The Ultimate Guide to Seasonal Landscape Maintenance – Better Homes & Gardens

Just as your yard has four seasons of growth and rest, it has four seasons of landscape maintenance. Of course, what's needed depends on the time of year and the type of tree or plant you're looking to take care of. These landscape maintenance checklists make the work easy to tackle, no matter what you have in your garden.

While following our guide to seasonal landscape maintenance is essential to keep your garden in tip-top shape according to its own natural course, having basic care year-round will help to make things easier for when each of these seasons comes around. Something as simple as watering when necessary, pruning, or shaping shrubs or trees, layering pea pebbles for a quick edge redo, cleaning up debris or branches, and perhaps more importantly, taking care of pests, insects, and plant or flower diseases as they come instead of just waiting for the right season to do a proper clean-up or weed-out.
