Spring Clean Up

It may not fully feel like spring yet outside but spring is here! With spring comes new projects including tackling your yard clean up projects! Here are some tips for how to clean up your yard this spring and make it ready for the warmer months:

Remove the Debris – With the wind, snow, and rain you may notice several fallen branches, start your clean-up efforts by collecting the ones that have fallen to your lawn, garden beds, and pathways to avoid future damage.
Rake Dead Leaves and Twigs – Thoroughly rake the yard and garden beds to get rid of any dead leaves or twigs that may keep your grass from absorbing the sunlight.
Prune and Trim – Prune back weatherworn bushes and hedges as well as any perennials that look overgrown. Trim tree limbs and branches that you can reach. For trees you can’t reach, make arrangements to have a professional Omaha tree trimmer take care of the rest.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Spring Clean-Up

Spring clean-up is an essential task, but many homeowners make mistakes that can affect their yard’s health and beauty. Here are more mistakes to avoid:

Cutting Grass Too Short: Mowing too early or too short can stress your lawn. Keep it longer early in the season for better growth.
Skipping Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture and prevents weeds. Don’t skip this step after cleaning up.
Over-Pruning: Prune only dead or damaged branches. Over-pruning can harm plants and reduce blooms.
Neglecting Soil Care: Test your soil and add compost or fertilizer for healthy plant growth.
Using Dull Tools: Make sure your tools are in good condition. Dull blades can make the clean-up harder and less effective.
Ignoring Pests: Check for signs of pests and treat them early to avoid infestations.
Not Planning for Future Projects: Take time to assess your landscaping and plan any new projects during your clean-up.

Avoiding these mistakes will ensure your spring clean-up is successful and sets your yard up for a healthy season.
