Spring Clean-Up Routine

How Do You Prepare Your Garden for The Season?

Raking

How Do You Know That Your Lawn Is Ready to Rake?

  • There is a layer of thatch about ½ inch thick covering your lawn, or matted patches of grass.

Why Is It Necessary to Rake?

  • Raking is essential for healthy air flow for your plants.
  • Helps to get rid of pests that may be present in the dead leaves and grass.

Aerating Your Lawn

When Should You Aerate?

  • There are thick layers of thatch on your lawn.
  • Your yard gets used excessively.

What Does Aerating Do?

  • Loosens the soil, offers room for the roots to grow, and provides your plants with more nutrients, water, and air.

Fertilizing in Spring

How Do You Fertilize?

  • Test the soil to see how balanced it is and determine what type of fertilizers are required.
  • Add some to your lawn, trees, and perennials to ensure they have adequate nutrients.
  • Prepare your garden beds by mixing up mulch, but do not cover the ground too early.
  • Add compost to the soil if desired.

Cleaning Up

How Do You Properly Clean for Spring?

  • Pull emerging weeds.
  • Cut back and carefully prune perennials.
  • Get rid of grasses not done in fall.

Water Supply & Irrigation System

What Is the Best Way to Water Your Lawn and Garden?

  • Turn on the water supply or the irrigation system.
  • Make sure that your lawn, plants, and trees receive adequate water.
  • Ensure nothing becomes waterlogged.

Gardening Care

What Extra Steps Should You Take to Help Your Garden?

  • Check your garden features such as trellis and pergolas for any damage and fix accordingly.
  • Put up cages or support stakes such as peony rings, where required.
  • Divide perennials if needed, space them adequately, and give them enough area to prevent crowding.
  • Re-edge garden beds for an even and tidy outlook.

Planting
