News & Tips

Make the holidays safe

Safety is important, too. Keep your live wreaths and cut trees properly watered to avoid a fire hazard. And if your household has curious kids or critters who may chew on plants, avoid these popular holiday plants:

Decorate planters for winter

If you’ve got some big planters in your landscape, they don’t have to stay empty and boring this winter. The rest of your landscape might be dormant, but your containers can add a pop of color and interest until spring blooms return.

Garden indoors this winter

The backyard garden may be finished for the season, but you can keep your green thumb in shape with an indoor herb garden this fall and winter.

Did you plant your bulbs yet?

If you haven’t planted bulbs yet for next spring, there may still be time. Planting now gives them time to develop roots before the ground freezes. It's an easy project as long as you know a few things to do - and not do - when planting.

Ready for the next frost?

If you haven’t yet winterized your sprinkler system - it's getting to be that time - or call a professional to get on their schedule soon. Hard freezes typically involve temps at 28 degrees or below for a minimum of 4 hours. A frost can occur at or below the freezing mark of 32 degrees if the humidity is high.

Plant in Fall. Enjoy in Spring!

Plant fall bulbs now for spring color. The fall months, specifically September and October, are the best times to plant bulbs for a colorful display next spring. To break out of their dormant state, bulbs need 12 - 14 weeks of cold temperatures (below 45 degrees).

Fall plant color

There are a number of flower choices that like the cool weather of fall that we can replace the worn-out ones with and keep the color going.

Extend your evenings with landscape lighting

With days getting shorter, now is a great time to be thinking about how lighting can help you make the most of your yard. We are almost a month out from the first day of fall, landscape lighting can help give us more time outdoors. There are three main ways lighting can enhance our outdoor experiences; accessibility, security and ambiance.

Pet-friendly landscapes

Now is a good time to think about how to keep our four-legged friends safe while maintaining our landscapes.

Continue to learn about new plants - changing your landscape

Flower breeding companies put in years of time and money into coming up with new plant varieties, new colors, and new plant traits. They are always working on improving current varieties, like the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Some of the specific traits they look for in flower breeding are; more flowers, bigger flowers, different flower shapes, certain colors, and disease resistance. This same process happens for vegetables, roses, perennials, and trees and shrubs.

Identify problems and protect the trees

Learn what is damaging your tree, and how to stop it. Distinguish between plant damage brought on by diseases, insects, or a nutrient deficiency. Learn to identify these pests and how to protect the trees. Beetles and bugs are damaging our trees.

Pollinator Waterers and Shelters

Now that the rain seems to be slowing down and we are entering 90-degree days, what should we be looking out for in our gardens?

Cycle and soak

As temperatures rise, you may be tempted to run your sprinkler longer. But resist that temptation, and instead practice cycle-and-soak watering. It’s an efficient way to keep your landscape healthy and be sure that none of your watering goes to waste.

Start your landscape off right

The rain has been a key factor in how our landscapes look and there are some things that we should be doing to keep our outdoor spaces beautiful.

Pollinator Waterers and Shelters

Pollinators need sources of water for many purposes, including drinking. Butterflies, for example will gather and sip at shallow pools, mud puddles or even birdbaths. You can easily create one of these water sources in your landscapes.

Fireproof your landscape

Homeowners need to know how landscaping can help protect their homes. Planting and maintaining a "defensible space" of landscape is more difficult to ignite, can offer significant fire protection.

Give your sprinkler system a tune-up

Much like any appliance in your home, sprinkler systems need a tune-up.

Use a drip system to water the plants in your landscape

Why use drip irrigation? Drip irrigation systems save water by controlling a slow drip to the roots of the plants.

Container gardens for ALL ages and abilities

Many people live where they don’t have space for a garden. A container garden is the perfect solution for all ages and all abilities. Almost anything can be grown in a container, except a large tree.

It is planting season - plant "smart" trees

The ground is warm, we shouldn't have any more freezes (fingers crossed), sprinkler systems are turned on and nurseries are getting truck deliveries of new plants daily. Now is a great time to visit your local nursery or garden center and check out some of springs best "smart" plants.

Invite beneficial bugs to your yard

There are those of us who don’t relish contact with insects and worms while working in the yard, but many of them are actually quite beneficial.

