Landscaping, season by season

The work a Stone Mountain yard needs, in the order the year asks for it. The current season is highlighted. Call to confirm which jobs Ramos can take on for your property.

Late winter

Jan – Feb

Pruning

Most shrubs and summer-flowering plants are shaped while dormant, before new growth starts. Spring bloomers like azaleas wait until after they flower.

Planting, continued

Trees and shrubs can still go in while the ground is workable, finishing the fall-to-winter planting window.

Spring

Mar – May

Mulch & bed cleanup

Clearing beds, recutting edges, and laying fresh mulch to hold moisture and keep weeds down ahead of the summer heat.

First mowing

Bermuda and zoysia lawns green up in April. Mowing starts once the grass is actively growing.

Summer

Jun – Aug

Regular mowing & edging

Peak growing season for warm-season grass. Consistent cuts keep a lawn thick and even.

New sod

Warm-season sod roots fastest from late spring into midsummer, while soil is warm.

Hedge touch-ups

Light trimming to keep hedges in shape through the growing months.

Fall

Sep – Nov

Tree & shrub planting

The best planting window in Georgia. Roots keep growing in cool soil through winter, so plants are established before the next summer.

Leaf cleanup

Leaves come down from October on and peak in November. Clearing them keeps lawns and beds from smothering.

Last cuts

Mowing tapers off as warm-season grass slows down and goes dormant.
