Many clients of Johnson’s Landscaping ask us about good times to plant. Another great thing about the Fall is planting! Late September is a great time to start planting, to sod or to seed your yard.
The plant gets in the ground, and there is no harsh weather to harm the root ball while it is establishing. The little stress from weather extremes makes it perfect to plant sod, seeds, trees, shrubs, and plants.
For questions about planting, call us at 301-740-8850.

These easy tips will help you prepare your landscape for the winter months:
Pull mulch back from the base of young trees, particularly if mice are a problem in your area; they can chew on the bark. Mulch after the first freeze to insulate plants against freezing temperatures, especially those that are marginally hardy. Spray trees that are prone to insect and disease problems with dormant oil, provided temperatures are above 40 degrees F. Turn the compost pile one last time, and cover with a tarp to preserve heat and keep heavy rain from leaching nutrients. Remove leaves from water gardens; when they decompose they can release chemicals harmful to fish. Clean your tools and apply a coat of oil to metal surfaces to prevent rust. Disconnect and drain hoses to keep freezing water from bursting hoses or pipes. Remove dead plants and potting soil from clay pots to keep them from cracking. Store the pots in a garage or shed.
