It’s our job to be experts in all aspects of lawn care and maintenance, including mulch. Remove old mulch first before adding new mulch. Consider your home’s roof color, shutter color, and the color scheme of your plantings.

Hummingbird Gardens

The easiest way to find hummingbirds in Oklahoma is to create your own hummingbird garden on your property. There are three species in Oklahoma, two that nest in Oklahoma and one that migrates through. Don’t forget to add a feeder or two because they need to eat every 15-20 minutes.

The Secret to a Well-Nourished Lawn? Overseeding!

Oklahoma’s weather seasons can wreak havoc on your grass, leaving it looking thin and unnourished. Overseeding is spreading grass seed over an existing lawn. Done right, it’s a straightforward process that gets results. As grasses mature, thinning is normal—especially if you use your lawn often. GreenPro Lawn specialists are experts at getting great results from the lawns we service. A simple, consistent lawn maintenance schedule can keep your lawn lush and your weekends free.

Fences & Property Lines

A few ideas and options for how best to ensure your property’s lines can be best created and tended. Potted plants such as arborvitae or clumping bamboo can be positioned to create a green screen around a raised deck seating area. Deciduous shade trees are a good way to obscure a neighbor’s view from a second-story window or terrace. Panels and pergolas can re-create the intimate feeling of eating or entertaining indoors while still enjoying beautiful weather.

Hanging Gardens & Trailing Vines

Creating Entrances That Inspire

It’s important not to neglect any aspect of your home’s design, including the entrance. GreenPro recently had the opportunity to work with a client to create a breathtaking front door entrance to their home. The entrance to the house has a direct effect on the landscape design and overall home décor.

January Care

It’s a good idea to prune dormant trees and shrubs now, since you will be clearing space for spring growth to occur. Spring-flowering branches should be brought indoors for forcing. If you’re planning on doing spring planting, you might want to sow seeds in indoor flats to start the growth process now. You should keep an eye on your garden for any plants that may have been uprooted by frost heaving. An extra layer of mulch should help restore growth.
