While spring is not my most favorite time of the year, I am always excited to get a jump start on cleaning up the lawn for spring. I love changing out the flowers, trimming up the bushes and just making it look like a happy home instead of that dead winter look.
So far we’ve got most of the bushes trimmed. Next on the list is getting the flower beds ready with some gorgeous spring colors.
Just in the last few weeks it’s been refreshing to see the grass waking up and our yard starting to turn green again. Our trees are starting to turn fill in, too. We have an apricot tree in the backyard that I saw covered in blooms. I can’t wait to get out there and pick apricots again.
One thing I love is getting the flower beds ready and full of gorgeous spring flowers. I am no gardener, but I can grow periwinkles like nobody’s business in my flower beds. I love heading to the nursery to pick up a variety of colors in pinks and purples and whites. We’ll be doing this soon!
We have a tiny backyard, so we tend to spend most time outside in the front yard since we have a larger corner lot. My kids ride their bikes and scooters around the sidewalk, play in the driveway with chalk, and my husband and I sit out in the yard on spring and summer nights.
We live in a very rural area. Our neighborhood is basically surrounded by fields, and those fields are full of weeds. The dandelion is just terrible, which just goes everywhere. It drives me crazy, and it also means a battle every spring time with the weeds blowing in from those fields and popping up all over our yard. Thankfully, this spring we will use Roundup® For Lawns.
Did you know Roundup has been the #1 weed killing brand for over 40 years? Now there is a new formula you can use in your lawn. We’ve been using Roundup products for years, and I cannot wait to try this new Roundup For Lawns formula. My husband’s going to head out there in a few days and start the weed killing.
There are special Roundup For Lawns formulas depending if you’re in the northern and southern regions of the country, and they are created specifically to handle different grass types. Roundup makes it easy by taking the guesswork out of deciding which product you need, and your local retailer stocks the formula best-suited for the major grass types in your area! However, make sure you double check the approved grass types before using the product.
We have southern grass, so this is the Roundup For Lawns formula for us. It is specifically formulated for sensitive southern grasses such as Floratam and Centipedegrass, so it’s not just a watered down version of the northern formula. I can’t wait to put it to the test on all the dandelion we have around here.

Stay tuned! I’ll have a reveal of our updated spring lawn in just a few weeks! I can’t wait!

My yard is a MESS! My hubby and I really do need to get out there and give it some serious TLC this spring.
First we begin with raking the yard and getting rid of all the dead stuff. Second we always put lime down and usually some new grass seed in areas that need help
I know that I have seen all of the commercials. I also know that doing the lawn there are so many insidious plants that can get in the way of your lawn looking good. I will be curious to see how your lawn turns out.
After the winter, my lawn always looks terrible. Great tips for cleaning up the yard and getting rid of weeds!
Thanks for revealing your updated spring lawn idea.
I love spring, but I hat the yard work. We really have to get moving on ours since we will be having a wedding at the house in a couple of weeks. Thankfully we have very little grass, perks of living on a pine farm.
How cool that the round up is formulated for different parts of the country. I need to get my yard ready for spring.
My yard needs some serious help because of the dog! I do use round-up on the driveway weeds and it works great!
When spring rolls around, I love focusing on the lawn to spruce up our curb appeal. We always get the kids involved in watering and prepping the lawn. Thanks for these tips.
How smart that they make different formulations for different parts of the country! My yard is going to need som TLC once it stops raining every day , and I can’t watit to see some flowers bloom after this long winter!
My yard is a hot mess right now. I desperately need to clean up the bushes and spruce up the mulch! Maybe this is the motivation I need for the weekend!
My husband is super picky about what we put on our lawn, and he only uses Round Up products. We put a lot of work into our lawn and want it to look it’s best.
We have had so much rain in the last few weeks that our lawn is so green and pretty already! I am going to get some roundup for it soon!
Me and my husband have assigned tasks for spring cleaning. I take care of the house, he is responsible for the yard and the garage. Soon as he gets the yard cleaned up, I’m going to start my flower and herb garden again. 🙂
Cleaning up is really one f the things. Good thing someone is there to help you. You kid is your future gardener. 🙂
I am so excited for spring to come, I love getting into the garden! Our grass needs some work this year so this is really helpful!
I wish we had a lan to tend to as we currently live in a townhouse. I always love it when I see homes with nice lawns.
I have SO much work that I need to do in our yard, and the grass is the first place we need to start. It’s a total mess. Thanks for the great tips!
