Cleaning Up Your Yard
The urge to clean one’s home or office building always seems to surface in the spring. Perhaps it’s because the warm weather exposes the yard’s accumulated dirt and debris. You can expect your garden to grow and blossom once more after winter. But you need to stick to a strategy for that to occur. Exactly what entails a landscape cleanup?
The first order of business is to clean up the garbage accumulated over the winter, such as dead grass, fallen leaves, broken branches, and other trash. Raking the lawn and cleaning out flower beds of debris and dead plants is a service to the garden. By doing so, you will increase the soil’s exposure to sunlight and airflow, reduce the growth of mold and weeds, and boost the health of your plants overall.
If you plan on hiring a landscaper to cut back your bushes and hedges in the spring, you can wait for the technician to finish and then clean up the mess they leave behind. An arborist’s work at this time of year will likely result in many discarded limbs.
Once this is done, you can arrange a time to clean the gutters. Yard work isn’t the only kind of spring cleaning. Now is the time to clean the gutters and ensure they can adequately drain rainwater. Ensure the drains are open, remove debris with a garden trowel, and give everything a good rinsing with the hose.
Garden fertilizer or mulch can be applied, and the lawn can be aerated after the yard has been cleared of all dead plants, branches, and other debris. Before applying fertilizer, it is wise to have the soil tested so that you know what kind to purchase.
