As the warmth of spring unfurls around us, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate our homes and gardens after the long winter. From awakening the lawn to refreshing indoor spaces, here's your comprehensive guide to everything you should do for your home this spring.


1. Sprinkler System Activation:

The arrival of spring marks the ideal time to start up your sprinkler system from winterization. Ensure that your sprinklers are in good working order by checking for leaks, cleaning out any debris from the sprinkler heads, and adjusting the watering schedule to suit the changing weather patterns.  If you’re in the city of Bozeman, EVEN number physical addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

2. Lawn Care:

Reviving your lawn after the long winter months is a priority task for many homeowners. Start by raking away any debris and thatch, which can impede new growth. Overseeding bare patches will help replenish your lawn's lushness, while applying a balanced fertilizer can provide the necessary nutrients for vibrant greenery. Remember to mow regularly, adjusting the height to gradually lower as the season progresses. If you need lawn care assistance, these local companies do a wonderful job.

Plant new flowers, bushes and trees if needed to enrich your landscaping. It’s also time to plant your garden! Clear away any dead growth from the previous year, apply fresh soil with a natural fertilizer. Pick your favorite vegetables, fruits and herbs.

6. Prepare for Outdoor Enjoyment:

With the arrival of spring, getting your home ready for outdoor entertaining will become a priority.

Consider adding some outdoor lighting to create a welcoming ambiance for gatherings.


Happy Spring everyone!
