Spring is in full swing, and we’ve already enjoyed some 20°C weather! Sure, there’s been a little snow too—Alberta weather, as always. But let’s not focus on the negatives, shall we?
As the grass starts to turn greener and the warm days become more frequent, it's clear that your lawn could use a little extra care. The good news? You don’t have to do it all yourself. Your friendly neighbor Rümi is here to transform your yard from “Ew†to “Ah†in no time.
Whether you invite us over for a yard cleanup or not, our experts are here to help. We’ve gathered their top five DIY yard tips for spring to get your outdoor space looking its best.
**1. Clear the clutter**
Raking isn’t just for fall—it’s essential in the spring too. Start the season with a clean slate by raking away last year’s mud, twigs, and debris. While insects like ladybugs and bees may have used this area for shelter, they’re back out and about now. This is the perfect time to remove any snow mold that might be lingering. If left untreated, snow mold can harm your lawn’s health.
**2. Give your grass a fresh cut**
Check your lawnmower blades to make sure they’re sharp and ready for the season. Dull blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leading to uneven growth. Aim for a height of 2–3 inches. You don’t need to measure every blade—just adjust the mower wheels with the lever.
**Pro tip:** Vary your mowing pattern to keep the grass even, and avoid mowing when the grass is wet.
**3. Say goodbye to weeds**
A weed-free lawn is a dream come true. Before reaching for the spray, remember to be careful. Avoid spraying near flower beds, playgrounds, or areas where kids and pets play. Keep them away from treated areas for at least 24 hours. Wear gloves and eye protection when using pesticides, as they can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
**4. Revive your soil**
After a long winter, your soil needs a nutrient boost. Fertilizing your lawn and garden beds helps prepare them for a healthy growing season. Look for fertilizers with nitrogen (for leaf growth), phosphate (for root health), and potassium (for disease resistance). In spring, aim for a higher middle number to support root development.
**5. Let nature grow**
As snow melts and trees start to grow, take a walk around your yard to check for dead or damaged branches. Prune anything that looks unsafe, like overgrown limbs that could fall unexpectedly. If something has minor damage, you can support it with a post. Being proactive helps your plants thrive and access more sunlight and nutrients.
**Bonus tip:** A clean view makes a big difference. After all your hard work, enjoy your yard from inside with spotless windows. Rümi offers window cleaning services so you can admire your freshly spruced-up yard from the comfort of your living room. Sit back, relax, and let us handle the cleaning!
