The ACE approach gets results
When you want to get your garden looking its best fast, stick to this three-step process to make the most of your efforts.
A = Assess the garden
• Determine where people will gather.
• Find the most noticeable problems.
• Identify areas with seasonal interest.
C = Clean up problems
• Remove unhealthy plants and plant parts: dead plants, dead branches, dead leaves, weeds, and spent flowers.
• Create crisp lines by mowing, trimming, and edging the lawn.
• Clean all hardscaping. Sweep or power-wash patios, paths, or fountains as needed and as time allows.
E = Enhance what you have
• Capture your guests’ attention with an eye-catching table  and a beautiful patio stage.
• Add color for interest. Install blooming or bright-foliage  plants where they will make a difference, either in colorful pots or to fill gaps in beds.
• Design an inviting entry.  Include elements from your  garden to hint at what guests will experience inside.
• Add fresh mulch. A thin layer, just enough to cover the old mulch or to cover any bare patches, will do wonders.
