lawn care guide

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your garden and prepare for a season of healthy growth. With proper planning and preparation, you can create a vibrant outdoor space that flourishes throughout the year.

Start with Healthy Soil

Healthy plants begin with healthy soil. Add compost and organic amendments to improve soil structure and nutrient availability.

Choose Climate-Appropriate Plants

California gardeners benefit from selecting drought-tolerant and native species that thrive in local conditions.

Prune and Clean Up

Remove dead branches, spent blooms, and winter debris to encourage healthy growth and reduce pest issues.

Mulch Your Garden Beds

Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Feed Plants Properly

Apply fertilizers according to plant needs to support strong roots, foliage, and blooms.

Water Wisely

Deep, infrequent watering encourages stronger root systems and conserves water.
