Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your outdoor space. As plants begin to bloom and the weather warms up, a little prep work goes a long way in creating a beautiful, functional yard that’s ready to enjoy.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we help homeowners get ahead of the season with smart upgrades and maintenance tips. Whether you’ve got pavers, turf, lighting, retaining walls, or a combination of outdoor features, here’s how to prepare your yard for spring.

1. Clean Up Debris from Winter

Start fresh by removing anything leftover from colder months.

What to do:

• Rake leaves and clear branches from turf and beds
• Sweep off paver patios and walkways
• Check under pergolas or around fencing for hidden debris
• Power wash hardscape surfaces if needed

We offer cleanup services to help you kickstart the season with a clean canvas.

2. Inspect and Touch Up Your Turf

Whether you have natural sod or artificial turf, spring is the time to assess its condition.

Turf checklist:

• Rinse turf to remove dust and debris
• Brush fibers to lift flattened areas
• Check for drainage issues or uneven patches
• Add infill if needed to maintain bounce and texture

We provide turf tune-ups and new installations for spring-ready yards.

3. Refresh or Repair Paver Surfaces

Winter moisture can leave pavers looking dull or cause shifting.

How to prep:

• Reseal pavers for added protection and shine
• Refill joints with sand to prevent weed growth
• Re-level any uneven or sunken areas
• Extend your patio or walkway if space allows

Spring is a great time to repair or expand your hardscaping.

4. Prune and Prep Plants and Beds

Wake up your softscape with seasonal pruning and bed prep.

To-do list:

• Trim dead branches and overgrowth
• Add mulch or decorative gravel to garden beds
• Define clean borders between turf, pavers, and plant zones
• Plant spring annuals or start prepping for summer blooms

Clean planting beds make everything else pop.

5. Test Your Irrigation and Drainage

Water systems should be working before the real heat hits.

Tips:

• Turn on and test sprinklers or drip lines
• Adjust watering zones and schedules
• Check for runoff or standing water
• Improve drainage with retaining walls or dry creek beds if needed

Good irrigation keeps everything healthy without wasting water.

6. Update Outdoor Lighting

Longer evenings mean more time outside—make sure your lighting is ready.

Lighting tasks:

• Replace burnt-out bulbs and clean lenses
• Test timers and sensors for accuracy
• Add pathway lights, spotlights, or string lights for ambiance
• Highlight key features like fire pits, trees, or pergolas

We install lighting systems that make your space functional and welcoming after dark.

7. Plan Your Spring Projects

Spring is the ideal time to book landscape upgrades.

Popular spring projects:

• Install new turf or extend green space
• Build or update a paver patio
• Add a pergola, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen
• Create a low-maintenance yard that’s ready for summer entertaining

We offer free consultations to help you plan the right improvements for your space.
