While you all must be happy with the winter season being over, have you considered how your trees and shrubs have fared? We get to hide during the winter season in our homes but our landscape is not so lucky. You most probably would not like to have any regrets with regards to the spring getting into full swing and you suddenly realizing a tree hanging out of whack. It is extremely important to take good care of the lawn or to dig your yard out from a foot of snow or ice in order to ensure a healthy lawn.
You can either do it yourself by following tips from experts or can go for professional lawn care providers.

A few valuable spring landscaping tips for homeowners include:
Clean your Landscape- As you all know, salt causes severe injury to plant buds and roots so flush and rinse off areas of your landscape near roadways, walkways and driveways which can help plants to recover.
Watch for Bugs- There are no two ways about the fact that insect and disease issues in the landscape are usually the worse in the spring and early summer which gives rise to many problems like apple scab and emerald ash borer which need to be dealt with proactively.
Pruning- Pruning dead, diseased or unsafe branches reduce the risk of further decline, promotes growth and significantly improves the appearance for summer when we use our yards more.
Hard Cutbacks- Cutbacks can leave a tree or shrub looking thin, but in the early part of the season are less noticeable, and ultimately enable fuller growth and can clean up areas around overgrown windows and walkways.
Fertilize- Prior to the trees and shrubs enter the peak growing season, apply a slow-release fertilizer to replenish nutrients and improve resistance to disease, insects and stressful weather. Balanced fertilization of the lawn and landscape plants can help them grow and overcome stress. But do not go overboard with fertilization as it can increase insect and disease issues later.
Plant new trees- There is no better time than spring to plant new trees and shrubs.
Flood Warning- Your landscape might suffer from standing water on partially thawed ground when melting snow and rainfall occur so pay a good amount of attention to shrubbery in high-risk areas.
Need for mulching- Another valuable way to improve landscape health is by improving soil health which one can do by adding organic matter to landscape as it helps to conserve soil moisture, protects roots and controls weeds with a 1- to 2-inch layer of shredded hardwood or leaf mulch. Again, don’t overmulch the tree.
Following the above-mentioned landscaping tips can prove to be highly beneficial for you.
