When to Remove Grass and Weeds

You can do this project in the spring or in the fall. 

1. The best time in the fall to give your soil time to recover and get nourished by organic amendments (compost) over winter into spring.

2. However, if it’s already spring and you want to start a garden immediately, see our “quick version” further down this page. 

You can do it all just prior to planting, too, but you may have more weeds pop up over the season.
