We’ve compiled the spring landscape maintenance checklist for your landscape! It’s time to start thinking about waking up your landscape from their long winter slumber.
Spring Landscape Maintenance Checklist
- Start up your irrigation system. Change the batteries and check the time and date on your controller. Schedule your controller for spring irrigation.
- Check your irrigation system for any clogged valves or frozen pipes and make sure the sprinklers are providing even coverage to avoid dry spots.
- Prune any dead or damaged tree or shrub branches.
- Cut back flowering perennials and ornamental grasses.
- Remove fallen leaves and debris from planter beds.
- Sweep and clean hardscape surfaces.
- Deep clean artificial turf and look for repairs that may need to be made.
- Aerate your lawn. Aerating will open up the lawn to allow water and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively.
- Apply a slow-release fertilizer to your lawn.
- Mulch your garden beds around perennials, trees, and shrubs. Be sure to keep mulch away from the crown of the plant.
- Plan summer landscape projects.
When it comes to planning your summer landscape projects, we suggest listing your top 5-10 projects. Whether they be installing a new paver walkway or refreshing DG mulch, you want to start making a plan for those projects. If you need a professional, reach out to them early in the year, so you can get on their schedule.
After you’ve checked off your spring cleaning checklist, you are ready to enjoy a fresh landscape! Starting off your landscaping on the right foot in the spring will ensure a beautiful outdoor space you can enjoy all year long.
