Landscape Checklist For Homeowners
Maybe you just purchased a new home or perhaps you’re looking to give your yard a little TLC--whatever the case may be, landscaping can quickly become a large undertaking. While you may want your front yard looking Pinterest-worthy, getting there can be a little complicated. That’s why we’ve developed this landscape checklist for homeowners!
#1. CLEAN UP WHAT YOU HAVE
It’s fun to consider the opportunities to give your home the curb appeal and makeover you envisioned, but before you get to make your to-do list, you need to clean up what you have. This includes dead grass, tree branches, sticks, etc.
And with those yard clippings and debris, you can make your own composter to really take your soil to a new level.
#2. GIVE YOUR FLOWERBEDS A REFRESHER
While you may have missed peak growing times for many fruits and vegetables, there is still ample opportunity to prepare for the next growing season. You should begin by ensuring all flowerbeds have been cleaned, annual flowers removed, and the soil aerated and fertilized for future planting.
You can take a look at your specific growing season where you live by checking out the Farmer’s Almanac website!
#3. EDGE YOUR YARD
Once the obvious debris and decaying plants have been removed, your landscape checklist should always include edging your yard! You’ll be shocked by how this simple task can really elevate your property’s appearance.
Edging helps to define the line between your landscaping and lawn and will prevent your grass from growing into your beds as well as give your landscape a sharp and well-manicured look.
#4. MAKE A PLAN OF YARD PROJECTS AND MUST-HAVES
Perhaps on your to-do list is mulching your flowerbeds and adding a stone feature to your outdoor patio. Whatever your goals may be, make a plan of what you hope your yard will look like, the time frame you are looking to complete your landscaping project(s) in, and the material you may need.
