Cleaning up your yard is an exciting and rewarding endeavor. As you work through your annual outdoor cleaning, be sure to make time for the following yard cleanup tasks.
Tree Trimming
Tree trimming Stonington CT is a big endeavor, but fortunately it generally only needs to be completed every three to five years. Small trees are easy to prune on your own, but large tree trimming and thinning should generally be left to the professionals. In any case, this essential work will encourage healthy growth, remove dead branches and help make the tree less hazardous during stormy or windy weather. Some trees can be pruned any time of year, while others are best pruned after flowering season or perhaps at the close of that year’s growth season, so be sure to time the trimming accordingly.
Lawn Cleanup
Frequent lawn cleanup will keep your yard looking beautiful no matter what the season. Dead grass, pinecones and leaves should be regularly removed, which will ensure that your grass can grow thick and lush while also preventing problems such as mildew. Consider applying a lawn-specific fertilizer once or twice a year to keep it looking green and vibrant.
Weed Prevention
Weeds are a pesky problem in any yard, but there are a number of ways to keep them from popping up in the first place. In landscape and garden beds, make use of weed cloth or mulch to keep weeds at bay. On lawns, apply preemergent herbicides or try utilizing natural weed-prevention solutions (such as corn gluten) early in the year, before weed seeds have a chance to germinate.
Regular yard cleanup can take time, but the investment is worth it. With a little bit of extra attention given to these areas of your yard, you can ensure that your landscape looks beautiful all year long.
