NOTE: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PLANTING AND DESIGN INSTALLS PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT PLANTING SEASONS ARE AS FOLLOWS BUT CAN BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON TEMPERATURES*:

MARCH - END OF MAY / OCTOBER - END OF DECEMBER= YES PLANTING

*IN OUR ZONE THE TEMPERATURES DURING THESE MONTHS ARE TYPICALLY NOT CONDUCIVE TO THE SUCCESSFUL ESTABLISHMENT OF MOST PLANTS, ESPECIALLY TREES AND SHRUBS. HOWEVER, THESE MONTHS ARE GREAT FOR PLANNING.
