Hi Everyone! I'm starting up this year with Landscaping. I've already been doing lawn care for a while now, and decided that landscaping is where I need to be in my my area anyway. My question for everyone is basically when do I start? I want to do the following: Spring/Fall Clean ups, mowing, mulching, stone work (pavers and walls), ponds, planting trees & shrubs, and general landscape installations (no design work at this time). I know that I can start my Spring cleanups here soon. I am in Western Maryland and right now, its about 15 degrees out, and 1 foot of snow on the ground!!!! I mean, can I begin doing stone work before it warms up a bit? What about the ground freezing and stuff, I suppose that would make it difficult to get a good base row? I know I can't plant stuff untill temps get above freezing, right? I have been plowing lots of snow this winter, but I can't keep busy doing that all the time!!!! I work on my legwork and stuff alot when its not snowing. But, I guess I'll just have to play it by ear as far as when to start what? I already have several good jobs lined up.
