Gardening Tips for Spring: How to Refresh Your Outdoor Space

As the days get longer and warmer, May is the perfect time to give your garden some much-needed TLC. Whether you're sprucing up the lawn, planting colourful blooms, or prepping your patio for summer BBQs, a few small steps can make a big difference. Here are our top gardening tips for spring  to help your garden thrive.

1. Tidy Up and Clear Debris

Start by removing dead leaves, weeds, and any leftover winter debris. This clears the way for new growth and helps your garden breathe. If you’re short on time or tools, our garden services in Redditch can take care of the hard work for you — from general clean-ups to hedge trimming.

2. Feed Your Lawn

After months of cooler weather, your lawn could do with a boost. Apply a spring lawn feed in early May to encourage thick, green grass. It’s one of the easiest spring gardening tips  that pays off quickly!

3. Get Planting

Now’s the ideal time to plant hardy annuals, bedding plants, and hanging baskets. May offers the perfect balance of warmth and moisture to help them settle in. Think petunias, marigolds, or cosmos for vibrant, long-lasting colour.

4. Mulch Your Flower Beds

A layer of mulch helps lock in moisture, suppress weeds, and gives your garden a neat, tidy finish — it’s a simple step with big impact, especially if you’re aiming for a low-maintenance garden.

5. Clean and Prep Outdoor Areas

Pressure washing patios, cleaning furniture, and refreshing decking instantly lifts the look of your garden. If you’d rather leave it to the pros, we offer reliable garden services in Redditch to get your space summer-ready.

6. Keep an Eye on Pests

May is when many common pests make their first appearance. Look out for aphids and slugs and try eco-friendly solutions where possible.
