Maintaining your landscape isn’t just about keeping things tidy — it’s about supporting the long-term health and beauty of your outdoor space. Seasonal landscape maintenance ensures your garden, lawn, and plants are prepared for the weather changes throughout the year. Whether you’re a homeowner or property manager, staying on top of seasonal tasks can save you time, money, and effort in the long run.
Spring: Refresh and Rejuvenate
Spring is all about new growth. After a long winter, your landscape needs a fresh start. Key tasks include:
- Cleaning up debris and fallen branches
- Pruning shrubs and trees
- Applying fresh mulch
- Fertilizing plants and lawn
- Planting new flowers and garden beds
Regular spring maintenance sets the foundation for a healthy growing season.
Summer: Monitor and Maintain
Summer is peak growing season — and your landscape needs regular attention to stay vibrant.
- Mow lawns regularly
- Water deeply and consistently
- Watch for pests and diseases
- Deadhead flowers to promote continued blooming
- Trim overgrown shrubs
Staying proactive during summer helps prevent problems before they get out of control.
Fall: Prepare for Dormancy
Fall is the time to wind things down while preparing for winter.
- Rake and remove leaves
- Cut back perennials
- Aerate the lawn
- Plant fall bulbs for spring blooms
- Clean up garden beds
This preparation helps your landscape enter winter in strong condition, reducing winter damage.
Winter: Protect and Plan
While winter may be quiet, it’s not maintenance-free.
- Protect sensitive plants from frost
- Prune dormant trees and shrubs
- Check hardscapes for cracks or weather damage
- Start planning for spring projects
Winter is also a great time to reflect on what worked — and what didn’t — in your landscape design.
Why Seasonal Maintenance Matters
Consistent seasonal care leads to:
- Healthier plants and soil
- Better curb appeal
- Fewer pests and diseases
- Reduced long-term costs
- Increased property value
Landscape maintenance is an investment in the beauty, functionality, and value of your outdoor space — all year round.
