Spring Landscaping Checklist for Central Massachusetts Properties

Prepare your property for a strong growing season.

1) Clear Winter Debris

Remove fallen branches, leaves, and storm residue from lawn and planting areas. Clearing debris early improves turf recovery and reduces moisture-related disease pressure.

2) Inspect Turf Health and Drainage

Check for snow mold patches, compaction, and pooling water. Drainage issues should be corrected before fertilization and reseeding so spring growth is not delayed.

3) Refresh Beds and Edges

Recut bed lines, remove dead plant material, and top off mulch where coverage thinned over winter. Clean, defined bed edges immediately improve curb appeal.

4) Schedule Early-Season Maintenance

Establish mowing, pruning, and fertilization timing based on property use and budget. Commercial sites and HOA properties typically benefit from a fixed service calendar.

5) Plan Repairs and Improvements

Identify cracked concrete, uneven hardscape surfaces, and planting areas due for renovation. Tackling repairs in spring prevents larger mid-season disruptions.
