Mastering Seasonal Changes: Big River's Guide to Year-Round Landscaping Aug 27, 2025

When it comes to managing outdoor spaces throughout the year, understanding seasonal changes is crucial. At Big River Lawn Care Services and Snow LLC, we understand that your landscape needs vary with the seasons. In our comprehensive guide, we'll explore how to optimize your landscape through the changes that each season brings, ensuring it remains vibrant and well-maintained all year round.

Beginning with spring, this season is a time of renewal and growth. It's the perfect opportunity to evaluate your lawn and to prep for the growing season. Start by removing debris that has accumulated over the winter. Aerating your lawn, overseeding, and applying a pre-emergent weed control will promote a thriving, lush grass foundation. Spring is also an ideal time to plant perennials and give your irrigation system a thorough check to prevent costly repairs later in the year.

As spring gives way to summer, your focus should shift to maintaining your landscape's health amid rising temperatures. During these warmer months, consistent and deep watering is key to sustaining plant growth. However, watering should be done early in the morning or in the late afternoon to minimize evaporation. Mulching not only conserves water by reducing evaporation but also helps suppress weeds and maintains soil temperature. Regular mowing and edging are essential too, as this keeps your lawn looking tidy and encourages dense growth.

When autumn arrives, it's about preparing your landscape for the colder months ahead. With leaves falling, it's crucial to keep your lawn clear of debris. Utilize this time to fertilize your lawn, providing essential nutrients that will support root growth over the coming winter. This is also when you should think about pruning trees and shrubs to remove any dead or diseased branches, reducing the risk of damage from winter storms.

Winter in regions prone to heavy snowfall poses unique landscape challenges. While the landscape may appear dormant, it's vital to protect it from harsh conditions. Our snow removal services ensure clean, safe paths, avoiding damage to underlying grass or hardscapes. Protect delicate plants with burlap screens to shield them from wind and ice. It's also a good time to plan any hardscaping projects, such as patios or walkways, so they are ready for installation in the spring.