Seven lawn care myths dispelled

April is National Lawn Care Month, and below we dispel some of the common myths about lawn care so you can get your yard off to the best start this season

Dealing with wind damage

What are the best ways to address damaged trees and potentially cracked limbs to keep them from becoming a liability?

Ergonomic gardening

Gardening and landscape care can be a healthy hobby that helps us get outdoors and moving around. But proper form is important to avoid discomfort or injury.

Children benefit from gardening

Children who grow their own vegetables are five times more likely to eat them, according to a 2015 study. Whether it’s at school or at home, gardening can benefit their health and wellbeing in many ways.

Now's the perfect time to compost, even with some snow

Why winter composting is important
Compost needs time to mellow or break down. That’s why it works to put it down during the winter, even if it isn’t tilled into the soil. As it breaks down, compost creates a homogeneous soil mixture ripe with microbial activity. This process does not add nutrients to the soil, but it does improve the soil’s capacity to hold onto both nutrients and water. That is why compost is so good for the garden and of course, the plants that grow there.

Why care about dirt? Healthy plants need healthy soil

Why care about dirt? Healthy plants need healthy soil Whether it is in your landscape or an indoor pot, soil is the medium for your plants to thrive. High quality soil performs five functions at the same time: Soil...

Winter health recovery

This winter has been full of more snow than in past years. Being stuck inside can wear on our health and attitude. Your yard and garden can be part or your "winter blues," recovery.

Winter plant care

Plants are a great living gift to keep in your home during the winter months. Be sure to know how to adjust indoor plant care during the winter, and your houseplants will keep bringing you joy well into springtime.

Turf needs year-round care

Your lawn does not actually die each winter; it goes dormant. Dormant grass needs care too, especially in periods where there is lack of precipitation. Turf needs water in the winter, though not as much as it does in the heat of the summer. Simply turning off the water until spring leaves your lawn at risk of drought stress.

It's Not Too Soon to Buy Seeds

Yes, there’s plenty of snow on the ground, but it’s not too early to think about this year’s garden.

Tune up your tools

A little effort now will make work easier when spring arrives.

How green do you decorate?

It's traditional to deck the halls during the holidays with greenery dressed up with bows and lights.

The color of the year

The color that can help shape the year ahead is Viva Magenta. The global color authority reveals its Color of the Year every December. For 2023, the choice is a vibrant relative of the red family.

Safe holiday decorating

Live plants are a beautiful addition to your holiday décor. Wreaths of evergreen, eucalyptus, or herbs add a touch of nature and fragrance to your home, and the scent of a fresh evergreen tree really adds to the Christmas ambiance.

Protect your lawn when it snows

It is that time of the year again, the snow has started. But when you break out the shovel do you ever forget where your walkway or your driveway ends, and your lawn begins? It is important to protect your lawn against winter. Lawn care is still needed during the winter months.

Lawn tips for November

Here's your November lawn care 'to do' list:

Garden indoors this winter

The backyard garden may be finished for the season, but you can keep your green thumb in shape with an indoor herb garden this fall and winter.

Did you plant bulbs yet?

If you haven’t planted bulbs yet for next spring, there may still be time. Planting now gives them time to develop roots before the ground freezes. It's an easy project as long as you know a few things to do - and not do - when planting.

Compost your yard waste

As the growing season winds down and you prepare your landscape for winter, you may find yourself with a lot of yard waste. Instead of bagging it and tossing it into the garbage, why not make that yard waste continue to benefit your plants by composting?

Fall turf care

Lawns help cool our environment and make our backyards more enjoyable in the warm months. Through spring and summer—especially this year—they can be the focus of our outdoor activities. As we head into fall, take some time to change up your lawncare routine to help it continue to serve us well next year.

Plant in Fall. Enjoy in Spring!

Plant fall bulbs now for spring color. The fall months, specifically September and October, are the best times to plant bulbs for a colorful display next spring. To break out of their dormant state, bulbs need 12 - 14 weeks of cold temperatures (below 45 degrees).

Freshen up those tired looking flower pots for fall

It seems like summer does not want to end, but it is going to be fall in 6 days. Everyone likes to decorate their porch or patio for fall. Freshen up those tired looking pots!

Plant trees correctly

As long as you are planting a tree correctly, now is a great time to add a new tree to your landscape!

