Seasonal Landscaping Checklist: What to Do Year-Round

Each season brings different needs for your lawn and landscaping. At JW Landscaping, we help homeowners maintain beautiful, healthy yards by following a year-round maintenance plan tailored to Northern Kentucky’s climate.

In the spring, the goal is to clean up from winter and jumpstart growth. We remove dead leaves, prune shrubs, and prepare flower beds with fresh mulch. Fertilizing your lawn during this time ensures a strong, green start to the growing season. We also inspect irrigation systems and plant new annuals as needed.

During summer, keeping up with mowing, weeding, and watering is crucial. The heat can stress your plants, so we monitor their condition closely and adjust care routines to avoid overwatering or underfeeding. This is also the time to manage pests and keep your lawn looking lush and full.

In the fall, we shift gears to prepare your landscape for winter. This includes leaf removal, lawn aeration, and overseeding to fill in any bare spots. We also plant hardy fall flowers and cut back perennials so they come back stronger next spring.

Winter may seem like downtime, but it’s the best time to plan next year’s projects, prune dormant trees, and protect vulnerable plants with coverings or mulch. We also offer consultations to design new outdoor features while your yard is at rest.

Our seasonal packages take the guesswork out of yard care. Let JW Landscaping handle the work so you can enjoy your yard in every season.
