Keeping your Naples yard pristine takes year-round effort, so follow our calendar for common landscaping projects all four seasons.

Spring

• Lawn Care: Mowing season begins around April 1.
• Planting: Annuals can add color to your yard.
• Mulch: There’s nothing like the smell of new mulch. Freshen up your garden. 
• Irrigation: Install a drip irrigation system throughout your garden beds.
• Hardscaping: Is your old paver walkway uneven and cracked? Spring, summer, and fall are perfect for a redo.
• Fencing: Time to install the chain link fence around your new dipping pool. Spring, summer, and fall are perfect for installing a new vinyl fence.
• Landscape Lighting: Install path lights to accent your new natural stone walkway. 
• Shrub Pruning: Early spring.

Summer

• Lawn Care: Mowing picks up during the rainy season.
• Irrigation: Follow Naples’ watering guidelines.
• Fencing: Power wash your vinyl fence if it’s green with mold. 
• Landscape Lighting:  Clean all lenses in your lighting fixtures so your uplights will shine brightly.

Fall

• Lawn Care: Keep up your mowing schedule, but adjust for extended rainy periods.
• Leaf Cleanup: Blow or rake your leaves or hire a local leaf removal crew.
• Planting: This is a great time to plant perennials, shrubs, and trees.
• Mulch: Replace or spread new mulch. 
• Irrigation: Clean your sprinkler heads to ensure good water flow.
• Hardscaping: Be mindful of extended periods of wet weather, but projects such as paver patios and stamped concrete need dry conditions.
• Landscape Lighting: Install spotlights to highlight your flowering trees.
• Fencing: Fall is still a great opportunity to fence your property. 

Winter 

• Landscaping Projects: These projects can continue as long as the weather cooperates. (Soil temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and no prolonged periods of wet weather.)
• Shrub Pruning: This is best performed in late winter or early spring.
