As we near the end of the spring season, you should have checked off quite a few items from your yard work and landscaping to-do list.
Plan your projects
All of your big outdoor projects for the year should be planned and ready to go. Have you confirmed these projects with any contractors to make sure you are at the top of their schedules?
Test your irrigation system
Contact the company that installed your well and irrigation system to have them test and schedule any irrigation system repairs before summer begins. If you planned to install a new irrigation system this year, you missed the ideal window of early spring while the group is softer. Check with the irrigation company to see if you still have time to replace your system before summer.
Plan your lawn care
Start mowing your lawn when you first notice new growth. Bring your lawnmower by Thompson Rental Services for any repairs, or contact your lawn maintenance service to ensure you are on their schedule. Now is also a great time to fertilize your lawn as well as overseed to repair brown or bare spots.

Freshen your mulch
Add a layer of mulch around any new plants once the ground warms up to discourage weed growth and retain moisture in the dry summer months. If you have old mulch in your beds, remove it and replace it with fresh mulch to minimize unwanted pests around your plants.
Clean your outdoor space
Clean and maintain any wooden decks or porches; lubricate or replace rusty latches and hinges on your doors or fences; refresh any areas with gravel; repair any broken outdoor lighting fixtures.
Taking the time to plan for the summer months will help you enjoy your outdoor space and keep you from completing many of these repairs on the hottest days of the year.
