It’s Almost Spring: Landscaping Cleanup Time

As winter fades and the days grow longer, spring is right around the corner - and that means it’s time to prepare your yard for a fresh start. A proper spring landscaping cleanup not only improves curb appeal but also sets the foundation for healthy growth throughout the warmer months.

Why Spring Cleanup Matters

Winter can leave behind a mess of fallen branches, compacted soil, dead plants, and debris that smothers your lawn and garden beds. Removing this buildup allows sunlight, air, and nutrients to reach the soil, encouraging strong root development and vibrant new growth.

Key Steps in a Spring Landscaping Cleanup

1. Clear debris - Remove leaves, sticks, and other winter debris from lawns, beds, and hardscapes. This prevents mold, pests, and disease from taking hold.

2. Prune and trim - Trim back damaged or dead branches from trees and shrubs. Proper pruning promotes healthier growth and improves plant shape and safety.

3. Refresh garden beds - Pull early weeds, edge beds for a clean look, and add fresh mulch. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

4. Lawn preparation - Rake out thatch, aerate compacted areas if needed, and overseed bare spots. Early lawn care leads to thicker, greener grass as spring progresses.

5. Inspect Drainage and Hardscapes - Check for pooling water, clogged drains, or shifting pavers caused by freeze-thaw cycles. Addressing these issues early prevents bigger problems later.
