Autumn Gardening Tips

  • Get your lawn ready for cool weather

In case you didn’t know, the beginning of autumn is the perfect time to take extra care of your lawn. Even if it probably doesn’t seem too important, this step is crucial for the overall health of your lawn, especially when spring arrives. First, make sure to adjust the mower height by raising it Â1/2 to 1 inch during fall. This will allow your lawn to increase leaf area and capture more sunlight, which can result in grassroots storing more food for winter. Besides that, you should also fertilize your cool-season grass. This step should be done before glass blades start to change their color once the air becomes colder. Needless to say, you must tackle the leaves, too. If they lay on your lawn for several days, it’s highly likely that they’ll damage your grass blades. Rake them regularly and you’ll do a great job!

  • Install a cozy fire pit 

Nothing screams ‘autumn’ more than a cozy outdoor fire pit. It is inviting and welcoming, so everyone will enjoy spending their free time in it. There are many available types of fire pits, and the first one is called a fire pit table. It’s very similar to an outdoor coffee table, but with a little twist. It has a campfire in the middle. It means that you can place snacks and drinks on the flat surface that surrounds the pit. It is portable and therefore very easy to install and maintain. On the other hand, you can also opt for a built-in fire pit. This is a permanent and a pricier option, but it definitely pays off in the long run!

  • Prep your plants before you bring them inside

Did you know that the majority of houseplants that have spent summer outdoors often need to be brought inside for the winter? That’s right, so learning how to make the transition easier for the plants is important. A sudden change in humidity and light levels can shock them and cause irreversible damage. This is why you should move them from an open area onto a covered porch or under a tree. It is how they’ll start adjusting to the reduced light. Also, remember that repotting isn’t an option here. Since their growth slows down during fall and winter, it should be done during spring instead. Besides that, don’t forget to properly store your gardening tools, too. You’ll no longer need them during the colder months, so buy a quality padlock and keep them somewhere safe. This is how you’ll prepare for spring gardening activities!

Winter Gardening Tips

  • Come up with cute winter flower beds

  • Take proper care of wildlife during winter

If you’re a huge wildlife lover, you certainly know that winter is the most challenging season for the animals, right? This is particularly true for cute little birdies that need shelter and food during the coldest months. This is why you should take extra care of them in your winter garden. First of all, get a birdhouse that can help the birds stay safe during harsh weather conditions. It should be positioned to face between north and east so that it’s shielded from direct sunlight. Also, it must be out of reach of squirrels and cats. Aside from shelter, you should provide enough food for the birds as well. Sunflower seeds and nuts are a great choice, as well as peanuts. However, be sure to use secure feeders with peanuts and other large nuts to prevent birds from choking!

Spring Gardening Tips

  • Give your outdoor furniture a complete makeover

Once spring arrives, it’s about time you gave your outdoor furniture a complete makeover. Of course, getting brand new pieces is an option, but you don’t have to break the bank to upgrade your garden. Instead, get crafty and upcycle what you already have! Firstly, search through your basement and find old pieces of furniture. Wash them thoroughly and use rough sandpaper to remove old paint. It can take a while, but it’s worth it. When that’s done, add several coats of fresh paint to give your furniture a brand new life. If you’re up for a huge makeover, you can use several different colors to create a mismatched vibe. The last step is reupholstering, so choose some water-resistant fabrics and your outdoor furniture is ready for spring!

  • Upgrade your garden with a lovely stone path

A cute stone path is another amazing way to upgrade your garden. If you’re starting from the beginning, make sure to decide where your stone path will go before you start planting grass. This is a great way to come up with a lovely path and create different sections in your garden. Of course, placing stones is the most affordable solution out there. It’s the simplest one, too, so you won’t make a mistake with it. If you live in an area where winters are super cold, be sure to opt for dense stone such as bluestone, granite, or quartzite. These can withstand extremely low temperatures. On the other hand, limestone and sandstone are a good choice for warmer areas. When it comes to style, the geometric-shaped stone is a fantastic choice for contemporary homes, whereas irregular stone will add a rustic vibe typical of country homes!

  • Plant gorgeous flowers

No spring garden can be complete without gorgeous flowers, right? Well, that’s exactly why you need to plant them as soon as possible! Even though many people think that taking care of a garden is a very challenging and time-consuming task, it doesn’t have to be. If the soil isn’t nutritious enough, all you need to do is to add fertilizer. Your local florist will be glad to help you out if you need assistance. As for the flowers themselves, you should do a detailed research on plants that can comfortably grow in the climate you live in. Of course, if you’re still a beginner at gardening, be sure to plant resilient spring flowers. You won’t go wrong with them!

Summer Gardening Tips

  • Remember that raised bed gardens are super convenient

When it comes to gardening during the summer, the rules are quite simple here. You must properly water your plants and protect them against the heat in the first place. Many people also claim that raised beds are a phenomenal choice, especially for people who don’t have a lot of time and space for gardening. These will allow you to grow organic fruits and vegetables no matter how small your garden actually is. To utilize every square inch of space, just place the planters close together. Also, raised beds drain water much more efficiently than in-ground beds, which is what makes them beginner-friendly. You won’t have to worry even if you overwater your plants. Does it get better than that? We don’t think so!

  • Don’t forget to add romantic string lights, too

If you think that there’s something more romantic than cozying up to your loved one on a warm summer evening â€" boy, are you wrong! This definitely is one of the most beautiful ways to spend quality time with your partner, and you can make it even more beautiful by adding some dreamy string lights. Make a trip to your attic and look for old lamps and even Christmas lights. Don’t worry if you don’t have them, since buying them off-season isn’t a big investment. Once you have your string lights, get creative, and place them strategically between the trees or above your seating area. You can also use a hot glue gun to create any kind of shape on your wall or fence. This is the perfect time to express your creativity, so go ahead and make your garden even more magical this summer!

As you can tell, there are so many amazing ways to transform your garden into a magical retreat in every season. If that’s your top goal at the moment, all you have to do is to stick to our tips. Just follow our guidelines and you’ll make it happen, that’s a promise!
