Believe it or not old man winter almost ready to go back to sleep and the warm spring weather is right around the corner. That means now is a good time to start thinking about your landscaping and what you need to do in order to keep it looking in tip-top shape for the spring, summer, and fall. Both lawn care and yard care centers on being proactive. People put a lot into their houses and places of business. Your landscaping is a direct reflection on how much you care about your real estate. In essence, it is the first thing that others see when pulling up to your property.
Your landscaping also goes a long way in determining the value of your home or commercial building. In essence, curb appeal goes a long way in the real estate market. So without further ado, here are a few spring landscaping maintenance tips for a beautiful yard. First and foremost, it is important to prune in the early spring. Did you know that most of your trees and shrubs need to be pruned in early spring? That means you should cut off any branches that broke during the winter. The lower branches on your evergreen shrubs should also be removed during the early spring.
The next step is to clean up any leaves, branches, and twigs that have fallen on the lawn and other landscaping features, such as mulch beds, during the harsh winter weather. You should treat leaf and debris removal as if your landscaping is entering into a beauty pageant. In essence, the more debris that you remove the better off your landscaping will be. You also need to deal with weeds early in the spring. Did you know that aggressive and invasive weeds tend to get worse as the daylight hours increase during the summertime?
That means the weeds will begin to grow rapidly when the spring turns to summer and they will be far more difficult to pull since their roots are also growing stronger. In order to minimize weed growth in your grass do not mow it too short, allow the grass clipping to return to the lawn, and avoid over watering or under watering. Spring is also the perfect time to re-seed any patches that have formed in your lawn because the weather is warm enough to germinate the seeds, but not too warm to burn the seeds.
Spring landscaping maintenance is certainly a lot of hard work, but it is well worth it. That being stated, if you want to avoid doing the work yourself, but still want to maintain a beautiful yard, hiring an experienced landscaping company is always a great idea.
