Prepping Your Lawn and Garden for the Arrival of Spring
A new season is almost here, and along with it comes warmer weather and longer days, which means you will be spending more time outdoors. Unfortunately, the harsh autumn and winter months will take a toll on your lawn and garden, so you need to take steps to prepare your garden for the spring. This is where a professional landscaping contractor such as Ground Pursuits can help you choose the best layout for your yard so that you can enjoy every inch of your space. These tips will also help you prepare these areas.
Begin With a Good Cleanup
Chances are you will still have some winter remnants in your garden, so take some time to clean these up to ensure you are dealing with a clean space. Rake up all the dead leaves and remove limbs and sticks, so they are not in your way when it comes time to start working on your lawn and garden. In the winter months, you may start to see some weed growth. Remove these and then treat these areas for weeds when deemed necessary.
Level Out an Uneven Yard
Have you noticed some bare spots around your yard? These are likely lower than the rest of the garden, which means more water is draining there. This will effectively drown your grass and result in bare patches. Putting down a fresh layer of topsoil will work wonders on small holes and give you an even surface before planting your grass seed.
If you have drainage issues, standing water, or deep holes and ruts in your garden, it is time to call a professional landscaper, as they can safely level things out while offering solutions to prevent more damage from being done.
