Cashman Cleaning Tips Spring 2021

April 28, 2021
The spring season is officially upon us and summer will soon follow. This means that today is the perfect day to start your spring cleaning. Your house will thank you, but so will your yard. Many don’t clean their yard but doing so is great for clearing away pests and helping your grass grow healthy and green. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

Start with the Obvious

Instead of worrying about the details right off the bat, start with the bigger stuff. Litter and debris will need to be picked up, whether it’s naturally there or manmade. You should wear gloves during the first comb through to make no germs get onto your hands. There are also some sharp objects which you should watch for on your first go around.

Use a Rake

Instead of taking a once over and moving on, it can be great to use a rake on your yard. Rakes are great for removing not only leaves but a plethora of other dead plants and other unsightly and unwanted debris. Combing your yard with a rake will keep your grass growing all year long.

Pay Attention to Your Garden Beds

Once you’re done with your yard overall, turn to your garden beds. You can use a pair of scissors or small garden shears to pick away at the dead leaves and other debris within your beds and help nurture whatever you have growing. You should also fertilize this area and ensure everything is in tip-top shape for the spring and summer months.

Check your Tools

Your yard and garden aren’t the only things which need to be inspected. You should take a close and thorough look at your tools to make sure they’re still in perfect working order. Look over your lawnmower, hedge trimmer, and whipper-snipper to make sure everything is in peak condition and won’t need to be replaced.

Prune Thoroughly

Your trees and other plant life will always have some dead or dying branches after the winter months. These dying pieces of your plants should be pruned and trimmed so that the overall health of the plants is not affected. Don’t trim to much of the trees or too close to any buds, as these actions may inadvertently kill the plants instead of saving them.

Keep Up with Your Shed

Take a look through your shed and make sure you still have space for all of your tools and that they’re neatly arranged. You can even look into what it takes to build a new shed for next year. Whatever you choose, make sure your shed is meeting all of your yard work needs.
