January is a great month to take inventory of your yard so you can plan out new landscape projects for the year. Think of it as “new year resolutions” for your landscape!
It’s valuable to take the time as we start a new year to reflect on your landscape and think about ways to improve it for the upcoming seasons. Whether you’re hoping to add vibrant color, increase privacy, or simply refresh your outdoor space, it all starts with assessing what worked (and what didn’t) in your garden last year. By following these simple steps, you can set yourself (and your yard) up for success in the coming year.
Step One: Check Plant Health
Start by taking a walk around your property, paying close attention to each plant. Are they thriving or struggling? Look for any signs of disease, pests, or poor growth. If some plants aren’t doing well, make note of them. This will give you a chance to plan for replacements or take action to improve their health. Early identification can prevent larger problems later on, ensuring your landscape stays vibrant and healthy throughout the year.
Step Two: Evaluate Growth
Now that you’ve checked on your plants’ health, it’s time to evaluate their growth. Did your plants grow as expected? Are some areas becoming too crowded, or are certain plants out of control? Take a good look at how each plant is interacting with the space around it. You may find that some plants need to be thinned, moved, or swapped for something that fits the area better. Adjusting your garden layout now will help everything flourish throughout the year.
Step Three: Identify Improvements
Next, consider areas of your landscape that could use a little extra attention. Are there spots in your yard that feel dull or lack color? Would you like to add privacy, attract birds, or create a specific focal point in your garden? Now is the time to think about what plants will best suit your needs and enhance your outdoor living space. Whether it’s a flowering shrub, a tree for shade, or colorful flowers to brighten up a corner, identifying these needs will help guide your planning.
