You may find lots of unique creatures lurking in your yard this year. The late spring has already offered its own challenges to those looking to keep their yard nice and neat this year. It is even more pronounced in Door County, where the weather can be drastically different whether you are north or south and inland or along the shore. Kris Meissner from Meissner Landscape in Sturgeon Bay says they have also seen an uptick in the presence and the damage caused by pests this year.

For the do-it-yourself landscapers, Meissner encourages you to walk around your property to see what your yard is doing and to take a rake to some of it to stimulate the roots system and remove dead material from it.
