February Gardening Jobs

As we have reached February there is a glimmer of hope that spring is just around the corner and the weather will finally start to become a little warmer. February itself is still a cold month like January, so it is important that you only undertake tasks when the weather conditions are not extreme and there are no frosts present. See what we recommend should be done this month:

General Tasks for February

• Make sure that paths and pavements remain clean and algae free so that they are safe to walk on and not a slip hazard
• See our range of hard surface cleaning products here to keep on top of this issue

Lawns/Turfed Areas

• Whilst the ground is wet, try to keep off of the area to avoid soil compaction
• If you are starting to see moss in your lawns, you can start to tackle this as long as conditions are not frosty
• We recommend applying A1 Soluble High Iron Moss Killer

Trees, Shrubs and Hedges

• Check all trees, hedges and shrubs for wind damage (root rock)
  
• Use Arbor Gold to help with the regrowth of any wind damaged plants
• Hardy evergreens can be pruned this month
• If you are looking at stopping woody trees and shrubs from re-growing after cutting, use Ecoplugs for effective stump control
