A meticulous clean-up enhances the aesthetics and promotes the health and vitality of plants and grass.

At Yard Solutions, we take pride in our commitment to excellence and attention to detail.

Our Process

  1. Debris Removal, Pruning, and Trimming:

    Our team leaves no stone unturned in ensuring a clutter-free landscape. From fallen leaves to winter debris, we meticulously clear and haul away all unwanted elements, creating a pristine canvas for the upcoming season. All debris generated during this process is promptly removed and responsibly disposed of, leaving your plant beds rejuvenated.

    Another essential step in our spring clean-up process involves carefully trimming all spent grasses and perennials. Since spring is the ideal time for pruning and trimming to promote growth, this process will enhance the aesthetic appeal of your landscape. Our skilled team will carefully trim branches, shape shrubs, and remove deadwood, fostering a landscape that's not only beautiful but also robust.

  2. Deep Edging of Plant Beds and Tree Rings:

    To create defined borders and add a polished look to your landscape, we place a strong emphasis on the deep edging of plant beds and tree rings. This meticulous step not only enhances the visual appeal but, also helps prevent the encroachment of grass and weeds into these areas.

  3. Pre-Emergent Application Before Mulch Installation:

    Our team takes a proactive approach to combat the unwelcome arrival of spring weeds. Before installing mulch, we apply a pre-emergent to all plant beds and tree rings. This preventive measure creates a barrier, inhibiting the growth of weeds such as yellow foxtail, crabgrass, and goosegrass.

  4. Mulching for Nutrient-Rich Soil:

    Mulching is a crucial step in our spring clean-up process. We apply a layer of nutrient-rich mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and nourish the soil. This will help plants thrive and create a polished and well-maintained appearance.

  5. Turf Fertilizer and Weed Control:

    The lawn is a crucial focal point of any landscape, and at Yard Solutions, we ensure its health and vitality through an initial round of turf fertilizer and weed control. Our application includes a slow-release fertilizer that provides sustained nourishment to the grass. Additionally, a pre-emergent weed control product is applied to prevent the emergence of common spring weeds, ensuring a lush and weed-free lawn.

 

Planting Best Practices

Spring clean-up is vital to the longevity of a plant's life, as it promotes health by removing debris and allowing for better air circulation, sunlight, and water absorption. This helps the plants grow and prevents disease issues. Spring is the best time for new plant installations for two main reasons:

  1. It’s easier for the owner to take care of because it’s not too hot, and we get a decent amount of rain. So people have to water the plants themselves less frequently.

  2. It also gives the plants more time to get rooted in and accustomed to their new environment before they go dormant. All of these factors give the plant a higher survival rate.

 

Adding Hardscape Installation for Spring

Once long periods of below-freezing temperatures are over, it’s a good time to install hardscape projects. When temperatures are consistently in the 40’s and 50's, the threat of your patio and retaining wall base failing goes down. Installing in the spring gives the client most of the season to enjoy their new space outdoors. You can have your project completed before doing any spring cleanup and mulching, so you don’t have to do that twice in the same season.
