Spring: As the snow melts and the flowers start to bloom, it's time to kick off the landscaping season with a thorough spring clean-up. This includes removing any debris that has accumulated over the winter, pruning shrubs and trees, and fertilizing your lawn. Spring is also a great time to start planning any new landscaping projects you have in mind, such as installing a new flower bed or updating your irrigation system.
Summer: Once the heat of summer sets in, it's important to stay on top of watering to ensure your plants stay healthy and vibrant. Consider installing a drip irrigation system to efficiently water your plants and reduce water waste. Summer is also a good time to inspect your hardscaping features, such as patios and walkways, for any damage that may have occurred during the winter months.
Fall: As the leaves start to change colors and temperatures begin to cool, it's time to prepare your landscape for the colder months ahead. This includes raking leaves, aerating your lawn, and applying a final round of fertilizer before winter sets in. If you have any delicate plants that are susceptible to frost, be sure to protect them with mulch or burlap. Fall is also a good time to prune your trees and shrubs to promote healthy growth in the spring.
Winter: While the winter months may seem like a time to take a break from landscape maintenance, there are still tasks that can be done to prepare for the coming spring. Make sure to keep walkways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents, and continue to monitor any delicate plants for signs of frost damage. Winter is also a good time to plan for any upcoming landscaping projects, such as installing a new outdoor kitchen or updating your outdoor lighting.
