That's why we've put together some seasonal landscaping tips to help you maintain a beautiful outdoor space no matter the time of year.

Spring:

- Spring is the perfect time to start fresh in your garden. Remove any dead plants or debris from the winter months and add fresh mulch to your flower beds.

- Prune your trees and shrubs to encourage healthy growth and remove any damaged branches.

- Consider planting new flowers or trees to add color and interest to your yard.

Summer:

- Keep your lawn healthy by watering it deeply and infrequently. Early morning is the best time to water to prevent evaporation.

- Regularly mow your lawn to keep it looking neat and tidy. Be sure to adjust the height of your mower based on the type of grass you have.

- Add some outdoor lighting to extend your time outside on warm summer evenings.

Fall:

- As the leaves begin to fall, make sure to regularly rake them up to prevent them from smothering your lawn.

- Plant fall-blooming flowers like mums to add color to your garden as summer flowers fade.

- Aerate your lawn to promote healthy root growth and prevent thatch buildup.

Winter:

- Protect your plants from freezing temperatures by covering them with burlap or mulch.

- Keep your walkways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents.

- Consider adding a fire pit or outdoor heater to extend your outdoor entertaining space into the winter months.
