Many non-flowering shrubs, trees and woody plants respond well to spring pruning, which cleans up their appearance. Flowering shrubs typically aren't pruned heavily until after they finish blooming, although you can trim out dead and damaged branches. Cut back dead perennials that were left in the yard for winter interest, such as coneflowers (Echinacea spp.) or ornamental grasses, to within a few inches of the ground before new growth begins. Pull up any dead annuals still remaining in the yard.

Yards collect debris over the winter months, including fallen leaves, dead grasses and other detritus that blows in. Rake up collected debris from the lawn and garden beds and dispose of it or compost it. Piles of debris left on the lawn can kill the emerging spring grass beneath it and also provide a nesting site for slugs and insect pests. Rake when the grass is dry, otherwise the rake may pull the grass out of the soft, wet soil.

Winter mulch that protected perennials looks ragged come spring. It often washes or blows from the bed. Pull old mulch away from the base of of trunks and stems so a small space remains between the plant and the mulch layer. Rake blown mulch back into its proper location. Spread fresh mulch over garden beds to replenish the old layer and maintain a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Remove old sheets of plastic mulch from annual garden beds and replace with new before planting. Plastic mulch usually only survives for one year before it tears, becomes ragged and needs to be replaced.

Aerating and overseeding your lawn is a powerful combination to create a lush green lawn. The process of aeration allows oxygen, water and vital nutrients to penetrate the root system of grass. Aerating also reduces thatch build-up; while, preventing compaction to lawn areas, which are of particular concern in Oregon. Overseeding is beneficial because it thickens and strengthens your existing lawn. This aids in reducing risk of lawn disease as well as weed germination. Routine aerating and overseeding ensures a healthy lawn; while a neglected lawn will thin out over time and become patchy with many weeds inter-mixed
