Landscaping during the early months of spring is an easy way to enhance curb appeal. It allows greenery to flourish and introduces a selection of colors that naturally complement your home. In honor of Lawn and Garden Month in April, here is a guide you can follow to ensure your lawn and garden receive the care they deserve.

3 Ideas for Springtime Landscaping 

1. Plant a Garden

Gardens tend to become overgrown after months of neglect, which can detract from your curb appeal. Spruce up their appearance by raking out piles of leaves and trimming back the greenery. Pull out any weeds that are beginning to make an appearance and put down a couple inches of compost or mulch. This will prevent any unwanted growth from taking root and will give your gardens a clean, well-kept look.

2. Reseed the Lawn

Brown patches are common after a long winter, but caring for them as the weather warms up is the best way to boost your property’s appearance. Rejuvenate the roots by running an aerator over the surface of the grass. Spread a generous amount of seed and water until the soil is sufficiently soaked. You should create a regular watering schedule throughout the following weeks so that the roots can regain their strength and begin producing thick blades of grass.

3. Introduce New Plants

If you’re thinking about incorporating new types of greenery into your current landscaping, try doing it now. The sun isn’t quite as hot this early in the spring, which eliminates the danger of scorching. It will also allow time for the new species to acclimate to their surroundings and encourage strong root growth.
