Spring is here, bringing life back to your lawn and garden. With grass sprouting and flower buds peeking out, it’s the perfect time to start your outdoor cleanup. The weather is cool, the grass doesn’t need mowing yet, and a little effort now will set the stage for a thriving yard and garden.
Tidy Up the Yard
- Rake leftover leaves: Clear the ground so it can “breathe” and allow new growth to flourish. Add decomposing leaves to your compost bin if you have one.
- Trim dead plants and flowers: Prune back old growth to encourage fresh blooms.
- Refresh mulch: If the mulch in your beds looks sparse, add a fresh layer to protect and nourish emerging plants.
Maintain Equipment Areas
Don’t forget about your heating oil tank and outdoor air conditioning unit:
- Clear overgrowth: Trim plants and weeds around these units to ensure easy access for delivery or service technicians.
- Spread landscaping stones: Adding stones beneath or around the base of these units can help keep weeds away and create a clean, tidy appearance.
Prepare for Unexpected Cold Spells
While spring is here, the occasional cold snap could still arrive. Be prepared by checking the oil level in your heating tank.
- Schedule a refill: Topping off your heating oil now means you’ll be ready for any lingering chilly nights.
