Get your garden and landscaping projects spring-ready with this practical, product-led to-do list.
Spring is fast approaching — and whether you're tackling a small backyard tidy-up or managing large outdoor landscaping jobs, preparation is everything. A well-timed start means better results, fewer delays, and a more enjoyable growing season ahead.
To help, we’ve created a simple, effective checklist that covers everything from soil prep and drainage to lawn care and planting zones. Every item links naturally to the trusted landscaping products available from The Landscape Centre.
Start by clearing fallen leaves, weeds, and any leftover winter debris.
Tip: Use bark mulch to suppress new weed growth and lock in soil moisture. It also gives borders a clean, professional look.
Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful garden.
Check for compaction, drainage issues, or nutrient loss.
Top up with screened topsoil or black gold topsoil for improved structure and fertility.
If your garden suffered with pooling water or muddy areas over winter, now’s the time to fix it.
Use pipe bedding sand to support underground drainage pipes, soakaways, or raised bed installations.
Tidy garden edges and clear pathways help create a clean spring look.
Use grit sand beneath edging blocks or decorative stone to create a neat finish and prevent shifting.
Patchy lawn? Consider returfing or overseeding.
Our sports turf is perfect for high-traffic areas and family-friendly spaces.
Prep with topsoil or rootzone for strong rooting and fast recovery.
Stone paths, gravel zones, and seating areas can get messy after winter.
Refill or top up with lime stone, plum slate, or Staffordshire pink decorative gravel to bring brightness and structure back into the garden.
