Blog Seasonal Landscaping Tips: Prepping Your Garden for Spring with Team Tolson Feb 29, 2024

As the winter fades away and the first signs of spring appear, it is time to start preparing your garden for the upcoming season. At Team Tolson Landscape, we understand the importance of proper seasonal landscaping, so we have put together some helpful tips to help you get your garden ready for the spring bloom.

1. Clean Up and Clear Out: The first step in prepping your garden for spring is to clean up any debris from the winter months. Remove fallen leaves, branches, and any dead plants to make way for new growth. Also, be sure to rake up any thatch and aerate the soil to improve drainage and air circulation.

2. Pruning and Trimming: Spring is the perfect time to prune your trees, shrubs, and bushes to encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plants as needed. Be sure to also trim back any overgrown hedges to give your garden a tidy appearance.

3. Soil Preparation: Before planting new flowers or vegetables, be sure to prepare the soil properly. Test the pH levels and add any necessary amendments to ensure your plants have the nutrients they need to thrive. Consider adding a layer of compost or mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

4. Planting and Mulching: Once the soil is prepped, it's time to start planting your spring garden. Choose flowers and shrubs that are suitable for your climate and soil type. After planting, be sure to add a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

5. Irrigation and Maintenance: As the weather warms up, be sure to check your irrigation system and make any necessary repairs or adjustments. Proper watering is essential for the health of your plants, so be sure to water deeply and consistently. Also, be on the lookout for pests and diseases and take action to protect your garden.
