As the temperatures begin to warm up and the flowers start to bloom, it's time to start thinking about seasonal garden maintenance. At L & C Landscaping, we understand the importance of keeping your garden looking its best all year round. That's why we've put together some tips from our professionals to help you with your garden upkeep.

1. Spring Cleanup: The first step in seasonal garden maintenance is to clean up any debris left over from the winter months. This includes removing dead leaves, branches, and other debris that has accumulated in your garden bed. This will help prevent pests and diseases from taking hold in your garden.

2. Pruning: Spring is the perfect time to prune your shrubs and trees. This will help promote new growth and keep your plants looking their best. Be sure to use sharp tools and make clean cuts to avoid damaging the plant.

3. Mulching: Mulching is an important part of garden maintenance as it helps retain moisture in the soil, suppresses weeds, and adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down. Make sure to apply a fresh layer of mulch to your garden beds in the spring.

4. Fertilizing: Spring is also a good time to fertilize your garden to give your plants the nutrients they need to thrive. Choose a fertilizer that is appropriate for the type of plants you have in your garden and follow the instructions carefully.

5. Watering: As the weather warms up, your garden will need more water to stay healthy. Be sure to water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Check the moisture level of the soil regularly to ensure your plants are getting enough water.

6. Pest Control: Keep an eye out for any signs of pest damage in your garden and take action to control them before they become a problem. There are many eco-friendly options available for pest control that won't harm beneficial insects.

7. Regular Maintenance: Finally, make sure to stay on top of regular garden maintenance throughout the season. This includes weeding, deadheading flowers, and keeping an eye out for any signs of disease or damage.
