Spring is finally here and it's time to get your outdoor space ready for the season! That’s why we brought you a quick Spring Yard Cleanup Checklist to help you organize your lawncare schedule!

Below are a few things you should consider doing:

1. Prune away dead and damaged branches.

2. Cut back and divide perennials as needed.

3. Clean up around plants.

4. Prep damaged lawn areas for spring seeding.

5. Neaten up hardscape surfaces.

To make things even easier, we've included some tips and tricks for each task on our checklist.

Pruning away dead and damaged branches is essential for promoting healthy growth in your trees and shrubs. Cutting back and dividing perennials is also important to make sure your beds don't become overcrowded.

Cleaning up around plants involves raking out fallen leaves and dead foliage, pulling up spent annuals, and tossing them in a wheelbarrow with other organic yard waste. You should also spread a pelletized fertilizer tailored to your existing plantings on the soil's surface, so spring rains can carry it to the roots.

Prepping damaged lawn areas for spring seeding involves removing turf damaged by salt, plows, or disease to prepare for the seeding that should follow in a few weeks.

Neatening up hardscape surfaces involves raking escaped gravel back into aggregate walkways and patios, refilling joints between flagstones by sweeping in new sand or stone dust, and using a pressure washer with a low-pressure tip to remove slippery algae spots or leaf stains from patios and walkways.

If the thought of doing it all by yourself is overwhelming, don't worry! We're here to simplify everything. Contact us today at 214-566-8101 and allow us to handle your Spring Yard Cleanup!
