You never know what you will find once the snow has melted. Leaves, limbs, and lost mail are typical finds in our yards. To prepare your lawn for the growing season, these items are removed and the lawn is gently raked.

Damage to your lawn is not uncommon and can be caused by road salt and plow services. ACA Landscaping, LLC will seed and prep the damaged areas for the growing season rather than leaving it to become a future mud puddle. Depending on the severity of the winter season your lawn may also require mowing or watering.

Plant Beds and Trees

Dead annuals are removed making room for new plants. Soil around the remaining plants is loosened to promote growth. Any remaining leaves and limbs are also removed from the plant beds and dead or broken limbs can be removed from shrubs and trees. 
Spring cleanup is also the time to prepare your landscape for weed control and remove any early season weeds that have begun to grow. Spring cleanup is good time to trim any bushes and depending on the time of spring, plant flowers.

Lawns require the most care during the fall cleanup period. Leaves need removing along with any fallen limbs or debris. Lawns may also require a final mowing cutting the grass to the appropriate length to endure the winter and along with any late fall applications of fertilizer.

Plant Beds and Gardens

Last but not least on the fall cleanup list are your planting beds and gardens. It is best to remove annual flowers and especially vegetable plants. Tomato and potato plants left to rot can transmit fungal disease into your soil and can affect next year crops. Once the annual plants are removed, it is a good time to till and add fertilizers or organics to the soil. These beds are then topped off with a layer of mulch.
