Seasonal Landscaping Tips for a Year-Round Beautiful Yard

A well-maintained landscape doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of strategic, seasonal care. From spring growth to winter prep, each season brings unique challenges and opportunities for improving the health and appearance of your lawn and landscape.

At Lawn Harmony Landscaping, we help homeowners and property managers across Central Ohio maintain vibrant, clean, and thriving outdoor spaces all year long. Whether you're aiming for curb appeal or long-term plant health, here are seasonal landscaping tips to keep your yard at its best.

🌱 Spring: Reset and Refresh

Spring is all about waking up your landscape after winter. It’s the perfect time to repair winter damage, prep garden beds, and encourage new growth.

Spring landscaping checklist:

• Remove fallen leaves, branches, and debris

• Freshen mulch beds and redefine edges

• Aerate the lawn to promote root growth

• Apply pre-emergent weed control

• Prune shrubs and ornamental grasses

• Schedule your mowing and maintenance plan

A strong spring start sets the foundation for a lush, low-maintenance yard throughout the summer.

☀️ Summer: Maintain and Monitor

During summer, your landscape needs consistent upkeep and a watchful eye for stress caused by heat and dryness. Routine maintenance is key to keeping things under control.

Summer maintenance tips:

• Mow weekly, keeping blades at the proper height

• Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation

• Trim hedges and overgrown plants

• Watch for signs of drought stress or pests

• Pressure wash driveways, walkways, and siding

Summer is also a great time to clean patios, reseal driveways, or schedule pressure washing for a clean and polished exterior.

🍁 Fall: Prepare and Protect

Fall is a crucial season for preparing your lawn and landscape for colder months. This is the time to remove debris, strengthen root systems, and apply treatments that will protect your plants through winter.

Fall landscape prep includes:

• Full leaf removal and yard cleanup

• Final mow and bed edging

• Apply winterizing fertilizer

• Cut back perennials and ornamental grasses

• Gutter cleaning and final debris haul-off

• Sealcoating and striping before cold temps hit

Fall cleanup not only enhances appearance but ensures a smoother transition into spring.

❄️ Winter: Plan and Protect Structures

While active maintenance slows down in winter, your landscape still benefits from protection and planning.

Winter landscaping reminders:

• Keep driveways and sidewalks clear of snow and ice

• Protect shrubs with burlap in exposed areas

• Use pet-safe, plant-friendly ice melt

• Begin planning next year’s upgrades or installs

• Schedule early spring mulch or aeration services

Winter is also a great time to get on our early-bird schedule for the coming season.
