Basic garden maintenance involves a series of regular tasks to keep your garden attractive and growing robustly.
Pruning and Deadheading: Pruning involves removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches and stems. This helps to improve the plant's shape and encourages healthier growth. Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, encourages plants to produce more blooms and extends the flowering season.
Lawn Care: If your garden includes a lawn, regular mowing is important. Keep the mower blades sharp and mow at the recommended height for your grass type. Aerate the lawn to improve water and nutrient absorption if the soil becomes compacted.
General Tidying: We remove debris like fallen branches and leaves to keep the garden tidy and reduce hiding spots for pests. Clean paths and patios to prevent slippery surfaces and maintain the garden's aesthetic appeal.
Regularly performing these basic maintenance tasks can significantly improve the health and appearance of your garden, making it a more enjoyable and rewarding space.
