Spring is the best time to refresh your yard and prepare it for healthy summer growth. Many homeowners in Grants Pass and the Rogue Valley want a clean and organized yard but feel unsure where to begin. These seven steps explain what your yard needs in early spring and show how Zehe Scapes offers reliable landscaping support for homes and small commercial properties in the area.


1. Clear leftover winter debris

Branches leaves and scattered yard waste block sunlight and prevent early growth. Removing debris helps grass breathe and keeps pests and mold from forming. This is always the first step because it prepares the entire yard for new growth.


2. Trim plants to support fresh spring growth

Shrubs hedges and small trees often become uneven after cold and wet weather. Light trimming shapes them correctly and encourages steady growth. Proper cuts also reduce stress on the plant. Zehe Scapes trims plants with care so that each one grows in a healthy and balanced way through spring.


3. Mow the lawn at a safe height for early growth

Many homeowners cut their grass too short at the start of the season. This weakens the root system and creates dry patches later in summer. A medium height cut protects the lawn and helps it grow thicker. Professional mowing ensures the grass type in your yard is treated correctly.


4. Edge walkways and garden borders for a clean look

Edging creates sharp lines along sidewalks patios and garden beds. This simple step makes a yard look clean and well cared for. Both homes and small commercial properties benefit from edging because it gives outdoor spaces a more organized and professional appearance.


5. Restore garden beds with fresh mulch

Mulch protects the soil keeps moisture in place and brings color back to garden beds. Mulch also slows weed growth and keeps roots cool as temperatures rise. Fresh mulch is one of the easiest ways to make a yard look new again after winter.
