🌿 May Landscaping Guide: Build, Plant & Transform with Fanelli Landscape Supply

May is the most important month of the year for your landscape. The weather is right, plant availability is at its peak, and this is when you set the tone for your entire outdoor space.

At Fanelli Landscape Supply, we’re fully stocked and ready—whether you’re refreshing your curb appeal, building out a backyard, or completing a full landscape install.

🌸 Why May Matters for Landscaping

May gives you the perfect combination of:

• Warmer soil temperatures for strong root growth
• Longer daylight hours for faster establishment
• The widest selection of plant material all season

👉 Bottom line: what you plant in May performs better all year

🌳 Build the Foundation: Trees, Evergreens & Shrubs

Every great landscape starts with structure.

At Fanelli Landscape Supply, our nursery is loaded with:

• Privacy trees and evergreens for screening
• Flowering ornamental trees for seasonal interest
• Shrubs for layering and depth

💡 Pro Tip:

Start with your privacy and structure first, then layer in color. This ensures your landscape looks good year-round—not just for a few weeks.

🌿 Perennials: The Backbone of Your Landscape

Perennials come back year after year, making them one of the smartest investments you can make.

Ideal uses:
