Starting Fresh for Spring
A thorough spring clean-up sets the stage for a healthy and vibrant yard. Consider these essential spring tasks in preparing your yard this spring:
- Trim and Prune: Cutting back shrubs, deadheading perennials, and trimming low tree branches that could become problematic helps keep plants healthy and encourages new growth.
- Clear Debris: Removing fallen leaves and organic debris that have accumulated over the winter ensures the landscape remains tidy while preventing unwanted pests and disease.
- Mow Smart: Beginning the season with a short mow promotes strong and even grass growth, giving the lawn a fresh start.
- Lawn Care: Composting and overseeding provide vital nutrients to the soil while helping to fill in thin areas, ensuring a lush and vibrant lawn throughout the year
- Water Early: If spring starts dry, watering the lawn and plant materials can significantly improve their health and growth, keeping the landscape hydrated and thriving.
Enhancing Your Outdoor Space
For those looking to boost curb appeal and increase your outdoor functionality, Fisher Landscaping recommends the following enhancements:
- Mulch Topdressing: A fresh layer of mulch not only boosts curb appeal but also helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds, keeping plants healthier
- Updated Edging: Installing a paver or concrete curbing can give the landscape a polished, modern look, helping to seamlessly define planting areas and pathways.
- New Plantings: Introducing flowering trees, shrubs, and perennials can refresh a yard by adding vibrant colors, seasonal interest, and an inviting atmosphere.
- Hardscaping Features: Adding paver patios, walkways, and driveways enhances both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces, creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and entertainment.
- Outdoor Living Spaces: Homeowners can take full advantage of Colorado’s beautiful seasons by incorporating pergolas, outdoor kitchens, water features, and fire pits to your yard, turning any backyard into a comfortable retreat for friends and family.
- Outdoor Lighting: Strategically placed lighting, such as pathway illumination and accent lighting, enhances ambiance, safety, and usability, allowing outdoor spaces to be enjoyed well into the warm evening hours.
