Spring is the perfect time to rejuvenate your landscape. As the temperature rises and plants awaken from their winter slumber, start by cleaning up your garden. Remove debris and any plant material that did not survive the winter. This clears the way for new growth and prevents diseases. It's an excellent time to prune shrubs and trees as well, encouraging strong, healthy development. Consider incorporating new plant choices that are well-suited to local conditions—these not only enhance your landscape's resilience but also save you time and effort later on.
Summer brings with it a different set of challenges and opportunities for your landscape. High temperatures and increased foot traffic can take a toll on your lawn and garden. At Kanelo's, we recommend scheduling regular watering sessions in the early morning or late afternoon to minimize evaporation. Mulching is another effective strategy to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. When it comes to hardscaping, ensure your patios and pathways are clean and free of moss or algae buildup, which can become slippery and dangerous. Planting shade trees or installing pergolas can offer much-needed relief from the summer sun, creating enjoyable areas for relaxation.
As the fiery hues of fall descend upon your garden, preparation for the colder months becomes paramount. The fall season is prime time for aerating your lawn, which helps improve root growth and allows nutrients and moisture to seep deeper into the soil. Planting fall bulbs ensures bright blooms come spring, and adding a layer of mulch will protect plant roots from the cold. It's also wise to apply a protective sealant to hardscape materials, ensuring they withstand the impacts of frost and ice.
Winter poses its own set of challenges, but with the right preparation, your landscape can endure the harshest conditions. Reduce stress on plants by trimming any damaged branches, which could break under the weight of snow. Protect fragile shrubs with burlap wraps and replenish mulch as needed to insulate plant roots. When it comes to hardscaping, avoid using salt-based ice melts, which can damage concrete and stone; opt for sand or cat litter as safer alternatives.
