The transition from winter to spring is always a much anticipated one. Time to open the windows again, clean up clutter or debris that’s gathered over the dormant months, and a chance to start anew.
Prepping the outdoors for seasonal changes, when done properly, can help your lawn to flourish and boost your curb appeal. Heads will turn to admire the tall green grass and pretty flowers growing from your garden beds.
Here are some tips on things you can do outdoors before the warm weather starts for successful spring and summer seasons.
Getting your home sparkling clean and ready for spring will require some elbow grease – indoors and out. Polishing up worn or tattered siding and walkways, applying a coat of fresh paint and raking up leaves that have fallen will help tremendously in the appearance of your home. You may also want to rent or invest in a power washer. These high pressure hoses can deliver a strong water current - enough to lift dirt from many surfaces including concrete and siding.
As you’re cleaning up your property, don’t neglect the lawn. It’s likely in distress from the cold winter months and in need of some TLC. Since the recommendation is to fertilize before winter or in late summer, you’ll need to go a different route to spruce up your lawn if it’s not in great shape. Organic fertilization using compost and mulch is preferred to help give the grass a boost before growing season.
While you’re raking up leaves and aerating the soil to add fertilizer, don’t forget to also till garden beds. This will make it easier when the weather is warmer and save you time down the line since you’ll only need to add any new annual flowers or summer vegetables to complete your garden.
The best way to keep your lawn hydrated without having to dedicate lots of time and energy is to use a sprinkler system. With a variety of options it’s easy to set it one time and know your lawns will get the water they need to thrive at the optimal time of day. Timers can assist with watering at the most optimal times as well.
