Get Party Ready!
Memorial Day cookouts and Graduation Celebrations both represent a time for reflection. We could never give enough thanks to those who have given the greatest sacrifice to keep our freedoms. We can honor them this Memorial Day by attending one of the parades or services that are being held on Monday, May 29.  Click here for a listing from McHenry County Living of Memorial Day Events near you.
High school and college graduations seem to go hand in hand with the spring Holiday weekend. Again, a time to look back and reflect. As the graduate or a relative of one, the road that has been traveled to broaden their horizons gives all of us hope for a better tomorrow.

Here at Countryside we congratulate this year's graduates and are excited for their future success!

Good luck to Rachael and Emma as they graduate from high school and begin their journey, furthering their education. It has been a pleasure having you here at Countryside and we wish you the very best for a bright and prosperous future!   

Our Floral Designers are happy to create beautiful presentation bouquets in your graduates school colors.

Here are a couple tips from our Landscape Professionals:
Edging and mulching are easy ways to get your landscape in shape. View our two new videos from our Landscape Department's Production Foreman, Chris Rodriguez, for the best techniques.

Adding a fresh layer of Mulch  does more than look nice. Whatever your mulch preference, it not only gives you a 'finished' look but it also helps to retain moisture and keep weeds down.  There are many choices of mulch; shredded hardwood, premium fines, cedar, cocoa, chunk bark, etc. 

Once you finish your edging and mulching, its time to apply Preen! Visit the Garden Center for this wonderful product that you sprinkle onto your fresh mulch. It will keep weeds from germinating for up to three months! Treat yourself to a beautiful, weed free landscape this year!

If you are not a do-it-yourself type, call or email our landscape department for help!
