Your Spring Yard Prep Checklist
Bradley Lawlor — March 10, 2025
Clear winter debris, reset edges, and get turf and beds ready before peak growing season hits.
Spring is the easiest time to get ahead of the season — before weeds take off and mowing schedules get busy.
Start by clearing leaves and storm debris, then redefine bed edges so lawn and plantings have a clean line. Check irrigation for winter damage, cut back tired perennials, and note thin lawn spots that may need seed or sod later.
A short spring punch list now usually means fewer emergency fixes in early summer, when heat and growth both ramp up.
