Spring is the perfect time to get your yard cleaned up and looking great. The weather is beginning to be enjoyable, and people are ready to do outdoor activities. Garden work is a great way to get into the spring season. You can do many things to get your landscape in excellent condition for the spring season.
1. Clean Up Around The Yard Periodically
Over the winter season, there is a lot of debris that can accumulate in the yard. When things begin to warm up and look a little spring-like, you should get out and start cleaning the landscape. You can also do this periodically throughout the year to keep things maintained.
The more upkeep you do, the easier it is to keep in order. That way, when you begin to plant your flowers, you have a good clean slate to start with. You will be so happy that you keep everything under control and maintained when you get out there to do the work.
2. Maintain Your Flower Beds
One of the big jobs to do when spring begins to bloom is maintaining the flower beds. It is just as essential to maintain your landscape, as it is to plant all the pretty flowers. This means pulling weeds and dead plants. Weeds can really get out of control when not kept up with regularly.
It will allow your beds to look so much nicer when weeds do not overtake them. If you are hiring someone to do your landscaping, it can save you money if you do minor little touches in it during the off-season. Bed maintenance can make a big difference in your landscape’s overall appearance.
3. Mow The Yard Routinely
Many people struggle with knowing when to first begin mowing their lawns for the spring season. Do you wait till the last frost, or not? There are many helpful resources that you can search to help you in the area that you live in.
One helpful tip is to mow early. Don’t wait until it gets too long and hard to manage. This can cause you more work and the chance of doing damage to your grass. Because you’re mowing and all the heaviness of the grass you are cutting sits on top of the good grass. You are not allowing it to breathe and grow properly.
4. Pick A Good Quality Mulch
When you pick out the mulch that you are going to put into your beds and landscaping, pick a good quality one. One that is not only good but is heavy as well. You want your mulch to last you as long as possible.
It makes a difference when you don’t cut corners in this department. The mulch will last longer and stay looking fresh longer this way. Another thing to keep in mind is to lay enough of it down. Don’t skimp on it; give the layers a good healthy amount. That way the rain will not wash it out right away.
