Wilmington Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season
Wilmington, a charming city in the scenic Brandywine Valley, boasts year-round attractions and a thriving landscaping scene. Despite receiving over a foot of snow annually, the city is home to many cold-hardy plants. Additionally, hardscaping features such as patios, decks, rock gardens, and more can help create a cohesive and harmonious look.
LawnStarter can connect you with the best Wilmington landscapers, providing multiple quotes with just a few clicks.
Wilmington Landscaping Trends
- Native plant gardens: Bluebird smooth aster, black-eyed Susan, and sweet goldenrod thrive in Wilmington’s humid summers and feed the songbirds.
- Rain gardens: Shallow, mulched basins can capture stormwater, easing Brandywine overflow.
- Hardscaping: Flagstone patios and local field-stone walls add structure and a bit of flair.
Wilmington Landscaping by Season
Yard work in Wilmington is a year-round job. We’ve put together a calendar for lawn care and landscaping projects that will keep your yard in top condition all 12 months.
Fall
- Lawn Care: In the fall, cool-season lawns experience more growth than warm-season lawns. Adjust your lawn care schedule accordingly.
- Leaf Pickup: Rake leaves around mid-November, or hire a leaf removal crew to do it for you.
- Fertilization: You can fertilize your warm-season grass to prepare it for winter dormancy.
- Planting: Plant trees in late fall or early spring.
Winter
- Lawn Care: Both warm-season and cool-season lawns go dormant. Stop mowing and watering until the spring.
Spring
- Lawn Care: Mowing season lasts from March to late October. Delaware lawns require one mowing a week on average. However, cool-season grasses grow faster in spring than warm-season grasses, so adjust your mowing schedule accordingly.
- Fertilization: Spring and summer are the best seasons to fertilize warm-season grasses.
- Shrub Pruning: Prune your shrubs between late winter and early spring when the plants are still dormant to avoid damaging them.
- Mulching: Mulch keeps plants cool to protect them from the summer heat.
- Hardscaping: The best time of year to install hardscaping is spring, after the ground has thawed.
- Irrigation: Lawns should get one inch of water per week, including rainfall.
- Landscape Lighting: Install landscape lighting in spring to enjoy your outdoor living spaces as the weather warms up.
- Planting: The growing season is from early April to early November. Plant perennials in spring or fall.
Summer
- Lawn Care: If you have a warm-season lawn, it will grow fast, so increase your mowing and watering schedule. Cool-season grasses, on the other hand, will slow down, so decrease mowing.
- Fertilization: Fertilize your cool-season grasses in summer or fall.
