With spring in full bloom, it’s the perfect time for O’Fallon, MO residents to start their outdoor planting projects. Whether you’re a novice gardener or an experienced green thumb, Prestige Turf has the expertise and services to help you thrive. Here are some essential spring planting tips that can lead to a flourishing garden in your O’Fallon home.
1. Understand Your Soil
Before you start planting, understanding the type of soil in your garden is crucial. O’Fallon’s soil predominantly consists of clay, which can be challenging for drainage and root growth. Prestige Turf offers fertilizing services that can enrich your soil with the necessary nutrients to support your new plants or garden.
2. Pick the Right Plants
Choosing plants that are well-suited to the St. Charles County climate can dramatically increase your garden’s potential. Consider native plants or those adapted to Missouri’s weather patterns and temperatures. Not sure where to start? Our experts at Prestige Turf are knowledgeable about local horticulture and can guide you in selecting plants that will thrive in your space.
3. Time Your Planting
Timing is everything when it comes to planting. In O’Fallon, frost can linger until late April, so it’s usually safe to plant most annuals and vegetables after this period. Keep an eye on local weather forecasts to choose the optimal planting times. For those eager to get started, consider our flower bed maintenance services to prepare your garden beds for the season.
4. Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to a successful garden. This includes watering, weeding, and trimming to ensure your plants get the care they need to grow robust and healthy. Our grass cutting and hedge trimming services not only keep your lawn looking pristine but also help focus attention on the health and beauty of your blossoming plants.
