Spring: 1. Clean up debris - Start the season by removing any leaves, branches, or other debris that have accumulated over the winter. This will allow your yard to breathe and grow. 2. Mulch flower beds - Mulching flower beds helps retain moisture and control weeds. It's also a great way to add a fresh, polished look to your yard. 3. Plant new flowers - Spring is the perfect time to plant new flowers and shrubs. Be sure to choose plants that are suitable for your climate and soil.
Summer: 1. Water wisely - Watering deeply and infrequently is key during the hot summer months. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid evaporation. 2. Trim regularly - Keep your lawn and bushes trimmed to encourage healthy growth and discourage pests. 3. Fertilize as needed - If your plants are looking a little lackluster, a dose of fertilizer may be needed. Be sure to follow instructions carefully.
Fall: 1. Rake leaves - As beautiful as fall foliage is, it can suffocate your lawn if left untouched. Be sure to rake leaves regularly. 2. Aerate your lawn - Aerating your lawn helps with water absorption and root growth. It's best done in the fall when the ground is still warm. 3. Plant bulbs for spring - Fall is the perfect time to plant bulbs like tulips and daffodils for a burst of color in the spring.
Winter: 1. Protect sensitive plants - If you have fragile plants, be sure to cover them or bring them indoors during frosty nights. 2. Prune trees and shrubs - Winter is a great time to prune trees and shrubs while they are dormant. Just be sure to avoid pruning flowering plants until after they bloom. 3. Plan for next year - Use the winter months to plan out any new landscaping projects you want to tackle in the spring.
