The holiday season has come and gone. We’re now in the middle of winter, and you know what that means. No, we’re not talking about planning your next ski trip, or replacing that broken snow shovel. Believe it or not it’s time to start thinking about the yard, and your landscape solutions in Marlborough MA for spring that are needed. First and foremost, you need to make sure that your yard is actually ready for the warmer months that are fast approaching. It all starts with an early spring cleanup.
The very first thing that needs to be done in order to prepare for the spring growing season is some basic landscape maintenance. That means your entire yard should be cleaned. All debris that has collected over the winter needs to be removed. Once your yard is free of all debris, the next step is to rake up all of the leaves that have fallen since the fall clean up. Any acorns, pinecones, loose twigs, and other debris need to be raked up and disposed of. Raking also goes a long way in promoting lawn growth because it breaks up the grass that has clumped up over the winter.
Once the raking is complete, the next step is to start the pruning. Did you know that spring is the peak pruning season for your shrubs and trees? Pruning helps keep your shrubs and trees healthy. It also rids them of any potential dangers. For example, pruning presents the perfect opportunity to cut away any limbs that could fall and cause property damage or worse yet bodily injury. Pruning also gives the shrubs an opportunity to regenerate. After the pruning is done, it’s time to edge the lawn.
Edging determines the area where the landscape starts and the lawn ends. It also acts as a barrier that prevents grass from growing into the flowerbeds and mulch beds. Speaking of mulch beds, spring is the best time of year to add new mulch. It not only looks nice, but also helps the flowers and plants stay healthy. In essence, mulch controls the dampness in the ground when the grass is watered or after heavy rainfalls. The last thing that needs to be done to prepare your landscaping for spring is to fertilize the yard.
It’s actually a key component to a lush and green lawn. It’s also a good idea to put down an herbicide that prevents weeds at the same time you fertilize.
