BLOG Year-Round Yard Mastery: Manny's Tips for Keeping Your Landscape Lush and Tidy Aug 16, 2024

Spring is a time of renewal, and your yard is no exception. Start by cleaning up any debris left over from the winter months. Rake up old leaves, branches, and other debris to allow your lawn to breathe and receive much-needed sunlight. Trim back any dead or overgrown shrubs and trees to allow for new growth. This is also a great time to start planning any new landscaping projects you may have in mind.

As summer approaches, the focus shifts to maintenance. Regular mowing, watering, and weeding are essential to keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant. Make sure to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and invest in a good quality sprinkler system to ensure even coverage. Fertilizing in the early summer can also help provide the necessary nutrients for strong, healthy grass.

Fall is a time of preparation for the coming winter months. As the leaves begin to fall, make sure to keep up with regular raking to prevent them from suffocating your lawn. Aerate your lawn to allow for better water and nutrient penetration and overseed any bare patches to ensure a full, healthy lawn come spring. This is also a good time to prune any trees or shrubs that may need it and to clean out your flower beds and gutters.

Winter may seem like a time to hibernate when it comes to yard work, but there are still things you can do to keep your landscape looking its best. Keep walkways and driveways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents, and make sure to salt or sand as needed. If you have any delicate plants or shrubs, consider covering them with burlap or a protective layer to shield them from the harsh winter weather.
