Spring is in full swing, and we've already enjoyed some 20°C days! Sure, there's been a little snow too—Alberta weather, right? But let's focus on the positives.
As the grass turns greener and warm days become more frequent, it’s clear your yard could use a little love. 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 for a yard cleanup or not, our team of experts has shared their top five spring yard tips for DIYers. Let’s dive in!
**1. Clear the clutter**
Raking isn’t just for fall. Starting the season with a clean slate and a good rake helps remove last year’s mud, twigs, debris, and even snow mold. While insects like ladybugs and bees may have used the debris as shelter, they’re active now. This is the perfect time to get rid of that unsightly snow mold, which can harm your lawn if left unchecked.
**2. Give your grass a fresh cut**
Check your lawnmower blades and make sure they're sharp. Dull blades can tear the grass, leading to an uneven cut and more work. 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 your lawn even, and avoid mowing when the grass is wet.
**3. Say goodbye to weeds**
A weed-free lawn is a beautiful one. Before reaching for the spray, remember: over-spraying can be harmful. Avoid flower beds and areas where kids, pets, or family play. Keep them away from treated areas for at least 24 hours. Always wear gloves and eye protection when using pesticides.
**4. Nourish 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, choose a fertilizer with a higher middle number to promote strong roots. In midsummer, go for a higher first number to support leaf growth. And in fall, pick one with a high last number to help plants withstand colder weather.
**5. Let nature grow**
Snow will melt, and trees will grow. Help your trees, shrubs, and plants by pruning dead branches. Take a walk around your yard to check for any damaged or overgrown parts. Remove anything that looks unsafe, like branches that might fall unexpectedly.
If there's minor damage from the snow, you can tie a support post to save the plant. Being proactive ensures your trees get off to a healthy start, with better access to sunlight and nutrients.
**Bonus tip:** A clean yard deserves a clear view. After all your hard work, enjoy your outdoor space from inside with sparkling windows. Rümi offers window cleaning services that make your lawn feel like it’s just outside your living room. So sit back, relax, and let us take care of the windows while you enjoy the view.
