The longer, warmer days of spring is perfect for putting your garden in shape for summer entertaining.
Prepare The BBQ
Many individuals enjoy the summertime tradition of grilling for its own sake. Instead of using the disposable trays that are on sale this year, why not set up a grilling station? Pellet grills are available that are built to last for decades and are guaranteed to impress your guests. Plan for pest control if you wish to use your outdoor dining area comfortably.
Remove Weeds
You can relax knowing that the winter has only caused a few weeds to appear in your garden. It’s been stated that if you mow weeds down enough times, they’ll eventually turn into grass. Even so, if you put in the time and effort to pull weeds and treat the affected areas now, your garden will be far less likely to have weeds in the summer. You may find weed killers at any of your local hardware or garden supply stores for very little money.
Organize
Given that winter could have been rough on your garden, it’s understandable that things like dead leaves, broken branches, and rotting furniture could have been left laying around. Get your garden plans in order now so that you may devote your whole attention to them in summer.
Add In Some New Furniture
In light of this discussion, perhaps you should invest in some brand-new patio sets to replace your old, worn-out ones. Patio sets that don’t hurt the environment are widely available. If you have wooden furniture, you may want to consider using wood protection paint to keep it looking good for longer.
Add Evergreen Trees
Even if you might want plants in the summer, the current temperature is too low for their survival. Still, there’s no reason why you can’t start sprucing up your garden with evergreen shrubs and plants now to save yourself some time when the weather warms up. The evergreens you put in will make your landscape seem amazing even in the dead of winter.
Think About The Light
In the summer, it’s natural to want to keep working in the garden well into the night. People often sit in their gardens well into the evening. So, make sure you think about lighting it up. Plan the garden’s lighting for a picture-perfect summer evening. You could even grab a fire basket and have a s’mores roasting party with your pals instead.
Make Things Easier For The Future
Finally, we recognize the difficulty some may experience when taking care of a garden. It makes sense to do rid of some of them permanently, like mowing the lawn, if you can replace it with a patio or deck, or trimming the hedges if you can replace them with walls. You’ll have less work to do, and your garden will stay immaculate.
These are just a few of the things you can do now to make sure your garden is ready to enjoy in the summer. Do you have any other tips that could help? Please share some in the comments below.
