Spring is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor spaces and prepare your garden for the warmer months ahead. At Soft Gardens, we specialise in creating and maintaining beautiful landscapes across Surrey and Hampshire. Here are our top spring landscaping tips to help you make the most of your garden this season.

1. Clean Up Your Garden

Start by removing any debris, dead leaves, or fallen branches that have accumulated over the winter. This will give your garden a fresh start and prepare it for new growth. Don’t forget to clean out flower beds and borders to make room for spring planting.

2. Aerate and Feed Your Lawn

Spring is the ideal time to aerate your lawn to improve drainage and allow nutrients to reach the roots. Follow this with a high-quality fertiliser to encourage healthy, lush growth throughout the season.

3. Prune Shrubs and Trees

Pruning is essential in spring to remove dead or damaged branches and promote healthy growth. Focus on shaping shrubs and trees while they’re still dormant or just beginning to bud.

4. Refresh Your Planting Schemes

Add vibrant spring flowers like tulips, daffodils, and pansies to brighten up your garden. Consider incorporating native plants that thrive in Surrey and Hampshire’s climate for a sustainable touch.

5. Mulch Your Beds

Apply a layer of mulch to your flower beds and borders to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health. Mulching also gives your garden a neat, polished appearance.
