The Ultimate Seasonal Landscape Maintenance Checklist for Homeowners

Keeping your outdoor space in top shape all year round requires more than just mowing the lawn or watering plants. Every season brings its own challenges and opportunities, and having a reliable seasonal landscape maintenance checklist ensures your property stays healthy, attractive, and functional throughout the year. At Mex Landscaping, we’re dedicated to helping homeowners maintain stunning landscapes with expert services tailored to every season.

Below is your go-to seasonal maintenance checklist—complete with everything from lawn trimming to storm water management—so your yard thrives all year long.

Spring: Refresh and Rejuvenate

Spring is the time to revive your landscape after winter’s harsh conditions. It’s all about cleaning up and setting the foundation for new growth.

Spring Checklist:

• Fall Cleanups (Leftovers): Remove any leftover debris from the fall or winter.

• Lawn Trimming: Mow, edge, and aerate your lawn to promote healthy growth.

• Tree & Plant Installation: Ideal time to plant new trees, flowers, and shrubs.

• Weeding Services: Start early to prevent invasive weeds from taking over.

• Landscape Design: Plan or revamp your outdoor space with fresh ideas.

• Storm Water Management: Inspect drainage systems after winter snowmelt.

Mex Landscaping can help you kick off the growing season with a healthy, vibrant landscape that’s ready for long-term success.

Summer: Maintain and Beautify

Summer is about keeping your landscape vibrant and controlling growth. This is the season to focus on consistent property maintenance.

Summer Checklist:

• Lawn Trimming: Regular mowing to keep grass lush and green.

• Weeding Services: Continued weed control to preserve plant beds.

• Shrubs and Bushes: Trim and shape to maintain a clean look.

• Landscape Lighting: Add or adjust lighting for longer summer evenings.

• Irrigation & Watering: Ensure your plants are properly hydrated.

• Landscape Installation: Install new features like patios or pathways.

Our summer services help homeowners enjoy their landscape to the fullest while keeping it healthy and neat during peak growing season.

Fall: Prepare and Protect

Autumn is one of the most important seasons for landscape care. It's the best time to prepare your property for the winter months.

Fall Checklist:

• Fall Cleanups: Clear fallen leaves, dead plants, and branches.

• Lawn Trimming: A final cut before the dormant season.

• Tree & Plant Installation: Excellent time for planting; roots grow well in cooler soil.

• Shrubs and Bushes: Prune for health and structure.

• Storm Water Management: Ensure drainage systems are ready for increased rainfall.

• Landscape Design: Plan ahead for spring renovations.

Mex Landscaping’s fall cleanups and preparation services protect your landscape from the stress of colder temperatures and set you up for success in spring.

Winter: Protect and Plan

Though plant growth slows, winter is not the time to forget about your landscape. It's a season to plan, protect, and take care of key structural features.

Winter Checklist:

• Landscape Lighting: Adjust for shorter daylight hours and enhance safety.

• Storm Water Management: Monitor drainage for ice and snow buildup.

• Design Planning: Work with our team to create or update your landscape design for the next year.

• Property Maintenance: Inspect hardscape elements and address damage.

Mex Landscaping works with you to keep your landscape secure and structurally sound through winter’s challenges, while also helping you plan improvements for the warmer months ahead.
