Is your once-lovely outdoor space starting to become an eyesore? If your yard has been neglected, it's probably time for some heavy yardwork and landscaping to restore to its former glory. But trying to get your yard, trees, bushes, and beautiful garden space back into shape after a long bout of neglect may seem overwhelming. That's why we've broken down the task into 10 simple yard cleanup tips that will get your lawn and your outdoor space looking pristine once again.
What does a yard cleanup consist of?

Not sure where to start with your yard cleanup? There may be a ton of debris from storms, and there are probably a lot of mangled trees, weeds, and dying spots of grass that need some TLC. But the whole process is pretty straightforward and generally consists of three overall phases:

The top spring lawn care tips every homeowner needs
Get your lawn ready for the season of renewal!
Home with manicured lawn

When spring rolls around and the snow finally melts, most homeowners are eager to get outside and enjoy their yards. But before you host that backyard barbecue or stretch out with a good book in the sun, there’s work to be done. Spring lawn care is essential for reviving your grass after winter’s wear and tear and setting it up for a healthy, vibrant growing season. With a little planning and some basic lawn maintenance, you can give your lawn the fresh start it needs to thrive.
8 spring lawn care tips

Follow these eight tips to bring your lawn back to life and keep it looking lush all season long.
1. Rake leaves and debris
Even if you cleared leaves last fall, chances are new ones have blown in over the winter. Use a sturdy rake to remove any lingering leaves, twigs, thatch, and other debris. This allows sunlight and air to reach the grass and prevents fungal growth from smothering your lawn. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference.
2. Aerate the lawn if needed
If your lawn feels hard underfoot or you noticed poor drainage back in the fall, aeration might be necessary. Aerating your lawn loosens compacted soil and allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the grassroots. You can rent a core aerator or hire a professional for this step — it’s typically only necessary once a year, but spring is a great time to do it if your lawn didn’t get attention in the fall.
3. Pull or treat weeds
Don’t let weeds get a head start. Spot-treat crabgrass, dandelions, and other common spring invaders before they spread. You can pull them by hand or use a weed control product, depending on your preference. If you use herbicides, be sure to choose one that’s safe for use in the spring and won’t interfere with grass seed if you plan to overseed.
4. Address diseases and pests
Keep an eye out for irregular brown spots, moldy patches, or signs of insect activity. Early spring is a good time to treat for grubs or other common lawn pests. If you’re not sure what’s causing an issue, take a sample to your local garden center — they can help you identify and treat the problem effectively.
5. Overseed for new growth
If your lawn has thin or patchy spots, overseeding is a must. Choose a grass seed mix that’s suited for your region and lawn conditions. Spread it evenly using a seed spreader, and lightly rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Water the area consistently until new grass takes root, and avoid heavy foot traffic during this time.
6. Apply fertilizer
A spring feeding can give your lawn a much-needed boost. Choose a slow-release fertilizer that’s high in nitrogen to promote green, leafy growth. Make sure to follow the instructions on the label and apply it when the soil is moist — usually after watering or a good rain.
7. Water, water, water!
Spring weather can be unpredictable, so you might need to supplement with irrigation. Grass typically needs about an inch of water per week, whether from rainfall or a sprinkler system. Water deeply and less frequently to encourage deeper root growth, which helps your lawn stay resilient during dry spells.
8. Establish a mowing and watering schedule
Once your lawn is growing steadily, get into the habit of mowing regularly — usually once a week, depending on the growth rate. Never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, and keep your mower blades sharp. Set a consistent watering schedule that complements local weather patterns to keep your grass hydrated without overdoing it.
