In your garden, you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life while sipping coffee in peace.
Getting out into nature on your own can help you de-stress after a long day at the office and give you some much-needed time to think.
Unlike an end-of-tenancy cleanup, maintaining your garden is a continuing process that calls for laborious effort and some basic gardening skills.
You can spare time on Sunday to clean and maintain your garden. Following these simple guidelines can help you maintain a healthy, flourishing garden full of lush greenery:
1. Maintain a Consistent Schedule of Watering and Mowing Your Lawn
It’s essential to keep your lawn looking nice, colorful, and fresh because it’s the first thing visitors will see when they arrive at your home.
Depending on the time of year, you should water your grass anywhere from twice to four times per week, preferably in the early morning or late evening, when evaporation is minimal.
Grass must be watered regularly and then cut when it takes too long.
Mowing the lawn is recommended once it reaches a height of about 5-6 centimeters. However, this varies from month to month.
2. Get Rid of Those Pesky Weeds
Removing weeds is a crucial duty if you care about the health of your garden.
Manually removing weeds from flower beds and raised beds is a must.
Irritating as it may be, there is, unfortunately, no way around it.
The good news is that you can easily spray Roundup or another powerful weed-killer product on the weeds growing between your patio tiles.
3. Reduce the Size of Your Hedges
Tearing down your hedges is not as simple as it sounds.
Due to their rapid development, they require care at least twice a month.
Hedge trimming at the top is OK, but they must be shaped from the sides.
While a good pair of garden shears will get the job done, a hedge trimmer with a telescoping extension will help you achieve a far more professional look for your evergreen wall.
4. Keep It Clean
It’s essential to regularly clean outdoor sculptures, ornaments, and decorations.
They quickly become covered in dust, mold, and moisture and take more work to return to how they looked when first put on display.
You can use the products you already have at home or invest in new ones specifically designed for interior valeting to clean them.
5. Wash Your Outdoor Surfaces
Mud, dust, algae, and mold quickly develop on your patio, deck, driveway, and outdoor furniture. The dirt seeps through the surface and destroys the outdoor features in your yard.
Pressure washing with jet spraying equipment is your best bet to avoid this and maintain a clean surface.
Using only high-pressure water, the technique is both practical and environmentally friendly.
6. Raise the Wind and Blow the Leaves
Maintaining a garden includes cleaning up dead leaves, which is especially important in the autumn when trees are shedding, and more foliage is lying around.
Decomposing leaves quickly creates slick and hazardous conditions on your lawn, path, and deck.
If you don’t have a leaf blower, you can use a garden rake and broom to collect the leaves and clean up your yard.
7. Trim Your Bushes and Shrubs
Maintain a keen eye for any signs of disease or damage on your garden’s shrubs, bushes, and ivy.
It’s important to prune away any dead or dying branches so that the rest of the plant doesn’t get sick.
Maintaining a tidy and attractive yard shouldn’t require a lot of time or effort.
One or two hours every week, split between two separate sessions, is all needed for upkeep.
The remainder of the time, you can host dinner guests or relax in your backyard.
