Spring: Spring is the perfect time to start preparing your garden for the warmer months ahead. Begin by cleaning up any debris left over from winter, such as fallen leaves and branches. Trim back any dead or damaged branches on your trees and shrubs to encourage new growth. Consider adding a fresh layer of mulch around your flower beds to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth. It is also a good idea to start feeding your lawn with a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
Summer: During the summer months, it is essential to keep up with regular watering to ensure that your plants stay hydrated in the heat. Consider installing a drip irrigation system to efficiently water your garden without wasting any water. Be sure to deadhead flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and remove any weeds that may have popped up. Dunn-Rite Landscaping can also help with regular maintenance tasks such as mowing, edging, and trimming to keep your garden looking pristine.
Fall: As the temperatures start to cool down, it is time to start preparing your garden for the winter months. Rake up any fallen leaves and add them to your compost pile or use them as mulch. Plant fall-blooming flowers such as mums to add color to your garden as other plants start to fade. It is also a good time to aerate your lawn and overseed any bare patches to ensure a lush lawn in the spring. Dunn-Rite Landscaping can help with fall clean-up tasks such as leaf removal and tree pruning.
Winter: Although your garden may look dormant in the winter, there are still maintenance tasks that can be done to prepare for the next growing season. Consider pruning trees and shrubs while they are dormant to promote healthy growth in the spring. Apply a layer of mulch around plants to help insulate the roots from the cold temperatures. Dunn-Rite Landscaping can also help with winter landscaping services such as snow removal and hardscaping maintenance to keep your outdoor space looking its best.
