As the seasons change, so should your landscaping routine in order to maintain a vibrant yard all year round. At Golden Isles Greenery, we understand the importance of keeping your outdoor space looking its best no matter the time of year. That's why we've put together these seasonal landscaping tips to help you achieve a lush and beautiful yard throughout the changing seasons.

Spring:

1. Clean Up: After the winter months, it's important to start the spring season with a thorough clean-up of your yard. Remove any debris, leaves, and dead plants to make way for new growth. 2. Prune and Trim: Trim back any overgrown shrubs or trees to encourage healthy growth. This is also a good time to prune any flowering plants to promote blooming. 3. Plant Flowers: Spring is the perfect time to plant annual flowers for a burst of color in your yard. Consider adding tulips, daffodils, or pansies for a pop of springtime beauty.

Summer:

1. Water Properly: With the warmer temperatures, it's important to water your lawn and plants regularly. Be sure to water deeply to encourage strong root growth. 2. Fertilize: Give your plants a boost with a balanced fertilizer to keep them healthy and blooming throughout the summer months. 3. Weed Control: Stay on top of weed control by pulling or spraying weeds as soon as they appear. This will help your plants thrive without competition for nutrients.

Fall:

1. Rake Leaves: Keep your lawn clear of fallen leaves by raking regularly. Leaves left on the grass can smother the turf and create bare spots. 2. Plant Bulbs: Fall is the time to plant bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths for a beautiful display come springtime. 3. Aerate and Overseed: Aerating your lawn and overseeding in the fall will help improve soil quality and fill in any bare areas for a lush lawn next year.

Winter:

1. Cut Back Perennials: Trim back any dead or overgrown perennials to prepare them for the cold winter months. 2. Protect Plants: Cover delicate plants with burlap or mulch to insulate them from freezing temperatures. 3. Plan Ahead: Use the winter months to plan for the upcoming spring season. Research new plants, layouts, or hardscaping projects for your yard.
