Blog Preparing for the Thaw: Spring Landscaping Essentials with Lake Huron Lawns Oct 20, 2024

As winter comes to an end and the snow begins to melt, it's time to start thinking about preparing your yard for the upcoming spring season. At Lake Huron Lawns, we understand the importance of getting your landscape in top shape for the warmer months ahead. This blog post will outline some essential tasks to tackle as you transition from winter to spring.

One of the first things you should do is assess the damage that winter may have caused to your lawn and garden. Check for any signs of winter kill, such as dead patches of grass or shriveled plants. You may need to reseed or replace any damaged areas to ensure that your yard looks its best come spring.

Next, it's time to clean up your yard. Remove any debris that has accumulated over the winter, such as branches, leaves, and other clutter. This will not only improve the appearance of your yard but also help prevent pests and diseases from taking hold.

Once your yard is clean, it's time to start thinking about planting. Spring is the perfect time to add new plants and flowers to your landscape. Consider adding some colorful annuals or perennials to brighten up your yard. Don't forget to also plant any vegetables or herbs you may want to grow this season.

In addition to planting, you'll also want to make sure that your lawn is getting the nutrients it needs to thrive. Consider aerating and fertilizing your lawn to promote healthy growth. A well-fed lawn will be better equipped to withstand the heat and drought of the summer months.

As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, you'll also want to start mowing your lawn regularly. Keeping your grass at the proper height will help prevent weeds from taking over and promote a lush, green lawn. Be sure to also water your lawn as needed, especially during dry spells.
