Spring Landscaping Priorities: What to Focus on Right Now
As spring gets into full motion, now is the time to stay ahead of key landscape tasks that set the stage for a healthy, vibrant property through the summer months. Property Managers and Homeowners alike, take note—here are the spring items that should be your top priorities right now…
Seasonal Flowers & Bed Refresh
Crabapple is in the midst of installing spring flowers on properties throughout Georgia. If you haven’t decided on your spring designs, now is the time to do it. Spring flowers add instant color and curb appeal. Make sure flowerbed irrigation is fully operational before installation. Adding fresh pine straw or hardwood mulch also helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Irrigation System Inspection
If your irrigation system hasn’t been checked yet, schedule an inspection now. Winter freezes can cause broken heads, leaks, or clogged lines that impact coverage and plant health.
Lawn Cleanup & Weed Control
Remove leaves and debris to allow sunlight to reach turf and encourage healthy growth. Early-season weed control is critical—pre-emergent herbicides should be applied before soil temperatures rise to prevent invasive weeds.

Pruning & Planting
Now is the time to prune winter-blooming shrubs like camellias and plant native favorites such as azaleas and oakleaf hydrangeas. Proper pruning and fertilization protect valuable landscape assets that take years to establish.
Turf Care, Aeration & Soil Health
Crabapple’s team of experts has been actively working since February to prepare turf for the spring and summer growing season. This includes early weed prevention, soil preparation, and monitoring turf health as temperatures begin to rise. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia should be scheduled for aeration in May and June to improve root development, reduce compaction, and support stronger turf performance through the heat of summer.
Retention Ponds & Drainage
Spring is ideal for scheduling retention pond cleanings and evaluating drainage or erosion concerns before heavy summer rains arrive.
Plan Spring Enhancements Early
Spring enhancement schedules fill quickly. If you’re considering drainage improvements, walls, pond work, or landscape upgrades, now is the time to get on the schedule.
Staying proactive this spring helps protect your landscape investment and ensures your property looks its best throughout the growing season.
