Essential Seasonal Yard Clean-Up Tips for a Healthier Landscape
August 5, 2024

Each season brings new beauty to your yard—but it also brings new maintenance challenges. Leaves, weeds, dead branches, and shifting weather can take a toll on your lawn and landscape.

That’s why seasonal yard clean-ups are essential to keeping your outdoor space healthy, safe, and looking its best. At Unlimited Landscaping, we help homeowners tackle seasonal tasks with expert service and smart solutions.

Here’s what to focus on as the seasons change.

1. Spring Yard Clean-Up: Wake Your Landscape Up

Spring is about refreshing your yard after a long winter.

Essential spring tasks:

  • Remove dead leaves and branches
  • Trim shrubs and perennials
  • Clean up debris in beds, turf, and around hardscapes
  • Refresh mulch or gravel
  • Prep sod or turf for the growing season
  • Inspect drainage, lighting, and irrigation systems

It’s also the best time to install new plants, patch turf, or plan big upgrades like a patio or pergola.

2. Summer Yard Clean-Up: Maintenance Mode

In summer, the focus shifts to keeping everything looking sharp and thriving during high use and heat.

Key summer clean-up tips:

  • Mow and edge consistently
  • Water efficiently, especially around turf and sod
  • Pull weeds and deadhead flowers
  • Check for pests or lawn disease
  • Trim overgrowth around fencing and pathways

Consider upgrading with landscape lighting or shade structures like pergolas to enjoy your space during hot afternoons and late nights.

3. Fall Yard Clean-Up: Prep for Dormancy

Fall clean-up is about protecting your yard before winter sets in.

Must-do fall tasks:

  • Rake and remove fallen leaves
  • Trim trees and remove weak branches
  • Cut back dead plants
  • Aerate and fertilize turf
  • Clear gutters, patios, and walkways
  • Winterize irrigation and outdoor plumbing systems

It’s also a great time to install retaining walls or make structural improvements while the weather is mild.

4. Winter Yard Clean-Up: Light But Necessary

While there’s less to do in winter, a little upkeep goes a long way.

Winter tasks include:

  • Clearing branches after storms
  • Removing standing water or ice
  • Sweeping pavers, concrete, and patios
  • Pruning trees (when dormant)
  • Planning your next landscaping phase with a professional

Winter is a great time to schedule consultations and plan out future turf, patios, lighting, or fire pit installations.
