Seasonal Landscaping Checklist for Northern Utah

​Year-Round Yard Care Made Easy
Utah’s climate isn’t exactly subtle—we go from freezing winters to blazing hot summers with just enough spring and fall in between to keep things interesting. That means your landscape needs different kinds of care every season.

As a trusted landscape contractor in Ogden, we’ve put together a seasonal landscaping checklist to help you keep your yard looking its best, year-round. Whether you’re maintaining a lush lawn, prepping garden beds, or managing irrigation, this guide has you covered.

Spring Landscaping Tasks
Spring is all about resetting your yard after a long winter. It's the time to clean up, refresh, and prep for new growth.

Your spring to-do list:

• Clear leaves, dead branches, and winter debris
• Aerate your lawn to allow nutrients to reach the roots
• Apply pre-emergent weed control
• Fertilize grass and garden beds
• Re-edge curbing and borders for a clean look
• Inspect your sprinkler system and schedule sprinkler repairs or tune-ups
• Begin planting early-blooming flowers and cool-season vegetables

Pro Tip: We offer sprinkler install & repair services to help you kick off the growing season right.

Summer Landscaping Tasks
With high temps and long daylight hours, summer is all about maintenance and hydration.

Your summer checklist:

• Mow regularly (adjust blade height to avoid scorching)
• Water deeply and early in the day to prevent evaporation
• Inspect and adjust sprinkler timers as needed
• Monitor for pests and plant diseases
• Apply mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds
• Keep an eye on turf and flower beds during heatwaves

 Pro Tip: Make sure your irrigation system is running efficiently—no leaks, clogs, or wasted water.

 Fall Landscaping Tasks
Fall is your chance to prepare your landscape for winter and boost its health going into dormancy.

Key fall tasks:

• Remove fallen leaves and clean up annuals
• Aerate your lawn (again!)
• Apply a fall fertilizer to strengthen roots
• Cut back perennials and dead plant material
• Winterize your sprinkler system to prevent pipe damage
• Plant spring bulbs and hardy shrubs

 Pro Tip: We offer sprinkler blowout services to protect your irrigation lines before that first hard freeze.

Winter Landscaping Tasks
Winter doesn’t mean your yard gets ignored—it just shifts into protection and planning mode.

Winter care includes:
Prune dormant trees and shrubs
Clear snow off weak branches to prevent breakage
Inspect fences for weather damage (we offer fence repair too!)
Review your landscaping goals for next year
Plan your next design or install project early to book ahead
