The garden is dormant for 4 or 5 months over the winter and March signals the time to start preparing the outdoor living space for the eagerly awaited summer. This is the time to get the lawnmower out of storage, and with that in mind, here are a few tasks that need to be completed as the cold weather departs.
- Fencing and Gating – The perimeters of your property will likely require some attention after the long winter, and with a local fencing company at your disposal, they can recommend the best solution. If the timber is still in good shape, staining will restore the fencing to its former glory, while an old fence should be replaced. If you prefer a maintenance free option, there are composite materials that will stand the test of time.
- Patio Decking – If the decking is still in good shape, staining and varnishing will likely be more than adequate. Fortunately, trusted fencing contractors in West Lothian can also treat or replace tired timber decking, and once this has been taken care of, you are almost ready for the long summer days.
- Tree Care – Spring is the ideal time to have the trees pruned, which will prepare them for the next growing season, and by calling in your local arborist, he can make some recommendations on how best to prune the trees.
As soon as the winter has passed, you can get the lawnmower out of storage and prepare the garden for the best season of the year.
