Four-Season Landscape Care
Northern Virginia's four distinct seasons each bring unique challenges and opportunities for your landscape.
Spring
March-May
Spring brings cleanup, pruning, fertilization, and early plantings along with landscape bed refresh and fresh mulching. This is the perfect time to prepare your landscape for the growing season ahead.
Summer
June-August
Summer maintenance focuses on weed control, strategic pruning, and addressing any drainage concerns before fall rains. We also concentrate on lawn care with targeted weed control and soil preparation for optimal growth.
Fall
September-November
Fall is ideal for planting trees and shrubs, overseeding lawns, and thorough cleanup including leaf removal. These critical activities set the stage for a healthy, vibrant landscape next spring.
Winter

Winter includes final leaf removal and sod installation where needed, plus valuable planning time for next year's landscape improvements. This quieter season allows for thoughtful design decisions without rushing.
