Spring is a wonderful time of the year. Flowers are blooming, and there is greenery everywhere. Whether you want to maintain your backyard on your own or enjoy a professional service like Lola’s Landscape, be sure to take care of your yard, so it looks in its best condition.

Everyone wants to have a fresh, healthy, and green lawn, but unfortunately, there are some common mistakes that people make that can lead to a lot of issues. Here are some of the most common issues that people face when it comes to maintaining their backyards during Spring:

1.    Planting in the Wrong Location

There are many aspects of planting that people usually ignore. Every plant has different sunlight and shade needs. Also, never plant too close to the main building of your house. These are some things that you need to be mindful of if you want your lawn to bloom. Soggy patches in the lawn are not very suitable for plants because they like to stay dry. Similarly, plants that need sunlight will not fare very well in the shade of your house. These plantation mistakes are common, and you should educate yourself about the needs of different plants to make sure you have a healthy lawn.

2.    Poor Research

This is probably the biggest pitfall that most homeowners fall into. You can resolve almost any issue on your lawn with proper research. Being prepared is always going to help make sure that you don’t make mistakes. Enlisting the help of a professional landscaper is always recommended.

3.    Too Much Decoration

A well-decorated lawn looks amazing but excessive amounts of anything can be bad. It can be very tempting to throw lawn ornaments left and right, but they can cause serious issues for your grass and plantation. You should decorate your lawn with beautiful plants rather than adding excessive embellishments. Make sure that you don’t go overhead with decorations.

4.    Cutting the Lawn Grass Too Short

The smell and look of freshly-cut grass can be amazing, but it might not be the best idea to get the close-cropped look too often. If the grass is kept too short for too long, it can lead to many issues such as heat damage, drought, weeds, and many others. Make sure that your lawn is properly maintained and the grass is cut to the appropriate height.
