Spring has finally arrived in the Treasure Valley and we are feeling it more than ever. Bright and warm days, birds and insects returning, and noticing our yard is looking weary from winter are a few signs the new season has arrived. Here are 10 things needing to be done to prepare your landscape for spring.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
1.) Rake and Remove Debris from your Lawn
Check your grass for leaves, tumbleweeds, sticks, and even trash. Removing this debris will keep your lawn from becoming matted and eventually dying.
2.) Check Sprinkler System
Test your sprinkler system before the heat hits soon. Notice your system is not functioning at full capacity, having issues, or want a more efficient layout? Give us a call at (208) 204- 1311. We are very experienced with sprinkler installation and repair and can come give you a quick FREE quote!
3.) Aerate
When your lawn is compacted, it will slowly suffer from not accessing enough water, air, and nutrients at the roots. A quick aeration every few years will help keep your grass healthy and green.
4.) Pre-Emergent and Fertilize Grass
Did weeds take over your lawn last year? Get a head start on them this year by applying a pre-emergent to stop the weeds before they appear. Then, apply a fertilizer for your grass. Follow the instructions on your pre-emergent and fertilizer for application tips, guidelines, and timelines.
5.) Add Seed as Needed
Noticing some sparse, bare, or even dead spots on your lawn? Apply grass seed to fill in your lawn before the summer temperatures hit.
6.) Test and Tune Lawn Mower
Before your grass becomes a jungle, test and service your mower. It will run smoother and will last many more seasons to come.
7). Clean Flower Beds and Mulch
Remove any debris and weeds from your beds and level your soil to make sure your plants are being watered properly. Then apply a layer of mulch to aid in moisture retention and weed suppression, lending to a healthier soil and landscaping plants.
8). Trim Perennials
Looking over your perennials for dead branches and removing them this spring will encourage new, healthy growth and look cleaner.
9). Brainstorm Landscaping Ideas to Improve Yard Appeal
What are you wanting from your yard this year? A fuller, more lush landscape with perennials or trees? What about a concrete back patio for your barbeques with friends and family? Or maybe even leveling up your yard with a eye-catching water feature or sports court to tie everything together? Try thinking about what you missed out on last year.
