How To Get Your Property Prepared This Spring

Everyone knows when a person is or isn't maintaining their lawn properly. An untended yard has long grass, leaves, weeds, and all sorts of things a well tended yard does not have. We all know that this looks bad, but sometimes we can't help but let the grass grow a little too long or the leaves to build up a little too high.

Yard work is time intensive and for allergy sufferers, it can be quite sickening. In this article I'll teach you how to get your yard work done quicker so that you can spend more time doing the things you like to do. You'll even learn about the important tools that you can use to make the job even easier.

Firstly, whether you have a small or a large yard, you will get your yard work done faster by taking advantage of new technology. Leaf vacuums in conjunction with a leaf mulcher will always perform better than rakes and plastic bags. The same goes for gas and electric powered lawn mowers versus unpowered push motors.

Once spring hits, you'll need to be equipped with the latest garden tools and garden gloves to help you eliminate weeds. Make sure this is done as soon as you can, and immediately lay down a thick layer of mulch or garden rugs. It is good to lay your mulch down early as this will help keep more weeds from growing in your garden. Wood chippers as well as a good leaf mulcher will aid you in the creation of mulch.

When summer comes upon us, the main job our lawn gives us is simply to keep the garden beds free of weeds and to mow the lawn. Just keep in mind that you do not want to cut your grass down too short during the dry season. Avoid doing this by raising the height of your mower's blades. Longer grass will not burn up and die like shorter grass.

As soon as the fall season hits us, we need to start collecting falling leaves. Use a leaf vacuum in conjunction with a leaf mulcher to take care of your leaves. With these tools you won't need to concern yourself with bagging leaves or bringing them to the street for pickup.

I have been doing lawn work for decades and have put to use many different tools to make things much simpler.To read assessments on a few good yard resources like the leaf mulcher, shredder, and leaf vacuum, you can check out my blog.
