For many homeowners, spring is the time of year your yard looks its best. Blooming flowers and new green growth bring color and cheer to the landscaping. To get the most beautiful results and the healthiest plant growth, follow these steps from cleanup to tree pruning to prepare your yard.

How to Make Your Yard Bloom in Spring

1. Clean Up

Between any fallen leaves left over from autumn and winter's broken twigs and dead plants, there may be debris in your yard from the past few months. Clear out anything dead or unwanted from the yard. Cleanup should be an ongoing project, especially after shrub and tree pruning.

2. Schedule Tree Pruning

Yearly tree pruning helps your trees develop into healthy and attractive shapes. It also helps heal any damage to the tree from winter weather and removes dead branches that might become a hazard later.

If you have fruit trees, yearly pruning encourages them to produce more fruit. You should schedule this tree service in late winter or early spring before the trees start to blossom.

3. Fertilize, Mulch, & Water

Lay down fresh mulch to replace any that may have deteriorated due to the weather; this helps protect plant roots and hold in moisture as the weather gets warmer. Water generously once there's no risk of frost. For areas like your lawn where you want green, leafy growth, apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, and for flowering plants, pick a formula with lots of phosphorus.
