Spring Awakening

As the last remnants of winter fade, Cape Cod is ready to bloom—and your estate should be too. But let’s be real: a little more than the typical “spring clean” is needed to make sure your landscape shines.

Welcome Spring on the Cape with a Prepared Landscape

As the last remnants of winter fade, Cape Cod is ready to bloom—and your estate should be too. But let’s be real: a little more than the typical “spring clean” is needed to make sure your landscape shines.

That’s where we come in. This isn’t about just another spring clean-up—it's about ensuring your property receives the white-glove service it deserves.

At CMS Landscape, we provide a personalized approach, covering everything from soil health to hardscape upkeep. We ensure your landscape is impeccably prepped, so you can enjoy the beauty of the season without the worry.

Step 1: Post-Winter Clean-Up for a Fresh Start

Winter leaves behind debris, compacted soil, and dormant lawns. Our comprehensive spring clean-up goes beyond the basics to ensure your landscape thrives.

  • Clearing Debris: We remove all debris, from branches to leaves, to ensure a fresh start.

  • Turf Care Reset: We perform aeration, dethatching, and address soil compaction for a healthier lawn.

  • Pruning: We prune ornamental plants and grasses to foster healthy growth.

Step 2: Soil Enrichment for Optimal Growth

Healthy plants start with healthy soil, so we don’t leave your soil to chance. CMS tests and enriches it with custom amendments, giving your plants a healthier start to their growth spurt.

  • Soil Testing: We assess soil pH and nutrient levels for a tailored fertilization plan.

  • Organic Amendments: Adding compost and organic matter enhances soil structure and moisture retention.

Step 3: Pruning & Preparing Ornamental Plants

We go beyond basic pruning—our goal is to help your plants flourish, while encouraging new growth and maintaining the shape and health of shrubs and ornamental trees.

  • Hydrangea Care: We carefully prune hydrangeas to maximize bloom potential.

  • Shrub Shaping: We trim and shape boxwoods, roses, and other foundation plantings to ensure a refined look.

  • Perennial Division: Overgrown perennials? We’ll split and transplant them for healthier growth.

Step 4: Mulching for Beauty & Protection

Mulch doesn’t just look good—it’s a protective layer that retains moisture and suppresses weeds, all while making your garden look like it’s straight out of a magazine. We apply a layer of premium mulch for:

  • Moisture Retention: Mulch helps prevent evaporation and keeps soil hydrated.

  • Weed Suppression: Our premium mulch reduces weed growth, keeping your plants healthy.

  • Polished Aesthetics: A fresh layer enhances the look of your beds and hardscapes.

Step 5: Irrigation & Drainage System Assessment

An efficient irrigation system is key to maintaining a thriving landscape throughout the season. You’ll hardly notice it’s there—but your landscape will thank you. CMS inspects and optimizes your system to ensure:

  • Even Coverage: We ensure your system delivers consistent water distribution.

  • Leak Detection: We resolve leaks to prevent waste and overwatering.

  • Water Conservation: Efficient systems help protect your investment and the environment.

Step 6: Prepping Hardscapes for Outdoor Living

Spring isn’t just about plants—your hardscape elements deserve attention too. Whether it’s a patio, walkway, or retaining wall, we give your hardscapes the attention they deserve, ensuring they are clean, safe, and polished.

  • Inspection & Cleaning: We clean and inspect your outdoor features, ensuring they're ready for use and entertaining.
