Gardening Brilliance: Barron's Tips for Every Season Oct 25, 2025

Gardening brilliance shines all year round, whether your landscape is blooming with vibrant colors or blanketed in pure white snow. At Barron's 4 Season Lawn Service, we believe that every season brings unique opportunities to enhance and maintain your outdoor spaces. Here, we share tips to keep your garden thriving no matter the month or the weather.

Spring marks the rebirth of nature, and for many homeowners, it's the prime time to jumpstart garden goals. Start with a thorough cleanup. Remove dead leaves and debris left from winter to give your lawn a fresh start. This is also the perfect time to test soil health. Checking your soil's pH balance can inform you about necessary nutrients or adjustments needed for optimal plant growth. Aerating your lawn is another essential step. It allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots, fostering a lush and healthy lawn.

Summer brings challenges with its high temperatures, but it also provides the perfect backdrop for maintenance and planting strategies. Watering wisely is key: irrigate your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation and keep grass hydrated without wastage. Consider implementing a mulching routine to retain soil moisture and control weeds. Additionally, choose drought-resistant plant varieties suited for the warm climate to ensure your garden continues to flourish even on the hottest days.

As the heat of summer winds down, it’s time to prepare your lawn for the cooler months that lie ahead. Fall is ideal for reseeding bare patches and overseeding your lawn to maintain its density. Pay attention to leaf management—while a layer of fallen leaves can protect your lawn, too much can suffocate it. Fertilization is crucial during this season; applying a slow-release fertilizer will provide essential nutrients to withstand the winter. Additionally, consider planting bulbs like tulips or daffodils, which will add splashes of color when spring arrives.

Winter doesn't mean you should forget about your garden. While snow blankets may appear lifeless, there's plenty to plan and execute during the colder months. Snow removal is essential not only for safety but also to prevent stress on grass and plants. Use snow-friendly techniques to avoid damaging your landscape. Protecting dormant plants and trees with burlap or other insulating materials will ensure they survive winter's harshness. Winter is also a great time to plan for the coming year—research plant varieties and design ideas to try out when the thaw begins.
