Spring and Summer: 1. Plan and Design: Start by assessing your outdoor space and creating a plan to achieve your desired look. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, existing plants, and soil quality before designing your landscape. 2. Soil Preparation: Healthy soil is the foundation of a vibrant landscape. Test your soil to determine its pH level and nutrient content. Amend it with organic matter such as compost and fertilizer to ensure optimal plant growth. 3. Plant Selection: Choose a variety of plants that thrive in your region and complement each other. Mix annuals and perennials for a continuous display of color throughout the seasons. 4. Watering and Mulching: Water your plants deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. 5. Regular Maintenance: Keep your landscape looking its best by regularly mowing the lawn, pruning shrubs, and weeding flower beds. Remove any dead or diseased plants to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
Fall: 1. Clean Up: Remove fallen leaves, branches, and debris from your lawn and garden to prevent mold growth and pest infestations. Consider composting organic material to enrich your soil for the following season. 2. Plant Bulbs: Fall is the perfect time to plant spring-blooming bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and crocuses. Dig a hole at the appropriate depth, place the bulb, and cover it with soil for a beautiful display in the spring. 3. Lawn Care: Aerate your lawn to improve soil compaction and promote healthy root growth. Overseed bare patches and apply a slow-release fertilizer to ensure your lawn remains lush and green.
Winter: 1. Snow Removal: Keep your driveways and walkways clear of snow and ice to ensure the safety of your family and visitors. Consider hiring a professional snow plowing service like Lake Huron Lawns for efficient and reliable snow removal. 2. Protect Plants: Cover delicate plants with burlap or frost cloth to shield them from harsh winter winds and freezing temperatures. Consider planting evergreen shrubs for year-round color and interest. 3. Winter Interest: Enhance your winter landscape with seasonal decorations such as wreaths, lights, and outdoor planters. Consider installing landscape lighting to illuminate your yard and create a welcoming ambiance.
