Spring Yard Cleanup Checklist: What to Do Right Now

After a long Chicago winter, your yard needs a reset. Spring is the time to clean, repair, and prepare your landscape for a healthy growing season. At C.O. Landscaping & Natural Stone, we help homeowners and businesses get their properties back in shape with professional seasonal landscaping maintenance services.

Start with Debris and Leaf Removal

Winter leaves behind more than just snow. Fallen branches, leaves, and debris can suffocate your lawn and create an unhealthy environment for new growth. A thorough cleanup clears the way for sunlight, air, and nutrients to reach your grass.

Edge, Trim, and Define Your Landscape

Spring is the perfect time to redefine your yard’s structure. Clean edges along walkways, driveways, and garden beds instantly improve curb appeal. Trimming back shrubs and trees also encourages healthy growth throughout the season.

Refresh Garden Beds and Mulch

Adding fresh mulch not only improves the look of your yard but also helps retain moisture and prevent weeds. Pair this with updated flower gardens to bring color and life back to your landscape.

Inspect Hardscapes for Damage

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause cracks and shifting in patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Spring is the time to inspect and address any issues with masonry repair before they worsen.

Plan Ahead for Lawn Health

If your lawn has bare patches or damage from winter, now is the time to consider sod or seeding to restore a lush, green appearance.

Get Your Yard Ready for the Season

A proper spring cleanup sets the foundation for a beautiful, healthy landscape all year long. Don’t wait until growth is already underway—start now and stay ahead of the season.
