Seasonal Landscaping Tips Every Homeowner Should Know

Texas weather has a mind of its own — scorching summers, unpredictable storms, and cool winters. Each season affects your landscape differently, and if you don’t adjust your care routine, your yard can quickly lose its health and beauty.

At W5LC Landscape, we help homeowners keep their outdoor spaces thriving year-round. Here are some seasonal tips every homeowner should know.

Spring: Refresh and Prepare

• Clear winter debris and trim back shrubs.
• Add mulch to garden beds for moisture retention and weed control.
• Install new sod or turf for instant curb appeal before summer heat arrives.

Summer: Beat the Heat

• Water early in the morning or evening to minimize evaporation.
• Choose heat-tolerant plants like ornamental grasses or native shrubs.
• Add shade with patios, pergolas, or stone seating areas.

Fall: Protect and Maintain

• Aerate and fertilize your lawn to strengthen roots.
• Refresh mulch and remove fallen leaves to prevent mold.
• Plant trees and shrubs that establish well in cooler temps.

Winter: Simplify and Plan

• Protect sensitive plants from freezes with covers.
• Use this time for hardscape projects like patios or retaining walls.
• Plan spring projects so you’re ready when the weather warms up.
