Blog Seasonal Landscaping Tips: Maximizing Your Yard All Year Round with Prairie Landscape Nov 17, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your yard. At Prairie Landscape, we understand the importance of maintaining a beautiful and functional outdoor space all year round. With the right approach and a few simple tips, you can maximize your yard's potential no matter the season.

Spring is the perfect time to rejuvenate your yard after the long winter months. Start by cleaning up any debris, pruning shrubs and trees, and preparing the soil for planting. Consider adding fresh mulch to flower beds and around trees to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. This is also a great time to plant new flowers, shrubs, and trees to add color and texture to your landscape.

Summer brings warmer temperatures and increased time spent outdoors. To make the most of your yard during the summer months, focus on proper watering and maintenance. Regularly mow the lawn, trim bushes, and remove weeds to keep your yard looking neat and tidy. Consider adding hardscaping elements like a patio, deck, or fire pit to create a more functional outdoor living space.

Fall is a transitional season that requires special attention to prepare your yard for winter. Start by cleaning up any fallen leaves and debris to prevent them from smothering your lawn and plants. This is also a good time to aerate your lawn, overseed any bare spots, and fertilize to promote a healthy root system. Don't forget to trim back perennial plants and trees to promote new growth in the spring.

Winter may seem like a time to ignore your yard, but there are still ways to keep it looking its best. Consider adding evergreen trees and shrubs to provide year-round interest and structure. Keep walkways and driveways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents and damage. This is also a good time to plan for future landscaping projects and research new plants and design ideas.
