Alexandria Landscaping Projects by Season
Yard work in historic Alexandria keeps you busy.
For an immaculate lawn and garden, or to get the most out of your outdoor space, follow this seasonal landscaping calendar.
Spring
- Lawn Care: The mowing season starts in late March to early May.
- Planting: Plant flower beds, ground covers, and trees.
- Shrub Pruning: Plant and prune in early spring.
- Mulch: Add, refresh, or replace mulch.
- Landscape Lighting: Add, repair, or replace lighting to showcase your outdoor space.
- Irrigation: Install an irrigation system.
- Fencing: Install or repair in spring, summer, and fall. Wait until winter moisture dissipates to stain or paint.
- Hardscaping: Spring, summer, and fall are perfect for adding fire pits, decks, paver walkways, patios, stone garden walls, and stamped concrete.
Summer
- Lawn Care: Continue mowing and watering as needed.
- Fencing: Install, repair, stain, or paint your fence.
- Landscape Lighting: Install and maintain outdoor lighting.
- Irrigation: Summer is a popular time to repair, replace, or install an irrigation system.
Fall
- Lawn Care: The mowing season stops in late October or early November. Aerating and dethatching are best done in September.
- Planting: Plant bulbs around mid-to-late October.
- Mulch: Refresh or replace mulch.
- Leaf Cleanup: Rake, mulch, or blow leaves. Alexandria collects yard waste on trash days, but you need to place it in rigid, reusable containers or paper bags. The city doesnβt provide bins or bags but will provide a label for your reusable container upon request.
- Landscape Lighting: Add before late September.
- Irrigation: Shut off the water and drain your system in late October.
- Hardscaping: Add concrete patios and other features until early October.
- Fencing: Install, repair, and paint/stain until late September.
Winter
- Debris Removal: As long as the ground is snow-free, remove leaves and debris to reduce spring cleanup.
- Shrub Pruning: Late winter or early spring.
Landscaping can be fun and creative, but itβs also a lot of time and work. If you want help with weeding, shrub pruning, mulching, or routine lawn care, LawnStarterβs Alexandria landscaping pros are local, affordable, reliable, and vetted.
