BLOG Gardens in Full Bloom: Expert Landscaping Tips for Every Season by Craft & Sons Dec 11, 2024

As the snow melts and the days grow longer, the prospect of gardening becomes a beacon of joy for many homeowners. Craft & Sons Landscaping & Snow Removal is here to guide you through making your garden the pride of the neighborhood. With over a decade of experience in landscaping and hardscaping, we know that each season brings its unique charm and challenges to your outdoor space.

Spring is nature’s way of saying, "Let’s party!" It’s the perfect time to prepare your garden for a vibrant bloom. Start by cleaning up your garden beds, removing debris that accumulated over the winter. Refresh your soil with a mix of compost and topsoil to give plants the nutrients they need. This is also the ideal time to plant early bloomers like pansies and tulips, which will give you an early splash of color.

Summer demands regular maintenance to cope with the heat and ensure that your garden remains lush and inviting. A weekly mowing routine, combined with edge trimming, keeps your lawn looking its best. Mulching is a must during these months as it helps retain soil moisture and fight off weeds. Remember to water deeply but infrequently, ideally early in the morning, to minimize evaporation. Consider adding vibrant summer flowers like marigolds and petunias to sustain blooms throughout the hottest months.

As autumn approaches, it’s time to prepare your garden for dormancy while still maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Rake leaves regularly, not only for tidiness but also to prevent fungal diseases. Planting cool-season vegetables like kale and spinach can ensure you continue to enjoy a harvest. Autumn is also perfect for planting bulbs that will bloom in spring, allowing for a seamless transition into the next vibrant cycle.

Winter, while dormant, doesn’t have to mean a dull landscape. Evergreens, winter berries, and ornamental grasses can provide texture and color even in colder months. It’s crucial to prune trees and shrubs during winter when they're dormant, as this helps keep them healthy and promotes growth come spring. Craft & Sons offers professional snow removal services, ensuring your garden pathways remain accessible and safe.

Throughout all four seasons, maintaining a focus on sustainability can greatly benefit your garden and the environment. Practices such as composting kitchen scraps, using organic mulch, and embracing native plants that require less water and pesticides can vastly improve your garden’s health.
