Seasonal Landscaping Maintenance Tips for a Beautiful Yard All Year Long
June 30, 2025

A beautiful yard doesn’t happen by accident—it takes care, timing, and smart seasonal planning. Whether you're maintaining pavers, turf, lighting, or softscaping, knowing what to do (and when) is the key to year-round curb appeal.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we help homeowners design and maintain outdoor spaces that last. Here’s your seasonal landscaping maintenance guide to keep your yard looking fresh in every season.

Spring: Time to Wake Everything Up

Spring is about refreshing your landscape after winter dormancy.

Tasks to focus on:

  • Clear debris and fallen branches from pavers and turf
  • Refresh mulch beds and re-edge borders
  • Inspect retaining walls and patios for damage
  • Test your landscape lighting system
  • Trim dead growth on shrubs and trees
  • Start planting flowers or native plants

We offer spring refresh services to help bring your yard back to life.

Summer: Maintain and Protect

The heat is on—so summer is about upkeep and protection.

Key tips:

  • Rinse artificial turf weekly to remove debris and dust
  • Clean and seal pavers if needed for UV and stain protection
  • Adjust lighting schedules to longer days and warmer nights
  • Water newly planted areas early in the morning
  • Inspect fire pits, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens for wear
  • Keep weeds at bay in mulch and gravel beds

We can help keep your landscape cool, clean, and comfortable.

Fall: Prep for the Cold Ahead

Fall is the perfect time to prepare your yard for winter.

What to do:

  • Cut back perennials and remove annuals
  • Clear leaves from turf and paver joints to prevent staining
  • Aerate and fertilize live grass areas
  • Winterize outdoor lighting and irrigation systems
  • Plant fall-friendly shrubs or ornamental grasses
  • Seal retaining walls or patios if needed

Let us handle the heavy lifting and prep your yard for the colder months.

Winter: Protect and Plan

Even during the dormant season, your landscape needs attention.

Winter tasks:

  • Brush off snow or debris from turf and pavers
  • Avoid using salt on hardscapes—opt for pet-safe alternatives
  • Prune dormant trees or shrubs as needed
  • Check outdoor lighting and wiring for damage
  • Begin planning spring updates or upgrades

We offer winter checkups and help you get a head start on next season’s projects.

Bonus: Maintenance for Hardscapes & Structures

Some features need consistent care no matter the season.

Keep in mind:

  • Sweep and hose off pavers regularly to avoid buildup
  • Rinse turf and inspect infill for wear
  • Clean and inspect fire pits, pergolas, and furniture
  • Wipe down outdoor kitchens and check gas connections
  • Tighten bolts and replace any damaged lighting fixtures

We offer maintenance plans to protect your investment year-round.
