Get Your Dream Yard this Summer

Posted on by

There might still be a little bit of snow on the ground but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning for the warmer weather that is on its way and thinking about your dream yard. March is the perfect time to start imagining about landscaping projects that you would like to do this year and dreaming about a summer spent in a yard you love.

March is the Month for Planning

Every project, interior or exterior, begins with a dream and a plan. There’s nothing worse than getting halfway through a project and realizing that you didn’t account a major component of the end design.

Summer months are meant for enjoying your yard and landscaping. Your future self will thank you for spending a little time now planning. It might be tempting to put off thinking about your landscape projects, but the sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy the finished product.

A great place to start is by writing a list of things you love about your landscape and things you would like to see improved. Maybe you’d like to add a firepit, deck or patio, or finally take care of a buckthorn problem. Whether you realistically can achieve everything on your list this summer or not, getting things written down is a great way to organize and prioritize your ideas.

The snow is melting and everyone, including the team at Great Goats Landscaping, is itching to be back outside again.

It’s that time of year when everyone is ready for warmer weather. As the temperatures rise, people start thinking about doing some deep cleaning, but spring cleaning isn’t just for your house. After months of being buried under the snow, lawns and garden beds need a little TLC to get them looking their best again. Cleaning your yard and doing some maintenance early in the season can ensure that your lawn looks its best for the rest of the summer months.

Spring Clean-Up Tasks

After the winter we’ve had, most people’s yards aren’t in the best shape. With the snow and heavy winds, trees, bushes, garden beds and lawns have seen a bit of wear. Depending on the condition of your yard, a spring cleanup might mean the removal of trees or tree limbs, reseeding of grass seed, raking or aeration of lawns, removal of perennial debris as well as leaves, garbage, and animal waste.

It is best if this work is completed before any lawn care products are applied and before the growing season starts. That way, any fertilizer or weed control products will be able to easily reach the grass and won’t be hindered by unwanted debris.
