Mow your lawn
- Mow your lawn when it is dry for best results.
- Use a sharp blade and adjust the mower to cut at a height of about 3 inches.
- Don’t mow too short or too often; this can damage the grass roots and cause them to die back, making it harder for them to recover from drought stress next season.
Trim hedges and shrubs
If you have a lot of hedges and shrubs in your yard, it’s important to trim them regularly. Not only will it help keep the plants healthy, but a good prune can also promote new growth and prevent unwanted branches from growing.
To get started, use a hedge trimmer or loppers to cut away any dead branches. You may also want to thin out some of the overgrown shrubbery if necessary. Next up: trimming! Lay down newspaper or cardboard on the ground underneath where you’re working so that clippings don’t make a mess when they fall onto your lawn or patio area.
It’s important not just for aesthetic reasons either—pruning helps keep air circulating through your plantings so they stay healthy year-round (and avoid those nasty bugs).
Pick up branches and leaves
When you’re cleaning up your yard, there are a few things you need to know about branches and leaves. Branches should be no longer than 2 feet—if they’re any longer than that, the crew will have to cut them down before they can load them up. Moreover, leaves should be no longer than 3 inches and not wet (wet leaves are more likely to clog the vacuum). If you have any questions, call your local professional such as Suffrena Lawn Service.
Remove weeds and vines
As the weather gets warmer, you’ll want to start thinking about removing weeds and vines.
Weeds and vines can be hard to remove yourself, but if you don’t remove them your entire lawn may need to be replaced. Vines will damage your lawn, and weedy grasses like crabgrass will spread in an uncontrolled manner.
Rake up dead grass
If you have dead grass in your yard, it’s important to rake it up before winter. Raking prevents grass from turning into a fire hazard and allows you to use the dead material as mulch or compost. Dead grass is also a natural fertilizer for new lawn growth in the spring, so raking can help improve your lawn’s health and appearance.
Blow off paths, walks, and driveways
Consult a professional Lawn Care Agency
You don’t have to clean your yard yourself. Some people enjoy this type of labor, but it can be expensive and time-consuming. If you don’t have the energy or desire to spend hours pulling weeds and mowing lawns, then hiring someone else can be a great option.
You will save time and energy. A professional job will cost less than doing it yourself—and probably look better too! That’s because only professionals have access to specialized tools like leaf blowers that can make quick work out of even large jobs like clearing out dead leaves from your trees or raking up stray branches after a storm!
Conclusion
There are a lot of things to keep in mind when you’re getting your yard ready for summer. You might have a lot of plants that need pruning or weeds that need pulling, and it could take a while before they look good again. But with the right and professional company like Suffrena Lawn Service, all of these tasks can be taken care of in just one day so that you can enjoy being outside without worrying about what needs doing around the house!
