At Lamb's Lawn Service & Landscaping, we understand the importance of choosing the right plants for every season to keep your outdoor space looking beautiful year-round. Our team of experts is here to provide you with the best advice on selecting the right plants that will thrive in each season. Whether you're looking to add some color to your garden in the spring or need plants that can withstand the heat of summer, we've got you covered.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, making it the perfect season to plant a variety of flowers, shrubs, and trees. Some popular spring blooming plants to consider include tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths for a burst of color. For shrubs, lilacs and azaleas are great choices that will add beauty and fragrance to your garden. Spring is also a good time to plant trees, such as dogwoods or magnolias, which will provide shade and interest to your landscape.

As summer approaches and the temperatures rise, it's important to choose plants that can withstand the heat and humidity. Drought-tolerant plants like lavender, yarrow, and sedum are great options for summer gardens. These plants require less water and maintenance, making them ideal for hot summer months. When selecting plants for your summer landscape, be sure to consider the amount of sunlight each area receives and choose plants that are suitable for those conditions.

Fall is a season of transition, as the temperatures cool and the leaves begin to change color. Fall is a great time to plant perennials that will bloom in the spring, such as peonies, irises, and daylilies. Planting bulbs like tulips and daffodils in the fall will ensure a beautiful display of flowers in the spring. Fall is also a good time to plant trees and shrubs, as the cooler temperatures allow them to establish roots before winter arrives.

Winter may seem like a quiet time in the garden, but there are still plants that can provide interest and beauty during the colder months. Evergreen trees and shrubs like holly, boxwood, and arborvitae add structure and greenery to the winter landscape. Ornamental grasses, such as fountain grass and pampas grass, add texture and movement to the garden even when covered in snow. Winter-blooming plants like hellebores and winter jasmine can brighten up a dreary winter day.
