IT'S ALL ABOUT TIMING


A CHALLENGING LANDSCAPE...

WALKWAY TO LAKE STAIRS INSTALLED,.

MEADOW GRASSES AND WILDFLOWERS PLANTED
Wednesday, 8:15 AM.  38 degrees F at the ferry dock, 37 on the back porch.  Wind N, calm to very light.  The sky is overcast, the humidity 85%,  The barometer is steady, at 30.15".  The forecast is for snow tomorrow, with cool temperatures and mixed weather for the next ten days.  We got around an inch of rain altogether in the last 24 hours, very welcome, but it is a reluctant spring.
   We got the meadow grasses and wildflower seeding done on Monday, just in time for a much needed rain on Tuesday.  Landscaping is as much about the nuances of timing, as anything.

                   LANDSCAPING
   Get the approval of the client before he leaves.
   Get the seed in and covered before it rains a lot.
   Get the perennials in before the weather turns hot.
   Get the evergreens planted before it snows.
   Get the bulbs planted before the ground freezes.
   Get the job done while you have the crew.
   Get paid before your bills come due.
