Knowing when and where to prune plants is a science and improperly pruned plants may fail to bloom or grow. However, pruning can be more difficult than it first appears. Proper pruning is important to keep your plants looking happy and healthy. Old dead branches, misshapen bushes and trees, and winter storm damage to landscaping can leave your yard looking less than perfect. Thoroughly raking your yard in spring and removing old plant matter can improve your lawn’s appearance and help to guarantee healthy plants and lawns. If not removed, thatch, dead leaves, and old branches can inhibit grass and plant growth. Thatch, a mixture of dead grass, stems, and other organic matter, can also accumulate on lawns. Though they may appear simple, they are incredibly important to ensure your lawn and garden are in tiptop shape for the year to come.Įven if you raked your lawn in the autumn, not all plants and trees shed their leaves before the first snow, and winter storms can bring down more leaves, twigs, and branches. In the springtime, there are several crucial lawn maintenance tasks to complete. Not only that, but a thorough spring landscape cleanup can help revitalize garden beds and provide elements that plants need to thrive. If they are not properly removed in the springtime, all that debris can prevent underlying vegetation from growing due to lack of sunlight and proper air circulation. During the long winter months, leaves, branches, and other debris brought down by winter storms and harsh weather accumulate in your yard. Regular maintenance of lawns and gardens is essential for healthy plants and lawns. Why is spring cleanup so important for your landscape?
