Lay Down Fresh Mulch: a great way to freshen up flower beds and help give your entire lawn more color and curb appeal. Along with adding beauty, mulch delivers the more meaningful benefits of reducing the amount of watering required and helping to inhibit the growth of weeds.

Set Up Stepping Stones: this a great way to bring both natural beauty and needed functionality to your yard. Also, marked walking areas help to keep people from stepping through beds and damaging plants. And a stone path is a great solution for tight side areas between you and your neighbor where grass is a bit tougher to grow due to shade and drainage.

Clean Up: after you do your spring cleaning on the inside of your home, move your focus to the outside. Your lawn’s growth benefits from raking up twigs, leaves, and any other debris that has collected over winter; not to mention it just looks better.
