any signs of tree diseases, insect infestation, or rot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The health of the grass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From the homeowner\u2019s perspective, what you want to see is a healthy green lawn free from bare patches or weeds. There are many different types of diseases that impact grass, most of which result in the lawn having an unsightly mottled appearance. Another issue to watch for: lawn fungus. Identifying and taking steps to treat these issues in the spring is the best way to enjoy a great lawn all summer.<\/p>\n

Not sure what you\u2019re looking at? Your Pocasset lawn care company<\/a> can help!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Places for mosquitos to congregate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anywhere a puddle can form is a place where disease-carrying mosquitoes can be born. Take note of any area where there\u2019s standing water. Short-lived puddles that form immediately after a rainstorm and disappear aren\u2019t your issue here: you want to be aware of areas that stay wet for a prolonged period of several days or more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
