Remove Debris

The first step to preparing your lawn for the Spring is to clean up any debris such as excess leaves, twigs, branches, and any other yard waste that may have accumulated over the winter. This creates a clean start for the growing season.

Clean Your Gutters

Dealing with your gutters might seem like a strange way to prepare your lawn for spring, but trust us! Leaves and debris can clog your gutters and prevent them from draining properly, leaving wet patches in your yard and around the foundation of your home. When you clean your gutters, you may discover problems like drainage issues and insect infestations which can also affect your lawn and home in the spring when there is more rain and bugs become more active.

Trim Your Trees

Dead branches will eventually break. When this happens, they can damage your property or cause a major injury. During winter, it is easier to see the condition of your tree branches because the leaves have not come out yet. Ideally, you should have a tree trimmer do a safety check of your tree branches at least once every three years.

Get Rid of Pest Problems

As the weather warms up, insects will start reproducing. A small infestation can quickly spiral out of control if you let it grow unchecked. With eco-friendly pest solutions, Arkadia can help you get rid of pest-related issues. Whether you need us to fumigate your home for termites or protect your yard from mosquitoes and ticks, we can help.

Fertilize Your Lawn and Garden

If you want a gorgeous lawn, you should apply fertilizer during late winter/early spring. Then, you need to reapply the same fertilizer about six to eight weeks later. Spring is a great time for mulching your garden beds as well. A good mulch will help you prevent weeds, and moisture from being lost during the heat of the daytime.

Plant Your Spring Containers and Beds

During springtime, you can finally get your garden planted. Some flowers prefer being planted in early spring, and other flowers prefer late spring. Once you know when to plant your flowers, you can start creating your spring containers and flower beds.

Power Wash Your Home and Sidewalks

Power washing is an excellent way to prevent costly repairs. It also boosts the curbside appeal of your home. When you power wash your property, you can remove dust, mold, bird excrement, tree sap, mildew, and allergens.
