Without the proper seasonal cleanup and lawn preparation, your landscape won’t be ready for a new growing season.

Here are five tips to help achieve a successful landscape this spring:

1) Lightly dethatch the lawn to remove matted down grass and thick thatch.

Failure to remove thick layers of thatch from your lawn may result in mildew issues and inhibit new grass from properly growing in the spring.

2) Cut back perennials and grasses to prepare them for spring growth.

If not done in the fall, all perennials and ornamental grasses should be cut back to remove dead growth and ensure proper growth this spring.

3) Clean up unsightly leaves and debris on the lawn and in the flower beds.

If leaves and debris are left behind and not promptly removed, they might suffocate the lawn or keep sunlight from reaching roots. This can cause turf areas to die and need to be re-seeded.

4) Aerate your lawn to reduce soil compaction and increase root expansion.

Aeration will help your lawn recover from winter by reducing soil compaction and stimulating root expansion, which will help create a stronger, more drought tolerant lawn.

5) Inspect trees and plants for winter damage and needed pruning.

It is important to inspect plants and trees for winter die-back, snow damage and freeze cracks. Once inspected, it is important to prune the plants that need it.

With these spring landscape tips under your belt, you will be set for a successful growing season!