Keep watering

Fall may be approaching but keep your sprinkler system operating as it has all summer. Watch the weather as the temperatures may drop here and there - this is a good opportunity to take a day or two off from watering, just don't forget to turn it back on when it heats up again.

Water your trees

We see a lot of people watering their lawns right now but they are missing the most important, most expensive and biggest asset of their yards: their trees!

Late summer landscape

It's getting late in the season. There are only 28 days until fall. Spring and fall remain full of landscaping tasks, but there are plenty of ways to spruce up your lawn and garden as the summer ends.

Extend your evenings with landscape lighting

With days getting shorter, now is a great time to be thinking about how lighting can help you make the most of your yard.

Give grass a little tough love

This time of the year is a critical time for your grass; spring is when grass grows its feeder roots that capture water all season long. Resist the urge to over water your lawn.

Freeze protection

Weekend freeze: prep now
With the weekend forecast calling for freezing temps, be prepared to protect your irrigation systems and tender plants.

Invite beneficial bugs to your yard

There are those of us who don’t relish contact with insects and worms while working in the yard, but many of them are actually quite beneficial.

Seven lawn care myths dispelled

Don't be fooled - April is National Lawn Care Month, and below we dispel some of the common myths about lawn care so you can get your yard off to the best start this season:

Is your yard ready to party?

The outdoor entertainment season is just a few weeks away. If you have a grad party, wedding or other outdoor event coming up in May, now is the time to get your lawn into shape (so you’re not rushing around two weeks in advance). That’s why April is National Lawn Care Month.

Need spring color now?

Plant some pansies. After recent snows gave them a dose of moisture, and with temperatures heating up along the Front Range, some early spring bulbs are hinting at the color to come. Crocuses, hyacinths and even some daffodils and tulips are showing their faces.

Get veggie season growing!

It's not just a fad to grow your own veggies. Growing vegetables that can go from garden to the table in a matter of minutes is a solid trend. Even restaurants are establishing their own gardens, and for good reason. Growing your own veggies gives the freshest flavor possible and eliminates the chance of consuming any unsavory pesticides.

Too soon to plant perennials?

It's all too easy to go into a warehouse or hardware store right now, see a bare root perennial display and find yourself walking out with Echinacea, daisies and others in anticipation of spring. These kind of perennials do grow well in Colorado, but is it too early to plant them now?

Now is the time to think firewise

Don’t let fires take you by surprise

More snow is on the way

Springtime in the Rockies is usually a roller-coaster ride of nice days with warmer temps and colder days that bring heavy snows.

Why care about dirt?

Not all soil is created equal. Soil serves many important functions in an ecosystem. Whether it is in your landscape or an indoor pot, soil is the medium for your plants to thrive. USDA’s National Resources Conservation Services notes that high quality soil performs five functions at the same time: Soil...

Now's the perfect time to compost, even with some snow

With the weekend looking warmer, don’t just daydream about the tomato-growing days to come. Get out there and pitch some compost over the garden. Even if there’s snow on the ground, you can still toss away – your spring tomatoes will thank you later.

It's Not Too Soon to Buy Seeds

Yes, there’s plenty of snow on the ground, but it’s not too early to think about this year’s garden.

Hold the Salt to Protect Your Yard

With all the recent snow and sub-zero temperatures, ‘tis the time for scooping and sprinkling sidewalks with ice melt.
What many homeowners don’t know, however, is that most ice melt materials contain large amounts of salt. This can be very harmful to the plants in your yard.

2022 plants of the year

Each year, the National Garden Bureau (NGB) chooses its plants of the year in several categories: annuals, perennials, bulbs, shrubs, and edible plants. This year they also added a houseplant to the roster.

Water your landscape

The Front Range continues to experience drought conditions. To avoid winter drought stress, we need to water our landscapes.

Company Christmas Party!!

Last week we celebrated Christmas with an amazing party at Ginger & Baker

Time for tool care

Are your garden tools ready for winter? Take some time now to clean them up and protect them from the elements. You’ll thank yourself next spring when they are ready and waiting when it’s time to get into the garden again.

Do your trees need a blanket?

Were you one of the many people who planted new trees during the pandemic? If you’ve got a young tree with thin bark, you should consider wrapping it for the winter.

Did you plant bulbs yet?

If you haven’t planted bulbs yet for next spring, there may still be time.

