Spring: Renewal and Preparation
Spring in Michigan marks the start of new growth — and the perfect time to prepare your yard for the year ahead. Groundscape Inc. recommends a thorough cleanup to remove debris, prune shrubs, and edge garden beds. Early-season fertilizing and soil conditioning help lawns recover from winter stress, ensuring rich, green grass by mid-May.
Spring is also the ideal time to install new landscape features such as flower beds or stone borders before the summer heat arrives.

Summer: Maintenance and Water Management
During the summer months, consistent upkeep is key. Homeowners in Macomb and Sterling Heights benefit from regular mowing, watering, and weed control to maintain curb appeal. Groundscape Inc. designs irrigation systems that conserve water while delivering consistent results, reducing waste and keeping lawns healthy.
Mulching is another summer essential. It retains soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and gives flower beds a fresh, clean look.

Fall: Preparing for Dormancy
As leaves begin to fall, maintenance becomes even more important. Groundscape Inc. provides aeration and overseeding services to strengthen lawns before winter. Removing fallen leaves prevents mold growth, while trimming back perennials and shrubs ensures plants reemerge strong in spring.
It’s also a great time to consider hardscape projects — such as patios or retaining walls — since cooler temperatures make installation ideal.

Winter: Planning and Protection
While your yard may rest during winter, it’s a strategic time to plan next year’s improvements. Groundscape Inc. helps homeowners design new outdoor spaces during the off-season so they’re ready for early spring installation.
Simple winter measures, like wrapping shrubs and trees or applying protective mulch, also shield delicate plants from frost and heavy snow.
