With spring arriving, now is the perfect time to refresh your garden. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and nature is waking up—making it an ideal moment to tackle key landscaping projects. Here are the best jobs to start in March to get your outdoor space ready for the season ahead.

1. Spring Clean Your Garden

Winter can leave behind dead leaves, broken branches, and general debris. Start by clearing flower beds, trimming back perennials, and refreshing soil with mulch. This simple clean-up will create a healthy foundation for new growth. You may also want to clear up some space. One of our clients had a stump removed from their garden.

2. Patio & Pathway Upgrades

Winter can take a toll on patios and pathways, leaving them slippery and cracked. Now is a great time to pressure wash, repair, or even redesign these hardscaping elements to enhance the look and safety of your garden.

3. Create a Planting Plan

March is the perfect time to plan your flower beds and borders. Hardy perennials and shrubs can be planted now, and summer flowers can be started in pots before transferring them outside.

4. Install Raised Beds and Planters

Raised beds provide better drainage, improve soil quality, and make planting easier to manage. Whether for vegetables, flowers, or herbs, getting them installed now ensures a strong start for your plants.

5. Encourage Wildlife with Bird Feeders & Bug Hotels

Attracting wildlife is a great way to create a healthy, biodiverse garden. Adding bird feeders will help support local birds, especially as they enter nesting season. Bug hotels provide shelter for beneficial insects like bees and ladybirds, which help pollinate plants and keep pests under control.

6. Enhance Your Garden with Water Features

A pond, fountain, or birdbath not only adds charm to your garden but also provides an essential water source for birds, bees, and other wildlife. Installing one in early spring gives nature time to settle in before summer.

7. Tidy Up Trees & Hedges

Before birds start nesting in full force, trim overgrown hedges and remove dead or damaged branches from trees. This will promote healthy growth and keep your garden looking neat. Always check for active bird nests before carrying out work.

8. Introduce Outdoor Lighting

With longer evenings ahead, adding solar lights, garden lanterns, or LED fixtures can create a welcoming atmosphere and highlight key features in your outdoor space.
