Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
New Growth Landscaping was proud to be a part of the landscaping team which transformed the Keefer family's yard as part of their Extreme Makeover. The Keefer family, located in Etters PA, was chosen as the recipients of this amazing gift when nominated by a friend. Brian Keefer, age 23, was paralyzed in a gymnastics accident 3 years ago and has had limited mobility through his parents' house as he has been confined to a wheelchair. Musser Home Builders joined up with EMHE to build Brian and his family a home that would change their lives. Levendusky Landscapes was tapped to provide the landscaping for the yard and through them, New Growth and several other landscape companies got to join in the project to give the Keefer family a beautiful yard to enjoy.
Joe and Rebecca spent 12 hours at the site, working with the other landscapers and volunteers to plant trees and shrubs, perennials and annuals, lay sod, mulch and help design a few beds. It was an amazing experience, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we were blessed to be a part of this life-changing event for the Keefer family. When you see thousands of people come together to do something for a family in need, you are instantly convicted of God's amazing blessing of the human spirit. Welcome home, Keefer family!

Spring Clean Up
It seems Old Man Winter has finally released his grasp on nature, as the dull gray of the sky gives way to blue and the sunlight glitters, melting the last traces of snow on the ground for the season. It was difficult living life under a blanket of snow this year. But the crocuses and daffodils peeking through the thawing earth are a sure sign that Spring is here. It’s time to prepare for the beauty that abounds after such a long snowy Winter!
Early Spring clean-up is essential to the vitality of one’s garden. Looking around your yard, you might be astounded at the sight. Rest assured that under the dismal gray of your dilapidated garden hides the bright green of new life, waiting to be awakened and urged to the surface! But where to begin?
Start by removing all debris: sticks, dead branches and leaves. These are Mr. Winter’s idea of polar décor but they have no room in a Spring garden full of color and life! (Helpful tip: Use the leaves and small branches for composting.) You also want to cut back existing perennials, and prune shrubs and woody plants to get rid of any dead or damaged areas, which allows for new growth and optimal health throughout the season. At this time, some perennials might need to be divided or moved.
To prepare soil for the season, you can apply pre-emergent which prevents weeds from germinating. Pre-emergent comes in different varieties, including one which also prevents the growth of crab grass, and one with a fertilizer right in the mix, providing essential nutrients for your plants. For the environmentally-conscious green thumb, there are organic varieties available as well. Amending your soil with compost, sand or peat moss is recommended but be aware of how wet your soil is. If it’s too wet, it will compact more and result in poor soil structure.
Finally, when planning for flowers, Perennials are favored over Annuals for their cost-effectiveness. Annuals are a reoccurring purchase and are often used for fillers in predominantly-Perennial gardens, or tucked into hanging pots and window boxes for splashes of color. Perennials take a bit more work to care for but are great investments. Regardless of which type you want, each offers a vast array of colors, blooms, textures, and scents. An important aspect to keep in mind when planning your garden is the sunlight requirement of each plant. There are many different plants that love the shade, so don’t exclude those areas of your yard!
You can always consult a professional landscaper to help you with the process. From soil amendments and plant knowledge, to creating a whole new landscape for you, the expertise offered by a professional is often a tremendous help if the task seems too daunting. Regardless of who does it though, prepping and planning a garden takes time and is well worth the effort. By mid-Spring you will already see results, and memories of this winter’s deluge of snow will be as long-gone as the old man himself.
