As spring approaches, it's a great time to prepare your lawn and landscape in Alabama for the new growing season. To give your grass a fresh start, consider mowing your lawn. And to add a touch of beauty to your outdoor space, why not reshape your landscape beds? By trimming your plants, you'll help spruce up their shape so they're manicured. Lastly, don't forget to remove any debris from your yard and refresh your mulch to protect your plants and give your landscape beds a refined look.

1. Lawn Mowing

To kick off the spring, you should mow your lawn. While your grass may be a little longer than usual due to not having been cut since the fall, it's important to not take too much off at once. That's because if you remove too much of the grass at one time, you could cause stress on your lawn, which makes it more susceptible to issues like diseases or insect infestations. Keeping your grass at the correct height by following the 1/3 rule can help restore your turf's pristine look and get it ready for the new growing season!

2. Landscape Bed Reshaping

Reshaping your landscape beds is another must-do service to perform in the spring. This task involves cutting new edges to redefine their shape. Not only does this make them look neater, but it also clearly separates them from the lawn. Reshaping your landscape beds in the spring gives them a fresh and cleaner appearance, which adds to the visual interest of your property as well.

You can install spring annuals in your landscape beds to add a pop of color to your property!

3. Plant Trimming

Another essential spring maintenance task is plant trimming. The primary benefit of trimming them is that they look neat and manicured throughout the growing season. However, another reason why you want to trim your trees and shrubs in the spring is that it promotes fuller and bushier growth. Trimming encourages the tree or shrub to produce stronger, denser shoots. A second advantage of trimming your plants is that it allows for better sunlight penetration into the canopy area. When leaves and other branches block light from reaching your plants, it hinders leaf production and weakens overall health.

4. Debris Removal

Picking up debris from your property is an important springtime maintenance task. Debris can accumulate in various forms, such as dead leaves, sticks, twigs, and pine needles. If left unattended, it can make your property look unkempt and uninviting. By removing debris from your yard, you can significantly enhance your curb appeal. Not only does it make your property look cleaner, but it also reduces the risk of pests that may be attracted to the debris.

5. Mulch Installation

Mulch is an integral part of maintaining the health and aesthetics of your landscape, making spring a great time to install it. It serves multiple purposes, including combating soil erosion, retaining moisture, suppressing weeds, and regulating soil temperature. Because mulch breaks down over time, replenishing it regularly is necessary to maintain its effectiveness. Spring is the ideal time to refresh mulch because it protects your plants from extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions of the approaching summer. Mulch also provides color contrast for the emergence of new growth in flowers and plants, enhancing the vibrancy and beauty of your landscape.
