Top 5 Spring Landscaping Tips

Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your outdoor spaces. Whether you want to create a lush garden, a cozy retreat, or a welcoming front yard, now is the time to start planning and planting. We have everything you need at Lyons & Island TIMBER MART to get your spring landscaping projects underway. From soil to tools to stunning plants, we’ve got you covered! Follow these five tips for beautiful spring landscaping this season: 

 

1. Clean Up & Prep

We know it’s tempting to dive straight into planting, but take the time to clean up your garden and outdoor spaces. A garden rake, pruning shears, gardening gloves and a wheelbarrow are must-have tools for this job, and you’ll find them all in-store! Start by trimming back dead branches and removing any fallen leaves or debris. A well-prepped space will help your garden thrive.

 

2. Remulch 

Mulch is a landscaping essential that helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve the overall look of your garden beds. Organic mulch, like wood chips or bark, can enrich your soil as it breaks down over time. We carry a variety of mulches in different colours and textures, so you can find the perfect match for your garden. If you’re unsure what to buy, our team can help you calculate the right amount for your project. Use landscaping fabric to help prevent weeds, and a lawn edger to create a smooth transition around garden beds.

 

 

3. Focus on Lawn Care

A lush, green lawn is the perfect backdrop for your spring landscaping. Start by aerating your lawn to promote healthy root growth, followed by fertilization to give it the nutrients it needs. Don’t forget to reseed any bare patches. We carry a wide selection of lawn care tools,  fertilizers, and grass seed blends. Visit us for expert recommendations tailored to your specific lawn needs.

 

4. Consider Adding Hardscaping Elements

Spring is also a great time to tackle hardscaping projects like patios, pathways, and retaining walls. Whether building a new fire pit or creating a relaxing seating area, the right hardscaping materials will set the tone for your outdoor space. 

 

 

5. Outdoor Furniture & Décor 

Once your plants are in place, it's time to add the extra details. With the right outdoor seating and accessories, you can create a cozy, functional outdoor living area. Consider adding outdoor rugs, cushions, and lighting for a finishing touch.
