As winter comes to an end and the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to start thinking about landscape and lawn care for the upcoming spring and summer months. March is a great time to start preparing your outdoor space for the upcoming growing season. Here are some tips and tricks to get your landscape and lawn in top shape for the months ahead.
- Clean Up Your Yard:
The first step to getting your lawn and landscape ready for spring is to clean up your yard. Rake up any leaves, sticks, and other debris that have accumulated over the winter months. Trim back any dead or damaged branches on trees and shrubs, and clear out any dead plant material from your garden beds.
- Start Pruning:
March is a great time to start pruning your trees and shrubs. This will help them to grow fuller and healthier in the coming months. Make sure to use sharp pruning shears, and only prune back dead or damaged branches.
- Fertilize Your Lawn:
As the weather warms up, your lawn will start to wake up from its winter dormancy. March is a great time to fertilize your lawn to help it grow strong and healthy. Look for a fertilizer with a balanced N-P-K ratio (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium).
- Aerate Your Lawn:
Over time, the soil in your lawn can become compacted, making it difficult for water and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. Aeration is the process of poking small holes in your lawn to loosen up the soil. March is a great time to aerate your lawn and get it ready for the growing season.
- Mulch Your Garden Beds:
Adding a layer of mulch to your garden beds in March can help to keep the soil moist and protect your plants from extreme temperature fluctuations. Look for a mulch that is made from natural materials like wood chips or shredded leaves.
- Plan Your Landscape:
March is also a great time to start planning your landscape for the coming year. Think about what types of plants you want to add to your garden beds, and consider any changes you want to make to your outdoor space.
By following these tips, you can get your lawn and landscape ready for the upcoming growing season. If you need help with any of these tasks, consider hiring a professional landscaping company to assist you. With their expertise and experience, they can help you create the perfect outdoor space for your home.
