Blog Seasonal Yard Care Essentials: DLS Landscaping's Guide to Year-Round Vitality Oct 16, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your yard. Maintaining a healthy and vibrant outdoor space requires attention and care throughout the year. At DLS Landscaping, we understand the importance of year-round yard care, which is why we have put together this guide to help you keep your landscape in peak condition no matter the season.

Spring:

Spring is a time of renewal and growth for your yard. It is essential to start the season off right by cleaning up any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Raking leaves, pruning trees and shrubs, and removing any dead plants will help promote new growth. This is also a great time to apply fertilizer to your lawn and flower beds to give them the nutrients they need to thrive.

Summer:

Summer is the time when your yard is in full bloom, but it also brings challenges such as heat and dry weather. To keep your yard looking its best, regular watering is key. Be sure to water early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid evaporation. Mulching around trees and plants will help retain moisture and keep roots cool. Regular mowing and weeding are also important to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.

Fall:

As the temperatures begin to drop, it is time to prepare your yard for the winter months ahead. Raking leaves and aerating your lawn will help prevent suffocation and promote healthy growth in the spring. Fall is also a good time to plant new trees, shrubs, and bulbs so they have time to establish roots before winter sets in. Be sure to clean out your gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage.

Winter:

Although your yard may be covered in snow, there are still ways to care for it during the winter months. Keep pathways clear of snow and ice to prevent slips and falls. Avoid using salt on your sidewalks and driveway as it can harm plants and grass. Consider planting winter-friendly plants such as evergreens and berries to add color and interest to your landscape.
