Frequently Asked Questions
Unsure of how to handle your garden across the different seasons? Here are some questions you may need answers to.
How do seasonal changes affect landscaping maintenance?
Seasonal changes influence the kind of landscaping maintenance work your yard needs most. Changes in temperature or weather can affect how well your plants grow, your yard's soil conditions and moisture levels, and your landscaping maintenance needs to align with these seasonal changes to keep your garden thriving. Here's what your landscaping maintenance plan might look like throughout the year:
-
Spring: Rake away any leaves and branches from winter, loosen up compacted soil, edge your planting beds, apply fresh mulch, prune any winter-damaged plants and start mowing again once the grass starts growing.
-
Summer: Water everything in the early morning, adjust your irrigation around the rainfall, mow at a height that keeps the soil shaded, remove weeds before they seed and check your plants for discoloration, wilting or pest damage.
-
Fall: Rake up leaves regularly, aerate and overseed your lawn, remove dead plants, divide or cut back perennials and apply mulch around the plants to insulate their roots.
-
Winter: Cover sensitive plants during freezing weather, add more mulch where roots need to be protected, clear debris after storms and identify drainage or hardscaping projects to complete in spring.
How is winter landscaping different from summer landscaping?
Winter landscaping is different from summer landscaping as it focuses on protecting your garden and getting it ready for spring, while summer landscaping is all about active growth. Summer care usually includes mowing, watering, weeding and checking plant health during hot weather. In winter, the focus shifts to pruning trees and shrubs, clearing up debris, protecting plants from the cold and checking the landscape after snow, ice or strong winds. The exact tasks will depend on your plants and property conditions.
Do I need landscaping services in the winter?
Yes, winter landscaping services can help protect your plants and your property and keep outdoor areas manageable. Even though lawns and many plants will grow more slowly in winter, your yard may still need storm cleanup, pruning of some plants and general property care. Winter is also a great time to assess your garden's drainage and plan your new plantings. Rooted in Nature can tailor seasonal care to your specific needs.
What's included in a fall cleanup service?
A fall cleanup service usually includes removing leaves and other debris, and tidying your lawn and planting beds. Depending on your yard, it may also cover cutting back perennial plants, doing a final prune and mow, edging your beds and refreshing mulch. Landscaping crews may also provide plant protection services in fall, although they might fall outside of a “cleanup” service.
