Step-by-Step Spring Garden Cleanup
1. Remove Winter Debris
Start by clearing away fallen leaves, broken branches, and other debris that accumulated over the winter. This helps prevent mold and pests while allowing fresh air and sunlight to reach the soil.
2. Cut Back Plants
Trim back perennials and ornamental grasses that weren’t cut back in the fall and remove any dead or damaged branches from shrubs and trees.
3. Weed Early
Spring is the best time to get ahead of weeds before they take over your garden. Pull them by hand or use a natural weed control method to prevent competition with your plants. Additionally, consider applying a pre-emergent herbicide early in the season to help prevent weed seeds from germinating and taking root.
4. Refresh Mulch
A fresh layer of mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. Spread 2-3 inches of mulch in landscape beds for the best results.
5. Fertilize for a Healthy Start
Give your lawn and garden a boost with organic compost or a slow-release fertilizer. This provides essential nutrients for lush, healthy growth throughout the season.
6. Plant New Additions
Spring is the perfect time to introduce new plants to your garden. Stop by Knapp Valley to find the perfect additions that will bring new life to your outdoor space.
