BLOG Seasonal Splendor: How to Keep Your Landscape Vibrant All Year Round Aug 02, 2024

As the seasons change, so does the landscape surrounding your home. It's important to take the necessary steps to ensure that your outdoor space remains vibrant and beautiful all year round. At Natural Landscaping, we understand the importance of maintaining a stunning landscape regardless of the season. Here are some tips on how you can keep your landscape looking its best throughout the year.

Spring: Spring is a time of renewal and growth in the garden. This is the perfect time to plant perennial flowers, shrubs, and trees. Be sure to check your soil's pH levels and amend it as needed to provide the best growing conditions for your plants. You can also add mulch to your flower beds to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Spring is also a great time to start your vegetable garden and keep it well-watered and weeded.

Summer: In the summer months, your landscape will be in full bloom. Keep your lawn well-watered and mowed regularly to maintain its lush green appearance. Trim any overgrown shrubs or trees to keep them neat and tidy. Consider adding a water feature or small pond to your garden to attract wildlife and create a relaxing atmosphere. Don't forget to fertilize your plants to keep them healthy and thriving throughout the season.

Fall: As the temperatures begin to cool, it's time to prepare your landscape for the winter months. Clean up fallen leaves and debris from your lawn and garden beds. Plant fall-blooming flowers such as mums and asters to add a pop of color to your outdoor space. Consider planting bulbs in the fall for a beautiful display of spring flowers. It's also a good idea to aerate your lawn and reseed any bare patches to ensure a healthy lawn next year.

Winter: Winter can be a challenging time for your landscape, but there are still ways to keep it looking its best. Consider planting evergreen shrubs and trees to provide year-round interest and structure to your garden. Add bird feeders and houses to attract wildlife and bring life to your winter garden. Keep pathways clear of snow and ice to ensure safe access to your home. Consider adding outdoor lighting to highlight key features of your landscape and create a welcoming atmosphere.
