BLOG The Essential Seasonal Maintenance Guide for Your Piedmont Landscape May 01, 2024

As the seasons change, it's important to adjust your lawn and landscaping maintenance routines to ensure your Piedmont landscape remains healthy and vibrant all year round. At Piedmont Lawn and Landscaping, we understand the unique needs of North Carolina landscapes and have put together this essential seasonal maintenance guide to help you keep your outdoor space looking its best.

Spring

As the weather warms up and your plants start to come back to life, it's time to kick off the year with some spring maintenance tasks. Start by cleaning up any debris that has accumulated over the winter, such as fallen leaves or branches. Prune any dead or damaged branches from your trees and shrubs, and make sure to fertilize your lawn to promote healthy growth. Spring is also a great time to aerate your lawn and reseed any patchy areas.

Summer

With the hot temperatures of summer in full swing, it's important to adjust your lawn care routine accordingly. Make sure to water your plants and grass deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Regularly mow your lawn to keep it looking tidy, and keep an eye out for signs of pests or disease. Applying a layer of mulch around your plants can help retain moisture and suppress weeds during the heat of summer.

Fall

As the leaves start to change color and the temperatures drop, it's time to prepare your landscape for the winter ahead. Rake up any fallen leaves and debris to prevent them from smothering your lawn. Continue to mow your grass until it stops growing, and apply a fall fertilizer to help your lawn withstand the cold weather. This is also a good time to plant new trees or shrubs, as the cooler temperatures give them a chance to establish their roots before winter arrives.

Winter

During the cold winter months, your landscaping tasks may slow down, but there are still things you can do to maintain your outdoor space. Make sure to keep pathways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents, and continue to remove any fallen branches or debris that could cause damage to your plants. Consider adding some winter interest to your landscape with evergreen plants or seasonal decorations to brighten up your yard during the dreary winter months.
