Seasonal Garden Maintenance That Will Get Your Garden Shining All Year Round!

Spring is the most popular time to garden, but if you take care of your Adelaide garden, it can do well all year. Expert gardeners from Guaranteed Garden Services know that each season's plants need a different garden maintenance plan to do well. Create a plan that works with, not against, the weather conditions to achieve four-season gardening success.

Guaranteed Garden Services knows that your plants in Adelaide need four different maintenance plans for each season to look their best all year. That's why our expert gardeners develop unique ways to care for the garden each season.

Winter

Because of the cold weather and stiff or waterlogged soil, winter garden maintenance focuses more on protecting your garden and existing plants than planting new ones.

Uneven ground temperature is one of the biggest threats to your Adelaide garden in the winter. A thick layer of freshly spread mulch will insulate the soil.

Just like mulch, snow piles can also be an excellent soil insulator. Be aware, though, that heavy snow piles and the freezing temperature can cause the branches of sensitive trees to snap. You should use a broom to regularly brush snow off the branches.

Spring

As the ground warms up, it will be time for your Adelaide garden to recover from the harsh winter conditions. Remove any leftover snow and clean up all the dead or broken branches. Monitoring the weather report and watching out for late frosts or early hot, dry spells is also essential.

If the soil is drying out quickly, this is an indication that your garden needs deeper watering and fertilisation sessions.

To revive the weak grass and repair dead patches, dethatch, aerate the lawn, and use a spring fertiliser.

Summer

With the frost behind you, preparing for the hot, dry weather should top your list of summer garden maintenance. Water your garden as much as needed early in the morning. Otherwise, the water will evaporate quickly.

During the summer, your grass will grow faster. Mow as much as you need to. Do not remove more than one-third of the grass height at once; let your grass grow taller to withstand the heat and the drought.

Any weeds should be uprooted before they multiply. You should also check regularly for insects or plant diseases. Proper garden maintenance allows you to extend your Adelaide summer garden well into the autumn.

Autumn

Seize this season before the soil becomes too hard or frosty. Rake as many autumn leaves as needed and compost them. If diseased plants, leaves, or weeds were not removed entirely from your Adelaide garden, the same disease could recur in the upcoming spring.

Overseed lawn areas that need it and repair them with fall grass fertiliser. Before the first frost, harvest any vegetables.
