Jackson landscaping is a year-long job.

Follow our Jackson landscaping calendar to boost your curb appeal with flourishing flora and a lush lawn.

Spring

• Lawn Care: Mowing season begins in March or April, when growth resumes. Consider aerating to prevent/alleviate compacted soil.
• Planting: Start planting in early spring.
• Mulch: Add mulch to garden beds.
• Irrigation: Install an irrigation system.
• Hardscaping: Build a deck or patio.
• Fencing: Install a vinyl fence.
• Landscape Lighting: Install lights along walkways.
• Shrub Pruning: Prune in early spring.

Summer

• Lawn Care: Continue your mowing schedule.
• Irrigation: Continue watering to combat Jackson’s steamy summers.
• Landscape Lighting: Inspect light fixtures for standing water.
• Kudzu control: Use herbicide or hand pulling to prevent an invasive vine take over. Late summer is the height of kudzu's growing season.

Fall

• Lawn Care: The last mow is in late October or early November. If you have cool-season grass, early fall is the best time to aerate.
• Leaf Cleanup: Keep your yard clean by raking, blowing, or hiring a local leaf removal crew.
• Planting: Continue planting as long as the soil is warmer than 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mulch: Freshen up mulch.
• Irrigation: Check your sprinkler heads.
• Hardscaping: Fall weather is the perfect time for hardscaping construction. Consider building a gazebo, pergola, or fire pit.
• Landscape Lighting: Use landscape lights to brighten up garden beds and trees.

Winter

• Planting: Plant indoors during late winter, then transplanted outside in the spring.
• Irrigation: Reduce watering and don’t water over frozen ground.
