As the season change, so do the needs of your landscape. From protecting plants from the cold in the winter to providing shade in the summer, there are many steps you can take to ensure that your outdoor space looks its best throughout the year.
In the winter the cold weather can take a toll on your plants, so its important to prepare them for the colder months.
This could include covering delicate plants with burlap or frost cloth, pruning back dead or damaged
growth, and adding a layer of mulch to protect the roots of your plants. Its also a good idea to check your irrigation system and make sure it's winterized to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
In the spring, it's time to start thinking about new growth and adding color to your landscape. This could include planting annuals, which will provide a burst of color and add interest to your outdoor space. You can also start fertilizing your lawn and plants to give them a boost of nutrients and help them grow strong and healthy.
In the summer, the hot weather can be tough on your landscape, so it's important to take steps to keep your plants and lawn hydrated. This could include watering more frequently, especially during dry spells, and adding mulch to help retain moisture in the soil. You can also provide shade for your plants by adding a pergola or planting trees and shrubs that will create natural shade.
In the fall, is time to start preparing your landscape for the colder months ahead. This could include cleaning up leaves and other debris, cutting back dead or overgrown plants, and planting bulbs for spring blooms. You can also add interest to your outdoor space by incorporating fall colors, such as orange, red and yellow, into your plantings.
By taking the time to prepare your landscape for the changing season, you can ensure that your outdoor space looks beautiful and stays healthy all year round.
