It’s finally spring! You may be celebrating by heading outside for some early barbecues or just long, warm evenings under the stars in your new Magnolia Station home. However you’re spending your time, it’s a great opportunity to start thinking about landscaping and how to improve the look of your outdoor space. With the right approach, you can create a stunning and welcoming environment that will make your home feel more inviting. Here are some tips to help you start spring landscaping off right!

Assess Your Current Landscape

First, determine what’s actually going on in your yard. Take an inventory of what is growing, and what isn’t. Walk around your yard with a notebook and pay attention to any areas that need improvement. Do you need to add more color, plants or trees? Is your grass patchy or overgrown? Once you have a clear idea of what needs to be done, you can start planning your landscaping projects.

Clean Things Up 

Before you start any major landscaping project, you need to clean up your yard. This includes raking leaves, picking up fallen branches, and removing any debris that may have accumulated over the winter. Once your yard is tidy, you will have a better idea of what you need to do to improve it. Everyone thinks better when they’ve got a clean slate!

Plan Your Landscaping Projects

Now that you have assessed your current landscape and cleaned up your yard, it’s time to start planning your landscaping projects. You should think about the style you want to achieve and choose plants and trees that will thrive in your climate. Consider adding hardscaping features like a patio or walkway to create a functional and beautiful outdoor space.

Plant New Flowers and Shrubs

Adding new flowers and shrubs to your landscaping can be a great way to add color and texture to your yard. You can choose from a variety of plants that bloom in the spring, such as tulips, daffodils, and crocuses. You should also consider adding shrubs that will provide shade and privacy, like holly or boxwood.

Maintain Your Lawn and Garden

Once you have completed your landscaping projects, you need to maintain your lawn and garden. This includes watering your plants, fertilizing your lawn, and trimming your shrubs and trees. Regular maintenance will keep your yard looking great and ensure that your plants and trees stay healthy.

Enjoy Your Outdoor Space!

Once your yard is ready, you’ll have the perfect reason to invite some friends over and enjoy your beautiful space. Can’t wait to see what you create!
