A Homeowner’s Year-Round Landscaping Checklist

Landscaping is a year-round responsibility, not just a springtime chore. Each season affects your yard differently, and knowing what to do keeps your lawn, plants, and outdoor spaces thriving.

At W5LC Landscape, we’ve created a landscaping checklist that makes it easy for homeowners to stay on track.

Spring: Refresh and Revive

• Clear winter debris and trim shrubs.
• Add mulch to flower beds for moisture retention.
• Install sod for an instantly green lawn.
• Plant hardy flowers and shrubs to add color.

Summer: Protect and Maintain

• Water early mornings to prevent evaporation.
• Add turf for low-maintenance greenery.
• Trim shrubs to reduce heat stress.
• Create shaded spaces with pergolas or patios.

Fall: Strengthen and Prepare

• Aerate and fertilize the lawn to improve root systems.
• Plant trees and shrubs in cooler weather.
• Refresh mulch and remove fallen leaves.
• Install hardscapes like patios or walkways.

Winter: Maintain and Plan

• Protect sensitive plants from freezing.
• Inspect retaining walls and patios for damage.
• Handle storm debris promptly.
• Plan new projects for spring.
