How much would it cost to tidy a messy garden?

Spring is around the corner and it’s finally time to roll up the sleeves and put on the garden gloves.

Once spring arrives it’s time to get going with the spring-cleaning. First of all, use a rake or a leaf blower to remove the layers of leaves that can lead to the grass moulding or decaying. The leaves and leftover organic material are an excellent addition to the compost.

Hedges with leaves should preferably be trimmed during the winter or early spring. Conifers are better trimmed during the growing period, once in early spring and once more in the middle of summer.

The lawn needs time to recover after winter, so don’t cut the grass too short the first couple of times. A grass-level of 5-9 centimetres makes for a fine, sustainable lawn, ready to be used.

Make sure your gardening equipment is ready for the new season. Charge what needs to be charged and sharpen what needs to be sharpened.

Once the patio is clean, you’re ready to take out a chair and enjoy the first warm, sunny day with a nice cup of coffee.

To clean it up? It may cost you nothing...just sweat and toil. Get in there and start pitching, raking, and bagging.

Sweat.
