Your landscape is an investment. You want to preserve your landscape design and make it look as good as possible for the growing season. During the early months of spring, it’s an exciting time as you see your landscape come back to life. However, there is some work that needs to be done to ensure you get the growing season that you’re looking for. Mickey’s LawnScapes is here to talk about why a spring landscape cleanup is necessary to give you a greener growing season this summer.

Make Sure a Spring Cleanup Happens for the Green Growing Season You’re Looking For

When it comes to the spring months and getting your yard ready for summer, there are some things that need to be done to ensure your plants and property look as stunning as possible this summer. Here are some of the maintenance items that must be done to ensure a greener yard:
– Removing Winter Damage: It is inevitable. There is bound to be some winter damage that happens when the extreme cold hits. It is normal to get some winter burn on your plants. Removing these damaged portions of the plant will allow the sunlight to directly hit the plant and cause new buds to start growing. If there are any leaves left behind from the winter months, those need to be removed as well so that fungal disease doesn’t start growing.
– Mulching & Pruning: Once you have gotten debris cleared from the space, you can see the structural elements of the garden beds. As you prune trees and shrubs, it improves air circulation and access to sunlight for the plant. This is a crucial time for most trees and shrubs. This is also a great time to do some edging between the grass and the flower beds. It will give you the clean line that you’re looking for. Once you have finished those tasks, laying down high quality mulch helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture and give a polished look to your beds.
– Fertilization: It is important to give your soil the nutrients that it needs to foster growth, blooms and healthy plants. It is important that you use the right amount of fertilizer on your plants as too much can leave plants burned. When you are working with a landscape specialist, they will know exactly what fertilizer your yard needs.
– Weed Control: You will also want to stay ahead of the weeds this season with some weed control. Using a pre-emergent weed control can help cut out a lot of weeding and work this summer.
