Woodland's climate offers a long growing season with distinct seasonal needs. Here's your guide to keeping your landscape in top shape all year long.
Spring (March–May): Rake debris, apply pre-emergent weed control, start mowing when grass reaches 3 inches, prune winter-damaged branches, and apply bark dust to garden beds. This is also the perfect time for new plantings.
Summer (June–August): Maintain a regular mowing schedule, water deeply during dry spells, monitor for pest issues, and keep beds weeded. Avoid heavy pruning during heat stress. Raise mower height to help grass retain moisture.
Fall (September–November): Aerate and overseed the lawn, do a final fertilizer application, clean up fallen leaves, prune deciduous trees after leaf drop, and prepare irrigation systems for winter. Fall is the best time for major tree work.
Winter (December–February): Focus on cleanup after storms, plan spring projects, and schedule professional services in advance. This is a great time to assess your landscape and make improvement plans.
