Around Greers Ferry Lake, spring shows up early and all at once. By the time the redbuds bloom, every mowing route in Cleburne County is filling up, and the folks who called in March are already on the schedule.
If your place needs a cleanup, fresh mulch, new sod or a weekly mowing route, the window that matters is late February through April. After that you're waiting in line.
What a proper spring cleanup covers
A good cleanup is more than a rake. It means cutting back winter-killed growth, edging beds so they hold mulch, clearing leaves out of corners where they mat and rot, and checking drainage before the spring rains test it.
It's also the cheapest time to fix problems. A washed-out bed edge or a low spot that ponds water is a small job in March — and a bigger one after a summer of erosion.
Sod and new planting
Sod takes best in spring before the heat sets in. The roots establish while the weather is mild, and by July the lawn handles the lake-weekend traffic like it's been there for years.
