When spring arrives, you want to make sure that your lawn looks bright, fresh, and clean like the rest of your home. It’s time to get outside, enjoy the warmer weather, and clean up your yard. These spring cleaning tips for your lawn will help it look its best this season and all throughout the year.Kansas City Custom Lawn and Landscaping Tree Pruning

Take Care of Pruning

If you didn’t take care of pruning last fall, it’s important to take care of pruning early in the season to ensure that you’ll get plenty of healthy growth throughout the warm months. Not only that, pruning early gives you more control over where trees and shrubs will grow. Be careful not to prune any varieties that bloom on new spring wood or you may accidentally limit your spring flower show.

Don’t Let Those Leaves Linger

If you have any leaves lingering from fall, it’s time to make them disappear. Fallen leaves aren’t just an eyesore as you move into spring. If they’re still hanging around, they can kill your grass before it’s able to grow! Turn those leaves into mulch, or bag them up and get rid of them as soon as possible.

Mulch is the finishing touch for your flower beds and gardens! A solid layer of mulch can help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. Start early in the spring and your yard will look its best all season long.

    Sean O’D took over the lawn care for my yard last year. It was in poor to mediocre shape with wild violets and bare spots.

I’m very pleased.
