Spring Landscape Checklist

Spring is right around the corner, and with this winter being milder and drier than usual, it’s the perfect time to get a head start on refreshing your landscape. Early prep now sets the stage for healthier plants, cleaner beds, and a great-looking yard all season long. Use this spring checklist to make sure nothing gets overlooked.

Spring Clean-Up Essentials

Start by clearing away what winter left behind so new growth can shine.

  • Remove winter debris, fallen leaves, and broken branches

  • Cut back perennials and ornamental grasses to encourage strong regrowth

  • Prune shrubs and trees to improve structure, health, and appearance

  • Edge landscape beds for clean lines and a polished look

Lawn & Bed Care

A little early-season care goes a long way toward preventing issues later.

  • Apply fertilizer to lawns and landscape beds to jump-start growth

  • Apply pre-emergent to help prevent weeds before they take hold

  • Top-dress beds with fresh mulch

    • Keep mulch thin, about 2 inches

    • No mulch volcanoes

    • Never pile mulch against tree trunks

Planting & Enhancements

Spring is ideal for adding new life and color to your outdoor space.

  • Refresh containers with seasonal spring planters

  • Add trees and shrubs to invest in long-term landscape growth

  • Fill beds with cool-season flowers and vegetables
