Begin with an effective plan. Landscaping isn't a one-size-fits-all task but tailoring your efforts to the seasons can make a difference. Start by analyzing your landscape's needs based on the local climate and soil conditions. Creating a customized plan lays the foundation for success. In spring, focus on rejuvenation. As the ground thaws, it's time to revitalize your garden. Begin with a comprehensive cleanup: remove debris, dead plants, and fallen branches accumulated over winter. Pruning shrubs and trees encourages healthy growth and can shape your plants for the coming months. Fertilizing your lawn and adding mulch to flowerbeds will provide essential nutrients, promoting lush, vigorous growth.
Summer is the season for maintaining and managing growth. Regular watering becomes crucial, especially since extended heat can stress plants. We recommend early morning or late evening watering for optimal absorption. Consistent lawn mowing encourages root development and prevents weeds from taking over. Summer is also an excellent time to inspect for pests and diseases, treating them promptly to safeguard your plants.
With the arrival of autumn, preparation is key. This season is a prime time to aerate your lawn. Aeration alleviates soil compaction, allowing roots to access essential resources. Fall planting can also be beneficial; bulbs and some perennials establish roots in cooler soil, leading to vibrant displays in spring. As leaves fall, rake regularly to prevent lawn damage and fungal growth. Apply a high-phosphorus winterizer to your lawn to bolster root health during the colder months.
Winter doesn’t mean neglect but rather strategic protection. Protect delicate shrubs and young trees with burlap wraps to shield them from harsh winds and frost. Snow can be an insulator, but heavy accumulation should be gently removed to avoid broken branches. Planning indoor maintenance tasks, such as sharpening tools and servicing lawn equipment, ensures you're ready for spring.
