Prepare a garden for spring by clearing winter debris, checking access and boundaries, assessing soil and plant condition, and restarting mowing gradually when the grass is actively growing.
Clear before growth accelerates
Remove leaves from paths and lawn areas, collect windblown debris and identify damaged branches or structures.
Review borders
Weed while growth is manageable, remove only appropriate dead material and avoid disturbing emerging plants unnecessarily.
Restart lawn care carefully
Wait until the lawn is growing and the ground is suitable. Use a higher first cut rather than removing too much height at once.
Plan, do not rush
List hedge work, repairs, planting and pressure washing separately so seasonal priorities are clear and wildlife checks are not overlooked.
