Here are some tips to prep your yard for spring:

How to Recognize that Spring Has Arrived

Recognizing the arrival of spring seems easy enough — snow melts, the temperature rises, and flowers begin to bloom. But, when it comes to your yard and landscaping, sometimes spring comes earlier than you might think.

There are a few signs spring is coming:

Longer days and warmer temperatures
You notice pollinators and birds in your area
Buds begin opening on trees
Early flowering shrubs start to come alive

While the first official day of spring is not until March 19, if you start to notice any of these signs in your yard, it might be time to start thinking of prepping your yard for any landscape projects or planting you want to tackle first!

Prepping Your Yard for Spring

One of the first things you can do when it comes time to prep your yard for spring is to start with some general clean-up tasks like leaf removal and clearing twigs, and other debris that accumulated over the winter. This paves the way for new growth and prevents any rotting debris from blocking the sun or smothering your yard.

Once your basic cleanup has occurred, you can dive into other areas like:

Pruning and Trimming

Now is the perfect time to give your trees and shrubs a “haircut” after their winter hibernation. Pruning and trimming in the spring will promote new growth and create a denser, tidier look for your plants in the summer. Grab some pruning shears and begin cutting back old branches and make room for fresh growth.

Lawn Maintenance

Now that winter is over, your lawn could use some TLC. Taking good care of your lawn not only enhances your home’s curb appeal but also creates a great ecosystem for your backyard and flower beds. To keep your grass healthy, mow it regularly, edge it for a clean and defined look, and blow away debris for a more polished appearance.

If you dread the thought of breaking out the lawn mower this spring, we offer regular lawn maintenance and can help. One of our most popular services is weekly lawn mowing services to keep your property at its best.

Mulching and Planting

The soil is the foundation of your yard, and taking care of it can make a big difference in how your plants and any new shrubs grow this spring. Adding mulch every spring is a great way to help the soil retain moisture as temperatures rise and to reduce weed growth.

Once you have finished mulching, it is time to start planting. Spring is the perfect season for most annuals and perennials since they will have the whole growing season to mature and bloom. Our complete landscaping services help you with designing, installation, weed control, mulching and more to keep your West Chester home or business looking its best this spring.
