Spring brings warmer temperatures, beautiful blossoms, and greenery to your garden, but it’s overwhelming to deal with the wake of what winter left behind. Fortunately, by stocking up on the right garden supplies and starting early, you’ll enjoy a luscious and tidy yard this spring and summer. Here are a few tips for preparing your yard for the warmer season. 

Ways to Get Your Garden Ready for Spring and Summer

1. Clear the Way

While you cleaned up your yard in the fall, winter has a habit of creating even more damage. Reach for garden supplies like gloves and rakes, and remove any dead leaves that are scattered in your flowerbeds and nearby. Remove dead plants, prune or uproot dead trees to prepare the way for healthy living plants. 

2. Remove Garden Pests

Garden pests like snails, aphids, and slugs destroy beautiful gardens quickly. Look for garden supplies to remove these pests early, such as snail bait and sprays for trees to prevent aphids. If you suspect a significant infestation, turn to an exterminator for help. 

3. Check and Repair Irrigation

Your plants can’t live in an environment where they don’t receive enough water, so check your irrigation lines early. Clean sprinkler head filters by removing dirt and debris, and monitor your system for leaks to prevent marshy landscaping. Inspect irrigation water patterns and confirm every plant in your garden is receiving an adequate amount of water.
