Colorado Springs Landscaping by Season

Landscaping in Colorado Springs is a four-season endeavor. If you like your yard but want to love it, follow this seasonal calendar of landscaping chores to level up your Colorado Springs yard.

Summer

• Lawn Care: Reduce mowing during prolonged hot, dry conditions unless you can irrigate well. 
• Irrigation: Summer is a good time to set up a sprinkler system for your lawn or add drip hoses in garden beds.
• Landscape Lighting: Install new lighting, except during extended periods of wet weather.
• Fencing: This is a great time to repair, paint, or stain fences.

Fall

• Lawn Care: Stop mowing when the grass stops growing, generally when temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 
• Leaf Cleanup: Blow, rake, or bag leaves. Or, if you prefer, hire a local leaf removal crew.
• Mulch: Spread fresh mulch to protect plants from winter cold.
• Planting: Plant spring bulbs now. Trees can also be planted in September. Cut perennials back. 
• Irrigation: Winterize your system before early October. Blow out any remaining water in your system before temperatures hit 32 degrees Fahrenheit. 
• Hardscaping: Finish installing hardscaping projects before the first frost hits. 
• Landscape Lighting: Install lighting until late September or before the ground freezes. 
• Fencing: Installation, repairs, and painting/staining until late September.

Winter

• Hardscaping: For patios, walkways, and outdoor kitchen areas, take this opportunity to prepare for next spring. Measure your space, select your materials, and create a budget.
• Shrub Pruning: Late winter or early spring.

Spring

• Lawn Care: Resume mowing in mid-March, provided the grass is growing and temperatures are 40 degrees or above.
• Mulch: Add fresh mulch to gardens to protect new growth. 
• Planting: Plant your shrubs and perennials around mid-April, after the last frost. For annuals, wait until after Mother’s Day.
• Irrigation: First, verify that all system components are working correctly and carry out any needed repairs. After that, turn on your sprinkler systems in early to mid-June.
• Hardscaping: Spring is a great time to install patios, walkways, and stone garden walls. To make sure the last frost has passed, wait until after Mother's Day.
