March into Spring!

There’s something special about this time of year in Indiana. 🌱

If you look closely, you’ll start to notice the slightest hint of green returning to the trees. Those tiny buds and soft shades of green are one of the first quiet signs that spring is waking up after a long winter.

In Central Indiana, trees typically begin leafing out in late March and early April, so those early hints of green mean brighter days are just around the corner. March is the perfect month to check in on your yard and make sure your trees are ready for a healthy, vibrant season.

Set your trees up for a great spring:

  • Prune Before Growth Peaks: Remove dead or damaged branches before leaves and flowers emerge.

  • Inspect for Winter Damage: Ice, wind, and heavy snow can leave hidden issues that need attention.

  • Plan Your Spring Plantings: Whether it’s adding new trees or shrubs, March is the ideal time to prepare.

  • Fertilize & Mulch: Give your trees a boost as they start their spring growth cycle.

Starting early means healthier, stronger trees that thrive all season. Don’t wait… Spring is calling! Answer the call and make March the month your trees get the attention they deserve!
