With highs in the upper 60s and 70s, most are enjoying the weather however it can damage your lawn.
Lawn experts say the nice weather can cause trees and flowers to sprout too early, and can freeze when temperatures drop.
On Thursday, avid gardener Paula Winchester made it a point to water her garden.
"It's so dry, we've had so little moisture today I said I'm watering so I am moving this [sprinkler] every 45 minutes to a new location here in my front yard,” said Winchester.
The good news is grass is easy to bring back to life, it only takes about an inch of water to get that lush green back. It’s trees, that lawn care experts say to look out for.
“They think it's ready for the leaves to start forming and popping through those buds and then we get another snow storm or an ice storm or a stretch of below 32 degree weather and all those buds are frozen, the tree has to have enough energy to puff again,” said Julie Jennings, owner of Jennings Tree Care.
Jennings says removing a dead tree can cost anywhere from $800 to a $1,000. A freeze can also hurt budding flowers if they come out of the ground too much.
Jennings says water while it’s nice, but do not water right before temperatures drop because that will guarantee a freeze.
