When transitioning from winter to spring, ensuring your yard can thrive following frigid temperatures may seem like a massive job at first. Rest assured, if you break down the necessary tasks needed to prepare your yard, you’ll be able to best the winter gloom and help your yard to thrive in the warmer months.

💡
Key Takeaway
Cleaning up your yard for spring prevents future costly repairs, promotes your property’s overall value, improves curb appeal, and allows greenery to flourish during blooming season.

Follow Our Spring Cleanup Checklist

We all know that winter will leave leftover debris, making you long for your yard’s previous beauty. To help your yard get back into great shape and be vibrant again, follow our spring cleanup checklist’s five simple steps:

1 Remove accumulated debris – Clear leaves and sticks from the lawn and all beds to let the landscape breathe.
2 Cut back perennials and grasses – Identify perennials or grasses that need to be cut or pruned so they don’t become overgrown during the spring.
3 Edge all landscape beds – Create a clean separation to prevent grassroots or weeds, giving your property a polished look.
4 Apply pre-emergent – When temperatures are under 50 degrees, apply a pre-emergent to your landscape beds to prevent new weed growth.
5 Install mulch – As a final step, incorporate mulch to promote premium plant growth and beauty!
⚠ Important Timing and Warnings
  • Best time – Beginning of March through April – the earlier the better
  • Don’t skip debris removal – Disregarding winter debris will cause mold to grow in your yard, harming the landscape
