Hi there, I’m Mr. Lee from Lee’s General Landscaping. Each season in Seattle brings its own set of yard care tasks. By knowing what to do and when to do it, you’ll keep your outdoor space looking great all year. Let’s break it down season by season, without getting too technical.
Spring Clean-Up: A Fresh Start
As winter fades, it’s time to clear away anything left behind—like fallen branches or leftover leaves. Give your soil a quick boost with some fertilizer, then add new plants or seeds. Think of it as giving your yard a “spring cleaning” so it’s ready for fresh growth and bright blooms.
Summer Maintenance: Steady and Simple
Warm days and occasional dry spells mean your garden needs consistent care. Water your plants when the soil starts to feel dry, pull up any weeds you see, and keep an eye out for pests. Give shrubs and hedges a trim to maintain their shape. This is the season for keeping things tidy and healthy.
Fall Clean-Up: Preparing for Rest
As leaves fall and the weather cools, rake up and remove debris to prevent soggy piles that can harm your lawn. Add mulch or compost to protect and enrich the soil before winter. This is also a good time to “tuck in” your plants, trimming them back and preparing them for the colder months ahead.
Winter Yard Care: Gentle Protection
In Seattle’s mild winters, you don’t need to do much, but a little care goes a long way. Cover garden beds if needed, and protect delicate plants with burlap or cloth. Use this quieter season to think about next year’s yard projects—what you want to plant, change, or improve.
By following these simple steps throughout the year, you’ll help your yard thrive, no matter the season. And remember, if you need help or advice, Lee’s General Landscaping is here to guide you toward a beautiful, low-stress outdoor space!
