It’s usually just too wet and cold, so it’s completely understandable how you’re going to be limited. Who would want to stand outside in the cold just to clean up the lawn? That stuff can be easily done in the warm months, right? Regardless of whether or not you primp your lawn every month or not is completely up to you.

But what really matters is the fact that you go through it and do it.  So where do you get started on it? Why? Well, not only will it make your property look a lot more welcoming, but it’s going to boost the property value too! These are some helpful tips on how you can get your yard looking neat and tidy for the warmer months ahead!

Get to pruning!

If you want to make sure that your plants get a lot of growth, especially flowers, then you can’t be afraid to do some pruning here and there. So when should these be pruned? Around late winter or early spring. If you want to get the most out of your garden, especially during the warmer months then you need to do this as this is going to allow the plant to channel its energy into growing beautiful flowers, fruit, and so much more.

Be very aggressive with weeds

Weeds are a gardener’s worst nightmare. While weeds are essentially everywhere, even the most primmed and proper of lawns, they need to be taken care of. So how can you do this? By getting aggressive! As the daylight increases, it calls for more weeds, the roots will strengthen and the weeds will spread. You don’t want this, which is exactly why you need to start early. So what can you do?

• Use herbicides
• Skip spring fertilization
• Fight it with strong plants
• Avoid overwatering
• Take some time to pull out where
• Mulch flower beds with weeds

These are a few ways that you can work towards eliminating pesky weeds in your garden.

Regularly clean out your pool

If you’ve looked online at beautiful backyards that scream “oasis”, what are some things they have in common? This could include palm trees and other warm climate trees, a pool, and vibrant flowers, right? When it comes to the pool, they’re always clean right?  You can have the prettiest garden but a dirty pool can instantly destroy the illusion of paradise. No one wants to swim in a dirty pool and nobody wants to look at a dirty pool either. That’s why you need to invest in some good pool cleaners as they can make your pool look sparkly clean.

Regularly cut your grass

Unless you’re going for a cottage aesthetic, it’s best to keep your grass cut. Not only does trim grass look a lot better, but it also makes your home look a lot more inviting. Besides, depending on how tall the grass gets, it begins to welcome unwanted predators into your garden.
