The Ultimate Spring Landscaping Preparation Guide for Westmoreland County

Spring in Westmoreland County can be unpredictable, but preparing your landscape early sets the tone for the entire year. As the ground thaws and the days get longer, your lawn and garden beds are waking up from their winter dormancy.

1. Clear the Winter Debris

Wind, snow, and ice have likely scattered branches, leaves, and dead plant matter across your yard. Raking this up isn't just about aesthetics—it prevents mold and fungal diseases from taking hold in your grass.

2. Pruning and Trimming

Late winter or early spring is the perfect time to prune many shrubs and trees before new growth begins. Removing dead or damaged branches directs the plant's energy into healthy new shoots.

3. Mulching Matters

Fresh mulch doesn't just look great; it insulates soil, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds. At TruScape, we recommend a high-quality hardwood mulch applied at a depth of 2-3 inches.
