Spring is synonymous with renewal, making it the perfect time to give your garden a fresh start. Begin by cleaning up the remnants of winter. Clear away debris, prune dead branches, and remove any weeds that have taken root over the colder months. This sets a clean canvas for new growth. Spring is also an ideal time to aerate your lawn. Aeration allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to penetrate down to the grassroots, promoting healthy growth. As you prepare your garden beds, consider adding a layer of compost to improve soil quality and stimulate plant growth. Be sure to take inventory of your plants and shrubs, replacing any that did not survive the winter with hardy spring varieties.
Summer brings with it sunshine and warmth, which plants thrive under—but it also demands vigilance in maintaining healthy growth. Watering becomes critical as the days get hotter. Ensure your garden receives a deep watering in the morning to minimize evaporation. Installing a drip irrigation system can be a highly efficient way to ensure plants are getting the hydration they need without wasting water. Mulching is another summer must-do; it helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps roots cool. Focus on plants that bloom beautifully in the summer, such as daylilies and hostas, to add vibrant color and a touch of elegance to your yard.
As fall approaches, it's time to prepare your garden for the colder months ahead. Fall is excellent for planting perennials, shrubs, and trees, as the soil remains warm enough to encourage root development, and cooler temperatures reduce stress on young plants. Be sure to rake leaves regularly to prevent them from suffocating the grass beneath. Overseed your lawn to fill in bare spots and promote a dense, hearty turf by next spring. Additionally, consider planting fall bulbs like tulips and daffodils to ensure a burst of color after winter.
Winter, often seen as a dormant period, is actually the time to focus on planning and maintenance. Check tools and equipment, ensuring they are clean and in good working condition. Winter is also an ideal time to design and plan new hardscaping installations. Walkways, patios, and retaining walls can be designed during this season, ready to be implemented as soon as the ground thaws. Protect vulnerable young trees and shrubs with burlap coverings to prevent damage from harsh winter winds and frost.
