Spring Clean-Up: Revitalize Your Lawn

Winter can leave your yard cluttered with debris, dead foliage, and compacted soil. A thorough spring clean-up is essential to restore its health and appearance.​

Key Steps in Spring Clean-Up:

• Debris Removal: Clearing fallen branches, leaves, and other debris allows sunlight to reach the grass and prevents mold growth.​

• Raking: Raking removes thatch—a layer of dead grass and roots—that can hinder water and nutrient absorption.​

• Pruning: Trimming shrubs and perennials encourages new growth and maintains plant health.​

• Edging: Defining the borders between lawn and garden beds enhances curb appeal and prevents grass from encroaching into flower beds.​

Implementing these steps sets a strong foundation for a vibrant lawn throughout the season.​

Mulching: The Secret to a Thriving Garden

Mulching is more than just an aesthetic enhancement; it's a vital practice for plant health and soil conservation.​

Benefits of Mulching:

• Moisture Retention: Mulch helps soil retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.​

• Weed Suppression: A layer of mulch inhibits weed growth by blocking sunlight.​

• Soil Temperature Regulation: Mulch insulates the soil, protecting roots from extreme temperature fluctuations.​

• Nutrient Enrichment: As organic mulch decomposes, it adds valuable nutrients to the soil.​

Proper Mulching Techniques:

• Depth: Apply mulch at 2-3 inches depth to maximize benefits without suffocating plant roots.​

• Distance from Plants: Keep mulch a few inches away from plant stems to prevent rot and pest infestation.​

• Timing: Mulch in mid to late April, after the soil has warmed, to avoid delaying plant growth.​

Following these guidelines can enhance your garden's health and appearance.​

Landscaping: Crafting Your Outdoor Oasis

Spring is the ideal time to reimagine your landscape. Whether introducing new plantings or redesigning garden beds, thoughtful landscaping can transform your yard into a personal sanctuary.​

Landscaping Considerations:

• Plant Selection: Choose native plants that thrive in Omaha's climate for low-maintenance beauty.​

• Design Harmony: Incorporate a mix of colors, textures, and heights to create visual interest.​

• Functional Spaces: Design relaxation, entertainment, and play areas to maximize yard usability.​

• Sustainability: To conserve resources, implement eco-friendly practices, such as rain gardens or xeriscaping.​

Professional landscaping can enhance property value and provide a serene outdoor retreat.​
