BLOG Mastering Seasonal Shifts: Manny's Expert Tips for Year-Round Landscape Care Feb 25, 2025

As the seasons change, so too do the needs of your landscape. Mastering these transitions is key to maintaining a beautiful garden year-round. Manny's Cleaning, Lawn Care & Snow Removal Services has years of experience navigating these shifts, ensuring your outdoor space thrives through every season. Below, we share expert tips for maintaining your landscape throughout the various stages of the year, keeping your environment vibrant and healthy.

Spring marks the beginning of a renewed life for your landscape. It's the ideal time for lawn care and planting. Start by clearing any debris left from autumn and winter, allowing your lawn to breathe and encouraging new growth. Aeration is particularly important in spring, as it helps loosen compacted soil and promotes better water absorption. Our experts recommend overseeding to fill in bare spots and improve lawn density. Spring is also the perfect time to prune back shrubs and branches, giving them room to blossom.

During summer, maintaining your lawn requires diligent watering, as the hot, dry conditions can stress your landscape. We suggest watering early in the morning or late afternoon to minimize evaporation and ensure water reaches the roots. Consider adjusting your mower blades a bit higher during this season to provide shade to the root systems and reduce water loss. Summer is also a great time to mulch your garden beds. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keeps the soil temperature consistent.

As autumn approaches, soil preparation and protection become paramount. This period is perfect for fertilizing, setting a strong foundation for your plants to endure winter. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer will provide the necessary nutrients to keep your lawn green and healthy. Leaf management is also crucial; consider using a mulching mower to turn leaves into nutrient-rich mulch. Autumn is also an excellent time for planting bulbs and trees, giving them ample time to establish roots before they go dormant in winter.

Winter presents its own set of challenges. While your lawn and plants lie dormant, it's essential to protect them from harsh conditions. Manny's snow removal services ensure that heavy snow does not damage your landscape. Snow can be an insulator for grass and plants, but too much weight can lead to breakage and disease. Regularly clear snow from paths and driveways to prevent compaction and damage. Our experts also recommend gently brushing off heavy snow from branches and shrubs to avoid snapping.

In conclusion, adapting your landscape care to the needs of each season can ensure a thriving garden all year long. With proper planning and expert advice from Manny's Cleaning, Lawn Care & Snow Removal Services, you'll be able to navigate each seasonal shift with ease.
