Preparing Your Landscape for the First Day of Spring in Western Washington

March 24, 2026

With spring’s official arrival, homeowners across Renton, Seattle, Bellevue, and the wider Western Washington region are looking to refresh their outdoor spaces and make the most of longer, warmer days. Preparing your landscape now ensures a seamless display of color, health, and curb appeal throughout the season. Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance provides expert advice and hands-on lawn, garden, and hardscape services to get your property in prime shape for the spring surge. Here’s how to get started—rooted in our 45+ years of local landscape experience.


Why Spring Preparation Matters for Pacific Northwest Gardens


The transition from winter to spring is a critical period for turf, trees, shrubs, and ornamental gardens. Cool, wet winters often leave lawns compacted, garden beds messy, and hardscapes covered in debris or moss. If left unwatched, weeds and pests can quickly gain the upper hand once temperatures start to rise. By prioritizing a spring landscape tune-up, you set your garden up for months of lush, healthy growth.
