Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and fresh beginnings. As the weather warms up and the flowers start to bloom, it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your yard for the season.
We’ve curated some of our favorite springtime must-haves to help you get outside and make the most of this beautiful season. (Bonus: You’ll be totally prepared when summer finally arrives!)
1. Flowering Plants
One of the best ways to celebrate spring is by adding some flowering plants to your yard. Whether you prefer colorful annuals like petunias and marigolds or perennials like tulips and daffodils, there are plenty of options to choose from. Flowering plants not only add visual interest to your yard but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which are essential for the health of your garden.

3. Lawn Care Tools
Spring is the perfect time to get your lawn in shape for the season. Make sure you have all the necessary lawn care tools, such as a lawn mower, edger, and trimmer, to keep your yard looking neat and tidy. You can fertilize and water your lawn regularly to encourage healthy growth or plant a no-mow lawn that’s environmentally friendly!

Pro Tip: Want to conserve water? Stop watering your lawn! Grass yellows with a lack of moisture but it doesn’t die; it’s just dormant. When the moisture returns, so will your green lawn.
4. Garden Tools
If you plan on starting a vegetable or herb garden this spring, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. A trowel, cultivator, and garden hose are essential for planting and maintaining a healthy garden. Don’t forget to add some compost or fertilizer to your soil for extra nutrients.
