May Plant of the Month: Rhododendron 🌸

We are entering rhododendron season in New Jersey! They usually bloom in May into early June, and the flowers often last around 2 to 3 weeks depending on the variety and the weather.

A few things to know:
🌿 Broadleaf evergreen, so they keep their foliage year-round
🪴 Best in acidic, well-drained soil
💧 Prefer consistent moisture, but not soggy roots
☀️ Usually do best with some protection from harsh afternoon sun

Like a lot of beautiful things, rhododendrons can be a little particular, but they are worth it when you get the conditions right.

Even the best-looking lawns need a little TLC sometimes.

From a distance, a lawn may look great. Up close, though, it is easier to spot the thin patches, w**ds, and other small issues that can build up over time.

That is where the right care can make a real difference. 🌱

On Administrative Professionals Day, we’re recognizing Autumn Chisholm, our Administrative Director of Financial & Utility Operations, for everything she does behind the scenes to help keep Aspen running smoothly.

In her nearly six years with the company and as part of Aspen’s third generation, Autumn has helped reorganize and modernize how Aspen’s financial and utility divisions handle records, paperwork, and daily operations.

For Autumn, those accomplishments are really Aspen’s accomplishments. More than anything, she’s proud to be continuing a legacy of strong female leadership and doing work that would make her grandmother proud. 💖🌳

Thinking about seeding your lawn this spring? 🌱

Spring seeding can work, but it is not always the best move for long-term success. In our latest blog post, we break down when it makes sense, why it can be more challenging, and why fall is still the preferred seeding season for many New Jersey lawns.

Read more here:

Spring is when a lot of homeowners start thinking about their lawn again. Bare spots stand out more, winter damage becomes easier to see, and it is natural to assume this is the best time to put seed down and freshen things up.The short answer is yes, you can seed…

Strong root systems support healthier trees and shrubs. 🌱

Root zone fertilizer treatments deliver nutrients below the surface, where ornamental trees and shrubs need them most. A blend of liquid fertilizer and organic supplements is injected into the root zone to help stimulate root growth, improve plant hardiness, and support overall vigor.

Early spring is one of the key times to apply them, especially as plants head into the growing season after a rough winter.

After a rough winter, some trees and shrubs may benefit from a little extra support. Aspen Tree and Turf is here to help.

We know you’re probably itching to get outside and bring your lawn back to its former glory. Your first mow of the season is a great place to start.

Before you fire up the mower, clear away any leftover winter debris and hold off if the lawn is still soggy. When it is time to mow, try not to cut it too short. Keeping cool-season turf around 2.5 to 3.5 inches helps support a healthier lawn as spring gets underway.

We’ll be sharing more lawn care tips throughout April for National Lawn Care Month. 🌱

If geese keep taking over your lawn, common area, or pond edge, you know how quickly the mess can build up. Constant droppings, worn grass, and aggressive behavior during nesting season can make outdoor spaces a lot less usable.

Aspen Tree and Turf now offers professional goose control treatments for residential and commercial properties. Our program uses a turf-applied repellent to make treated grass less attractive to feeding geese, helping reduce repeat activity over time.

This service is a great fit for lawns, HOA and condo common areas, office parks, athletic fields, and pond-edge turf where geese tend to return again and again.

If geese are making your property harder to enjoy, Aspen Tree and Turf can help.

Since April is National Lawn Care Month, we're featuring a grass that's a classic in New Jersey lawns: Kentucky bluegrass.

Known for its rich color and dense, traditional look, Kentucky bluegrass is one of the cool-season turfgrasses that helps create the kind of lawn many homeowners picture this time of year. It tends to do especially well in sunny areas and is valued for its ability to spread and fill in over time, which helps it recover and create a more uniform look.

Like any lawn, though, success depends on more than just the grass type. Sun exposure, soil conditions, maintenance, and timing all play a role in how a lawn performs through the season.

In honor of National Lawn Care Month, we'll be sharing more lawn care tips and turf-focused information throughout April. As always, if your property needs support this season, Aspen Tree and Turf is here to help. 🌱
