Wondering where to start when it comes to your spring landscaping? Well, we just made life easier for you with this list of tips! 
Getting a Head Start on a Healthy Lawn
- Remove thatch in older lawns and dead moss in lawns that have been treated with moss control (approx. 10 days after moss control)
- Lime your lawn about 2 weeks before fertilizing
- Fertilize with high quality, organic fertilizer
- Ongoing weed and dandelion control
Getting Your Flower Beds in Order
- Fertilize your shrubs, trees, hedges, vines, perennials, roses, and small fruits
- Plant new shrubs, trees, pansies, perennials, herbs, roses, and small fruits
- Use manure, compost, bone meal, and peat moss
- Water your flower beds often
- Weed on an ongoing basis
- Buy summer flowering bulbs, tubers, and roots, then plant as per the instructions on their packages
Vegetable Garden Duties 
- Add compost or manure to the areas where you will be planting roses, vegetables, strawberries, and rhubarb (Note: Don’t add manure where you will be planting potatoes because that can cause them to scab)
- Ideas for veggies to plant in April: carrots, cabbage, beets, broccoli, green onions, lettuce, onions, turnips, and parsnips
Tidy Your Decorative Yard Ponds
- Get your pond in tip top shape with a thorough cleaning
- Purchase water plants at your local garden centre
Pruning
- Consult with your local garden store or research online to know when to prune the greenery that you have in your yard
- Call a professional landscaping company like ATC Landscape to get the job done for you, as pruning can be quite overwhelming
