It’s been a rough winter. You’re ready to dust off that patio furniture, set up the grill and call some friends over to enjoy your yard. Unfortunately, cold weather and a harsh winter may have made a bigger mess on your property than you want to deal with. Check out these five spring clean-ups that will make your yard the envy of the block.
Clearing Leaves, Branches, and Clutter
Long, harsh winters can bring fallen trees and branches, all piled atop a layer of those last fallen fall leaves you may have missed. Clearing large debris is a big job. Depending on the size of the trees and the amount of broken branches you have on your property, you may need special equipment to clear it and haul it out of there safely. Clearing these large items is the first step in spring clean-up.
Pruning and Trimming Trees, Bushes, and Shrubs
Along with fallen trees and branches, comes unruly shrubs. Unmanaged growth that occurs throughout the colder months can leave trees, shrubs, and bushes on your property looking like a gnarled and tangled mess. Having a professional come in and trim back these parts of your property not only neatens up the look of your home for spring, it also encourages fresh new, growth that will give your trees, shrubs, and bushes a new life for the warmer seasons.
Reseeding Damaged Areas of The Lawn
Throughout the winter months, a layer of leaves that may have fallen at the very end of fall and then been covered in snow, can smother out grass and kill certain sections. When this happens, spring rolls around and reveals a patchy lawn with areas that are bare or brown. These areas can be reseeded and can grow again, giving you back your lawn made of fresh, even, green grass.
Cleaning Garden Beds
Spring is a time for planting and growing. Whether you grow vegetables, flowers, herbs, or a combination of all three, you’ll need clean garden beds to get started. The best growth starts with freshly aerated soil that has been cleared of old debris. Having your garden beds professionally cleared of last year’s fallen leaves, trash that may have gathered, and any other unwanted materials, gives you the best foundation in which to start growing this year’s plantings.
Re-Defining Lawn Borders
Throughout the winter, the edge of your lawn has probably become overgrown. Weeds, roots, straggly edging plants, and other overgrowth that have made their way to your driveway or sidewalks can be edged, trimmed and re-defined, giving your property a clean, sharp, and well-maintained look all season.
