How to Clean Up Your Landscape?

Start with removing Debris

One of the first things to do while cleaning up your yard is by removing rubbish. Look for dead leaves and grass, faecal matter of dogs and cats, dead stalks and other litter. This part may sound somewhat unpleasant, but it is an important step towards a beautiful landscape.

Prepare Mulch from Plant Debris

All the dead stalks and leaves can be chipped into smaller components by using a shredder or a chipper. These shredded parts can then be converted into useful mulch or compost for gardening. The ones that cannot be converted to mulch should be right away discarded in trash bags or garbage cans.

Groom your Plants

While out-of-shape plants look quite unwelcoming to guests, the same is also not considered healthy for the other plants. Make sure to shape your plants so that they do not cause hindrance to growth for each other. Also prune diseased plants or plant parts so that healthy ones get the sunlight and nutrients to grow.

Prepare Plant Beds

You might already have some mulch from the debris that you collected while cleaning your lawn. Use that compost to layer your plant beds to ensure making up for replenished nutrients from the soil.

Also make sure to remove weeds from plant beds as they act as parasites on healthy plants. Do the same for plants on garden paths. You may also want to opt for chemical fertilizers.

Ensure Proper Finishing Touches for a well-planned Landscape

You may choose to add new plants and pots to replace the ones that wore off. You should also consider using enclosures for your trash cans, clean the fence and drainage gutters and repair gates.

These will enhance the beauty of your lawn and make it worth your hard work and time that you put in cleaning it up. You must also take equal care in maintaining your gardening tools by regularly cleaning and sharpening them.

A beautiful lawn looks warm and welcoming and enhances the beauty of your house. It is thus important for you to regularly and diligently take care of your plants and foliage to help them grow and bloom better.
