While spring and summer may feel like the only times you need to visit your local Connecticut patio store, any season is the right time to make some improvements to your landscape. There are ideal landscaping projects for each season, and your local patio store can help you with all of your ideas.

Spring

Spring is the most popular time of year to make changes to your landscape because it’s finally turning warm and the days are slowly getting longer. There still might be a chill in the air though (especially if you’re up north), so adding a firepit to your patio can help you extend those early spring evenings. There are different types of fire pits though and your Connecticut patio store can help you identify  whether a gas vs wood firepit is the right fit for your backyard.

Mid- to late spring is a great time to add more mulch to your landscape. Even though you laid mulch to protect the soil from the winter weather, that mulch has been put to the test. Freshen up your yard with a fresh layer of mulch. Laying the mulch later in the spring allows your soil time to warm. Laying mulch too early in the spring can hinder the growth of your grass and greenery.

Summer

Summer is the time to make the most out of your Connecticut outdoor living space. If you’re looking for a quick way to get the most out of your back yard, then head on over to your local Connecticut patio store! You can upgrade your patio by having a standard grill item installed. This is a hassle-free way to upgrade the look and use of your backyard. Most standard grill orders can be delivered next day – so even last-minute decisions don’t have to hold up your weekend plans.

If you’re gearing up for fall and want a quick project to change up the look of your yard, decorative stone may be the way to go. You can easily add walkways and borders to your existing landscape. Decorative stone will enhance the look of your landscape with little effort. Haynes has a wide variety of decorative stone to choose from to give your landscape a unique feel.

Fall

Fall is a great time to check your irrigation and drainage systems. Your Connecticut patio store will have all the necessary materials to repair or upgrade your current system. The professionals can also help you create an irrigation or drainage system to keep your yard in top shape.

When preparing for winter it’s time to, you guessed it, lay new mulch again! Laying mulch to prepare for the winter can help maintain your lawn’s health. It also protects the soil from eroding during the winter months and keeps the temperature of the soil more consistent. For greener grass in the spring, lay mulch now!

Winter

Winter lawn care is just as important as lawn care throughout the rest of the year. Prepping your yard for the winter will save you money in the long run. Prep your lawn furniture by cleaning and storing your furniture in a way that will keep it away from the winter elements. Properly drying your lawn furniture before storing it will help prevent mold and mildew from growing during the winter.

Another important step of winter lawn care is cleaning and sealing your patio before it becomes too cold. Patio stones can have small debris stuck throughout the cracks in the patio. This can cause wear and tear, especially as your patio is exposed to the harsh winter weather. Sealing your patio will extend the longevity and beauty of your patio so that you can enjoy it for years to come.
