H and L Spring Maintenance Guide

At H and L Ground and Garden Maintenance, we recommend the following garden maintenance tasks that should be done in your garden now (March):

1. Clearing and Tidying: Begin by clearing any remaining dead leaves, debris, and cut back any dead foliage from last season's plants.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil for the upcoming growing season by aerating the soil and adding organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. This will help provide nutrients to the soil and encourage healthy growth.
3. Planting: March is the perfect time to plant early spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils and crocuses, as well as hardy annuals and vegetables. You can also plant summer flowering bulbs like gladioli.
4. Pruning: This is a great time to prune any dormant trees and shrubs before they start to grow new leaves. This includes removing any dead, damaged, or diseased branches.
5. Lawn Care: If you have a lawn, start preparing it for the spring by raking away any debris, aerating, and topdressing with compost or fertilizer. This will help your lawn grow and remain healthy throughout the growing season.
6. Pest Control: It is also a good idea to start monitoring for pests and taking preventative measures, such as using a non-toxic pesticide.

These tasks will help prepare your garden for the upcoming growing season, ensuring it looks its best throughout the year.
