BLOG Year-Round Garden Care: Seasonal Tips from Rustic Roots Landscaping Jul 17, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your garden. At Rustic Roots Landscaping, we understand the importance of year-round garden care to keep your outdoor space looking its best. In this blog post, we have compiled some seasonal tips to help you maintain a beautiful garden throughout the year.

Spring:

Spring is the perfect time to give your garden a fresh start. Begin by cleaning up any debris left over from winter, such as fallen leaves and branches. Prune shrubs and trees to encourage healthy growth and remove any dead or diseased branches. It's also a good idea to start preparing your soil for planting by adding compost or other organic matter.

Summer:

During the summer months, it's important to stay on top of watering, especially during periods of hot, dry weather. Be sure to water your garden early in the morning to minimize evaporation and prevent fungal diseases. Deadhead flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and keep your garden looking tidy. Consider adding mulch around plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Fall:

As the temperatures begin to cool down, it's time to start preparing your garden for the winter ahead. Continue to water your plants as needed, but be sure to adjust for the changing weather conditions. Plant spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, to ensure a colorful display next year. Clean up any remaining debris and consider aerating your lawn to promote healthy grass growth.

Winter:

Although your garden may be dormant during the winter months, there are still steps you can take to care for it. Protect tender plants from frost by covering them with burlap or other protective materials. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and be prepared to bring potted plants indoors if necessary. Take this time to plan out any changes or additions you'd like to make to your garden for the upcoming year.
