What Happens If You Neglect Weeding?
If you don’t pull weeds, they can quickly take over your landscape, competing with your grass and garden plants for essential resources like water, sunlight, and nutrients. Weeds are aggressive growers and can crowd out healthier, more desirable plants, leading to a patchy, stressed, and less attractive yard.
Over time, certain weeds can even alter soil chemistry or attract pests, making it harder for your landscape to thrive. Many weed species also spread through seeds or underground roots, so leaving them unchecked allows them to multiply rapidly, making future removal much more difficult and time-consuming.
Regular weeding helps maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem in your yard and prevents small problems from becoming overwhelming.
How Can Your Landscape Benefit From Mulching?
Mulching involves spreading a layer of organic or inorganic material over the soil surface in your landscape. Common organic mulches include shredded bark, wood chips, leaves, and compost, while inorganic options include rubber or stone.
This layer acts as a protective blanket over the soil, helping to regulate temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weed growth. In garden beds, around trees, or along pathways, mulch serves both a functional and aesthetic role by creating clean, finished edges and reducing the need for constant maintenance.
The benefits of mulching extend well beyond appearance. A properly mulched landscape helps conserve water by slowing evaporation from the soil, which is especially helpful during dry spells. It also reduces weed competition by blocking sunlight, meaning fewer invasive plants steal nutrients from your desired plants. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with valuable nutrients, improving soil structure and health over time.

How Soon Is Too Soon for Spring Yard Clean-Up?
Jumping into yard clean-up too early in the spring can actually do more harm than good. While it’s tempting to get outside as soon as the snow melts, the soil and plants need time to thaw and stabilize. Disturbing your lawn or garden beds while they’re still wet or partially frozen can compact the soil and damage new growth just beginning to emerge.
Here are a few signs it might still be too early to start your spring clean-up:
- The ground is still soggy or soft: Walking on wet soil can cause compaction, which restricts root growth and water absorption.
- Frost is still appearing in the mornings: Freezing temperatures can damage newly exposed plant shoots or tender buds.
- Plants haven’t started sprouting yet: If there’s no visible growth, the ecosystem is still in winter mode and needs more time to wake up.
- Insects and pollinators are still dormant: Leaving leaf litter and dead stems for a bit longer helps protect overwintering beneficial insects.
- Snow piles are still lingering: Wait until all snow has melted and the ground has had time to drain before beginning major yard work.
