Trim Trees & Prepare for Spring Growth
|
|
Pruning trees and shrubs encourages healthy growth and prevents branches from getting too close to your roof or power lines. Clearing out old growth also helps your yard look neat and ready for spring blooms.

Refresh Your Lawn & Garden
|
|
Rake away dead leaves, pull weeds, and aerate your lawn to help new grass grow. Add compost or mulch to garden beds and consider planting spring flowers or vegetables for a colorful, thriving yard.

Clean & Protect Outdoor Spaces
|
|
Sweep patios, decks, and walkways, then check for any cracks or damage. Power washing can brighten surfaces, and sealing wood decks or fences helps protect them from the sun and dry weather.

Drain Garden Hoses & Shut Off Exterior Water
|
|
Even in LA’s mild climate, it’s a good habit to check hoses, faucets, and sprinkler systems. Drain leftover water, repair leaks, and make sure irrigation is working properly before hotter weather arrives.

Inspect Your Roof & Gutters (Even in Dry Weather)
|
|
Debris and dust can still collect during LA’s dry season. Clear gutters of leaves and check your roof for loose shingles or damage so you’re not caught off guard when the rain does come.
