A Year-Round Landscaping Checklist for Homeowners

Landscaping isn’t a one-and-done job — each season brings unique challenges for your yard. Staying on top of tasks year-round keeps your lawn, plants, and hardscapes looking great while preventing costly repairs.

At W5LC Landscape, we’ve put together a simple landscaping checklist to guide homeowners through each season.

Spring: Refresh & Plant

• Remove winter debris and trim shrubs.
• Add mulch to garden beds.
• Install sod for a healthy summer lawn.
• Plant hardy flowers and shrubs.

Summer: Protect from Heat

• Water early mornings to reduce evaporation.
• Install turf for low-maintenance greenery.
• Add shade with pergolas or trees.
• Keep shrubs trimmed to reduce stress.

Fall: Strengthen & Prepare

• Aerate and fertilize your lawn.
• Refresh mulch and clear leaves.
• Plant trees and shrubs while temps are cooler.
• Plan patio or walkway projects.

Winter: Maintain & Plan Ahead

• Protect plants from freezes.
• Inspect patios and retaining walls.
