The Ultimate Spring Cleanup Checklist: Get Your Yard Ready for the Warmer Months

Spring is the season of renewal—and that includes your yard! After months of cold weather, your landscape likely needs some TLC before it can flourish again. Whether you’re planning new plantings, refreshing your lawn, or maintaining hardscapes, getting started early will set your yard up for success.

At Evolution Outdoor Living, we’ve put together the ultimate spring cleanup checklist to help you get your outdoor space looking its best.

Winter can leave behind a mess of leaves, fallen branches, and debris. Start your cleanup by:

• Raking up any leftover leaves from fall.
• Removing sticks, twigs, and winter-killed plants.
• Checking garden beds and lawn edges for excess debris.

This simple step helps prevent mold, pests, and disease from affecting your yard’s health.

2. Prune Trees and Shrubs

Early spring is the best time to prune certain trees and shrubs before they start growing again. Trimming:

• Encourages healthy growth.
• Removes damaged or dead branches.
• Shapes plants for a neater look.

Not sure which plants to prune? Evolution Outdoor Living can help with professional trimming and landscape care.

3. Refresh Garden Beds with Mulch

Mulching isn’t just about aesthetics—it also:

• Protects plant roots from fluctuating temperatures.
• Retains moisture and prevents soil erosion.
• Suppresses weeds before they take over.

A fresh layer of mulch in early spring keeps your landscape looking vibrant and healthy!

4. Lawn Care: Aerate, Overseed & Fertilize

For a lush, green lawn, spring maintenance is essential:

• Aeration: Loosens compacted soil and improves water absorption.
• Overseeding: Fills in bare spots for even grass coverage.
• Fertilizing: Provides essential nutrients to jumpstart healthy growth.

The sooner you start, the better your lawn will look all season long!

5. Inspect & Maintain Hardscapes

Winter can take a toll on patios, walkways, retaining walls, and decks. Check your hardscapes for:

• Cracks in concrete or pavers.
• Loose stones or shifting retaining walls.
• Dirt, mold, or stains that need power washing.

If repairs or upgrades are needed, Evolution Outdoor Living can restore and enhance your hardscaping features in time for spring.

6. Plan for New Landscaping or Outdoor Features

Spring is the perfect time to add new elements to your yard. Consider:

🌿 Planting new flowers, shrubs, or trees.
🔥 Installing a fire pit for cozy outdoor evenings.
🏡 Designing a new patio or pergola for summer entertaining.

Early planning means more availability and better results!
