As the chill of winter fades and the days grow longer, spring brings a renewed sense of life and vibrancy to our gardens. At All Season Landscape Gardening, we’re thrilled to welcome the new season and help you prepare your outdoor spaces for a stunning year ahead. Here are our top tips for getting your garden ready this spring.

1. Clean Up and Clear Out

Winter often leaves behind debris such as fallen leaves, broken branches, and overgrown plants. Begin by:

Raking up leaves and clearing pathways.
Pruning dead or damaged branches from trees and shrubs.
Removing any weeds that may have taken root.

A clean slate ensures your garden is ready to thrive as the weather warms.

2. Prepare Your Soil

Healthy soil is the foundation of a beautiful garden. Spring is the perfect time to:

Test your soil’s pH and nutrient levels.
Add compost or organic matter to enrich the soil.
Loosen compacted soil to improve drainage and aeration.

Proper soil preparation sets the stage for robust plant growth.

3. Plan and Plant

Spring is ideal for planting new flowers, shrubs, and trees. Consider:

Choosing native plants that thrive in the Berkshire climate.
Adding early bloomers like daffodils, tulips, and crocuses for a burst of colour.
Planting herbs and vegetables for a fresh, homegrown harvest.

Take time to plan your layout to ensure plants have the space and conditions they need to flourish.

4. Feed and Mulch

After a dormant winter, your plants will benefit from a nutrient boost. Apply:

Fertiliser to encourage growth and blooms.
Mulch around flower beds and shrubs to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

5. Tend to Your Lawn

Spring is the season to revive your lawn. Start by:

Raking away dead grass and thatch.
Aerating the soil to improve root access to water and nutrients.
Reseeding bare patches and applying a quality lawn fertiliser.

Regular mowing and watering will keep your lawn lush and green throughout the season.

6. Install Features and Update Landscaping

If you’re considering a garden makeover, spring is the perfect time to:

Add new features like patios, pathways, or water elements.
Refresh existing landscaping with updated designs or new plant varieties.
Consult professionals to bring your vision to life.

7. Set Up a Maintenance Routine

Consistency is key to a thriving garden. Create a schedule for:

Regular watering, especially during dry spells.
Ongoing weeding to keep beds tidy.
Seasonal pruning to encourage healthy growth.
