Families often visit graves in spring: soil thaws, leaves fall, winter debris needs clearing. It's the best season for memorial-day prep and monument installation after soil settling.

Spring checklist: clean last year's leaves and branches; remove accumulated debris; check paving joints and fence anchors after frost; clean the monument from coating; water (after stable warm temperatures) or prep the flowerbed.

If planting: pick hardy perennials — thyme, sedum, low hostas. Annuals (petunias, marigolds) are pretty but need regular watering — consider this if visits are rare.

It's convenient to bundle the spring visit into a seasonal subscription: spring, summer, and optionally a third before a memorial date. Estimate and schedule fixed in advance.

In short: spring means cleaning, stone/fence check, optional planting. Leave a request with city and cemetery — we'll come in the next window with a photo report.