Care for your trees

It takes a little effort to help your landscape ease into the fall and winter.

Compost now for spring

If you took a cue from last week’s tip and mulched your leaves, you might have some extra leaf mulch in your yard. Or maybe you cleaned up your garden and have some plant material left over. You can turn those piles of yard waste into “black gold” by composting them for use next spring.

Mulch your leaves

Don’t hurt your back bagging leaves. There’s a better way--you might even be able to avoid raking altogether

Stay out later

Imagine yourself relaxing on the terrace with a mug of tea or apple cider as you enjoy the cooler nights of autumn in Colorado.

Get ready for fall

It’s a good time to put in some work to help your landscape stay healthy as it heads into dormancy for the winter. It's still warm, but autumn begins next week and we look forward to cooler days ahead. A little care now will help make your lawn hardier so that it will return next spring as vibrant as ever.

Time for a color change

Last week we talked about planting now for next spring. If you want some seasonal color now, try a fall-themed container garden.

Add more plants

The hottest days of the summer are over, and things should be cooling down soon. It’s a good time to add plants to our landscapes.

Pet-friendly landscapes

Last week we had National Dog Day--a good time to think about how to keep our four-legged friends safe while maintaining our landscapes.

Start late-season crops now

Want your harvest to continue into the fall? Start some leafy greens, herbs, broccoli and root crops now.

Heat and smoky skies continue

Record-breaking high temperatures aren’t the best conditions for growing vegetables. The heat, and smoke from wildfires, aren’t good for the gardener, either. Take care of your garden and yourself with these tips.

Battle the Bugs

Recent hot days and precipitation are a perfect combination for insects in our gardens and landscapes. Keep an eye on your garden, especially edible plants, and act on pests as soon as you spot them.

It's good to be a drip

When your faucet drips, it wastes water. But when your irrigation drips, it could be using water wisely. Drip irrigation uses a low pressure, low volume method of applying water directly to the base of plants or at the roots.

Lose the Lawn Bag

Emptying your grass catcher can be a hot, messy job in the heat of summer. Save yourself the work and improve your landscape in the process by grasscycling. Leaving your grass clippings on the lawn helps return nutrients to the soil and reduce evaporation from the soil.

Save water, save money

Water-efficient sprinklers, smart controllers, and low-maintenance plants help you conserve water and save time on maintaining your landscape. Using less water can save you money, too, after the initial investment. You may also be eligible for rebates to offset that initial investment as well.

The Heat is On

The Front Range is hot right now, and your plants might be feeling it a little too much. Here are a few tips for helping your landscape cope with high temperatures and sun.

Slower is smarter

Smart technology can help you save money, conserve water, and keep your landscape looking great. As we kick off Smart Irrigation Month, we’ve got a tip for using technology to do just that: water slowly.

Try native grasses

Turf serves an important purpose: it provides recreation areas for adults, kids, and pets alike. But native grasses bring a character all their own, with the added bonus of being low-water and low-maintenance once established. Ornamental grasses can also provide height, varying texture, movement, and year-round interest. Consider adding them to your landscape this year.

Bees get thirsty too

This week is Pollinator Week, when we celebrate all that the many types of pollinators—bees, butterflies, birds, bats, flies and more—do for us. It’s a good time to think of ways you can support your local pollinators. Remember that when it’s hot outside, pollinators get thirsty too.

Cycle and soak

As temperatures rise, you may be tempted to run your sprinkler longer. But resist that temptation, and instead practice cycle-and-soak watering. It’s an efficient way to keep your landscape healthy and be sure that none of your watering goes to waste.

Five benefits of mulch

One way to save water and dress up the landscape in the process is to top dress bed areas with mulch. And there is nothing better to use than fresh, 100% organic wood mulch.

Plant some sunshine

There’s still time to plant some sunflowers in your landscape. The National Garden Bureau named 2021 the Year of the Sunflower, and with good reason. This cheerful plant is always a popular cut flower, and it’s rather easy to grow.

Prep for hail

Late spring is hail season in Colorado. It's good to know what precautions you can take ahead of time and what you can do for plants after hail has dealt its blows.

Keep weeds in check

What is a weed? It’s any plant that grows where we don’t want it. Often they are non-native, potentially invasive plants that can outgrow and crowd out the plants we put in our landscape on purpose.

