Spring Landscaping Tips for a Greener Neighborhood

12 Jan 2025

As the weather warms up and the days grow longer, spring is the perfect time to give your yard a little attention and help our neighborhood look its best. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, a few simple changes can make a big difference in your curb appeal—and support our community's shared goals for a clean, welcoming environment.

Start by clearing away any fallen leaves, twigs, and debris left over from the winter months. A clean lawn instantly looks more inviting and gives you a fresh canvas for planting. Consider refreshing your mulch—it not only makes flower beds look tidy but also helps retain soil moisture and control weeds as the temperatures rise.

If you're adding new plants, choose native or drought-resistant options when possible. These plants require less water and care, making them a smart and eco-friendly choice. Flowers like black-eyed susans or coneflowers thrive in many climates and add vibrant color to your yard with minimal effort.

Finally, take a moment to edge your lawn, trim any overgrown bushes, and inspect your irrigation system if you have one. Small maintenance tasks like these go a long way toward creating a neat, well-kept appearance that benefits the whole community.
