Yard work never takes a break in sunny Myrtle Beach. Follow this calendar for an outdoor space that is healthy, inviting, and beautiful:

Spring  

• Lawn Care: Mowing season begins when the grass starts growing, typically in early March.  
• Irrigation: Set your system to provide 1 to 1.5 inches of water weekly, including rainfall. 
• Dethatch and Aerate: Dethatching helps the grass absorb nutrients.  
• Planting: Plant shrubs, trees, ground covers, and flower beds.   
• Mulch: Ideal time to add fresh mulch to plants, like around trees.  
• Hardscaping: Cooler weather in the early spring makes it a comfortable time to install hardscapes like paved pathways.

Summer  

• Lawn Care: Raise mower blades to cut grass higher in the summer heat.   
• Irrigation: Give your lawn about 1.5 inches of water, including rainfall. Water deeply. 
• Landscape lighting: Add lighting to provide safety, highlight focal areas, and illuminate for evening events.  
• Fencing: Summer, fall, and spring are the best times to install a fence.

Fall  

• Lawn Care: Gradually lower mowing height the last few mows before winter.    
• Planting: Plant perennials to bloom in the spring.   
• Leaf Cleanup: Use leaves as mulch for the grass and other plants. 
• Hardscaping: Install features like stone walls and patios during the cooler temperatures.     
• Pest Control: Address pest problems, including winter pest prevention.  
• Fencing: Installation and repairs are ideal until the winter weather begins. 

Winter 

• Lawn Care: Mow as needed to keep the grass at the desired or recommended height. 
• Irrigation: Only water when the grass is dry or there is no natural precipitation.
• Pruning: Cut off dead branches from shrubs and trees. 
• Lawn and Leaf Cleanup: Maintain a leaf and debris-free lawn. 
• Fencing: Make any necessary repairs.
