Are you ready for spring?
Spring cleaning doesn’t just include the inside of your closet or under your bed. A big part of your spring cleaning should be spent outside of your home tidying up your outdoor spaces. Spring yard work lets you begin the new season with a nice place to sit outside and relax in the evenings. So where do you begin cleaning up your landscape? Read on to find out!
Lawn Cleanup Tips
Begin your outdoor spring cleaning by cleaning up the debris around your yard. This could include leaves, rocks, twigs, and branches that have fallen around your home during the fall and winter months. If there is a lot of foliage scattered around your lawn, try using a leaf blower or a rake to remove this stuff. In addition to making your yard look neater and promoting new grass, removing this debris will allow your lawn mower to move easier over your lawn.
Plants
When your lawn is taken care of, it is time to move onto the plants in your yard. Continue the cleanup by removing the annual plants from your garden. You should be able to remove them by hand with little effort. It is also important to trim brown, dried parts off of your perennial flowers and ornamental grasses to encourage new growth. Pruning summer-blooming shrubs will also encourage their growth and help them to flourish in the summer months.
Checking Your Fences
After this year’s record snowfall, it will not be unusual to find damage to your home’s fencing. If you notice fallen branches or twigs on the fence, it is important to remove it as soon as possible before it does more damage. Branches and heavy snow fall could have damaged your fence by cracking slats, causing water damage, or breaking boards completely. During your spring cleaning, make sure to replace or repair these problems as soon as possible to keep your entire fence from breaking down.
