Albany Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season
Albany landscaping has to handle wet, humid summers and frozen ground in winter. Yards often feature dense stone patios, borders of switchgrass, solid Keystone retaining walls, and shade from native New York asters and sugar maple trees.
LawnStarter connects you with the best Albany landscapers. With a free quote in a few clicks, your search becomes simple.
Albany Landscaping Trends
- Eco-Friendly Water Management: Capture stormwater with rain gardens and permeable pavers, using slate chips and native switchgrass.
- Native Plant Showcases: Plant sugar maple, wild bergamot, and ninebark shrubs to boost wildlife and color.
- Outdoor Living Spaces: Build covered patios with fire pits, string lights, and Adirondack chairs for comfort.
- Edible & Wildlife Gardens: Grow blueberry bushes, apple trees, and bee hotels to delight families and pollinators.
- Smart Yard Technology: Install weather-adaptive irrigation, app-controlled lights, and robotic mowers for efficient care.
Albany Landscaping by Season
Albany landscaping is impossible without thinking about seasons. Each brings its own routine: mowing when it’s warm, bagging leaves in fall, new plants before the dirt freezes. Anyone who lives here learns fast that you cannot just relax.
Here’s what to tackle throughout the year:
Summer
- Lawn Care: Mow to 3 inches height on dry mornings, twice weekly starting June, depending on weather.
- Fencing: Repair or repaint picket and privacy fences while it’s warm.
- Planting: Add heat-tolerant annuals (marigolds, zinnias, vinca) early July mornings.
- Irrigation Maintenance: Clean filters and adjust sprinkler zones for peak growth.
Fall
- Lawn Care: Aerate and dethatch in early September. Final mow typically falls in October.
- Leaf Cleanup: Rake or mulch leaves weekly from early October; consider hiring a leaf removal service.
- Planting: Plant daffodil and tulip bulbs by October 15, before frost.
- Mulch: Add 2 inches of fresh mulch around shrubs mid-October to insulate roots.
- Seasonal Cleanup: Remove spent annuals and trim perennials by late October.
- Irrigation Winterization: Blow out sprinkler lines and drain hoses before November 1.
- Hardscaping: Build patios or firepits in early October’s mild weather.
Winter
- Shrub Pruning: Prune dormant shrubs and cut back ornamental grasses mid-January.
- Salt Management: Apply pet-safe sidewalk salt after each snowfall.
- Protective Wrapping: Wrap young trees in burlap by early December’s first freeze.
Spring
- Lawn Care: Begin mowing once daily highs reach 55 degrees Fahrenheit, typically mid to late April.
- Irrigation Check: Install or test drip systems and sprinkler heads now.
- Soil Testing: Collect samples in early May; test pH for fertilizer guidance.
- Planting: Install cold-tolerant perennials (hellebores, bleeding hearts) in mid-May.
- Mulching: Apply 2 to 3 inches of fresh mulch around beds.
- Pruning: Trim winter-damaged branches on shrubs and small trees on dry days.
- Hardscape Projects: Lay flagstone paths or garden walls early, so they settle before summer.
Whether you need mowing, irrigation installation, tree and shrub pruning, or seasonal planting plans, LawnStarter's Albany landscapers are just a tap away.
