Stockton Landscaping by Season

In this All American City, landscaping is an all year task. Here’s a calendar to help guide your landscaping chores.

Fall

• Lawn care: Keep mowing weekly through November.
• Leaf cleanup: Rake, blow, or mulch leaves, or hire a leaf removal crew. Utilize Stockton’s leaf collection service from October through December.
• Irrigation: Gradually dial back your watering.
• Landscape lighting: Install outdoor lights before the evenings get too dark.
• Planting: Finish any planting before the first frost at the end of November.

Winter

• Lawn care: Mow once or twice a month. Don’t mow the grass when it’s wet.
• Irrigation: Winter rains may be enough to cover your irrigation needs.
• Shrub pruning: Start pruning in February.
• Planting: Plant shrubs, trees, and produce starting in February.

Spring

• Lawn care: Start weekly mowing in April.
• Mulch: Mid-spring is the best time, but you can apply at any time of the year.
• Irrigation: Water before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m., no more than two days a week. The specific days are determined by your address (see Stockton’s current water restrictions).
• Hardscaping: Repair or install patios, pavers, or porches so they’re ready for summer.
• Shrub pruning: Prune in March. Wait to prune flowering shrubs until after they’ve bloomed.
• Planting: March is a good time to start all kinds of planting.

Summer

• Lawn care: Mow once or twice a week. Water if possible, but if not, it’s ok to let your grass go dormant.
• Irrigation: Keep following the city’s watering restrictions.