Give a gift that lives on

Cut flowers fade and die soon after gifting them. Why not give Mom—or any special person in your life—a gift that will give them joy for more than a week?

Train your turf

A little tough love now will benefit your lawn throughout the growing season. Springtime is when grass grows its feeder roots that will capture water all season long. Later it will grow more blades, then store nutrients for winter.

Order bugs to control weeds

Bindweed might look like a miniature version of morning glory, but it is a nuisance that seems like it can take over a garden almost overnight. It is very difficult to control once established in your landscape.

Avoid these 5 lawn care mistakes

A healthy lawn not only looks great, but it can prevent erosion, cool the local environment and filter pollutants from air and water. To enjoy all of those benefits, avoid these five mistakes.

Need spring color right now?

After recent snows gave them a dose of moisture, and with temperatures heating up along the Front Range, early spring bulbs are popping up in landscapes and giving us a hint of the color to come. Crocuses, hyacinths, even some daffodils and tulips can be spotted in gardens and flower beds.

Get ready for the growing season

Itching to get out and work in the yard? Planting time really is just around the corner. While you wait until the threat of freeze is over, there are plenty of ways to prepare for the growing season.

Ergonomic gardening

Gardening and landscape care can be a healthy hobby that helps us get outdoors and moving around. But proper form is important to avoid discomfort or injury.

Sustainable landscapes

It’s too early to start planting, but it's a good time to make a plan for a successful landscape this year. Recent heavy snowfall was much-needed, but it has not eliminated drought in the state, so be sure that your landscape plans are strategic and water-wise.

Children who grow their own vegetables are five times more likely to eat them, according to a 2015 study.

Ice melt safety

Snow and ice can wreak havoc on our sidewalks and pathways, but responsible use of ice melt is important for people, plants, and pets.

Plan now for spring

After the recent deep freeze, it’s hard to believe that spring is just a month away. While you’re staying warm indoors, it’s a good time to plan your landscape for warmer months. Demand is high and we are already booking up, so get on our calendars now.

Soil is more than dirt

If you’re building a house, you need a solid foundation. The same goes for building a landscape. Soil serves as the foundation, so it pays to focus on creating a quality foundation if you want a healthy landscape.

Know your zone

It’s often said that the key to successful, sustainable plants is putting the right plant in the right place. But first, you need to know your place. That begins by learning your hardiness zone while you plan your landscape.

Your trees are thirsty

Trees are one of the most valuable assets in a landscape. With ongoing drought in Colorado, winter watering is more important than ever to preserve your investment. It’s a good rule of thumb to water your trees twice per month in winter.

Order now for spring

Winter officially began just a few weeks ago, but it’s already time to think about what you want in your garden this summer.

Winter Lawn Care

Dry conditions across Colorado mean you’ll need to drag out the hose and sprinkler and water your landscape this winter.

Gardening indoors

The backyard garden may be finished for the season, but you can keep your green thumb in shape with an indoor herb garden this fall and winter.

Wrap and water your trees

November is a good time to think about wrapping your vulnerable trees for the winter. If you planted a new tree this fall or have a young tree in your landscape, wrapping it can protect your trees from winter damage.

Water by the thermometer, not the calendar

Fall is a critical time for lawn care and moisture.

Prepare for snow

Along the Front Range, snow is in the weekend forecast. We’ve already seen temperatures dipping pretty low at night this week, so you should already have prepared your irrigation system.

Did you plant spring bulbs yet?

This fall’s mild temperatures give us an opportunity to plant now for a beautiful landscape next year. It’s a good time to get bulbs into the ground for spring color.

Turn on the lights

The days are getting shorter, but it’s still warm enough to enjoy our outdoor living areas. Fewer hours of daylight shouldn’t keep you from enjoying your landscape. Outdoor lighting can keep the party going and allow you to spend quality time on your patio through the fall.

Compost your yard waste

As the growing season winds down and you prepare your landscape for winter, you may find yourself with a lot of yard waste. Instead of bagging it and tossing it into the garbage, why not make that yard waste continue to benefit your plants by composting?

Plant pansies now

Our days may still be hot, but autumn is officially here. Fall is a good time to plant, but for fall color it’s best to choose plants that can withstand a chill.

Fall turf care

As we head into fall, take some time to change up your lawncare routine to help it continue to serve you well next year.
