Spring is the season of new blooms and fresh new growth. Without proper garden care and deep cleaning, your garden won’t grow optimally. Dead plants and debris can block out all the desperately needed sunlight and can end up smothering new growth. It also isn’t easy to spot new growth under a layer of dead plant matter.
If you want your garden to spring back to life after the long winter, then it is best to hire professional gardeners in Melbourne. Let’s take a look at how these professionals can help elevate your outdoor spaces.
What Good Spring Garden Cleaning Looks Like
There is a big difference between casual cleaning and a thorough garden deep cleaning session. Here is a quick look at what professional all-inclusive garden cleaning and care looks like.
Removing Winter Debris
Even though spring is on the horizon, winter’s effect is still all too apparent. Right now, your garden could still have plenty of leaves, fallen branches, and other types of dirt scattered about. Old mulch and accumulating debris might be smothering the emerging plants and can lure pests to your garden. Removing all of this green waste will allow sunlight to reach the soil, will oxygenate your plants, and will make your garden look fresher.
Unwanted Plant Removal
Take some time to identify any plants in your garden that you no longer want. Removing these plants and any growth that didn’t survive the winter, will help clear some space for new healthy growth and will keep garden beds from looking dull and dead.
Pruning and Cutting Back
Spring is the best time to hard-prune all of the plants in your garden. Pruning right now will trigger lots of lush growth, so your spaces will become vibrant green within the following weeks. It is best to get your plants, shrubs, and trees pruned professionally. A good prune will remove damaged and infected stems and will make your entire garden look more groomed.
Weed Spraying
Right now is a good time to start focusing on weeding. Spraying weed deterrents in areas like walkways or spaces where you don’t want any growth will keep unwanted plants from popping up, so you won’t have to do too much garden maintenance.
Fertilise Your Lawn
Spring is the prime time to fertilise your lawn. Fertilising right now will give your lawn the energy it needs to regenerate and will make the entire lawn look a lot healthier and greener.
Increase Mowing Frequency
During winter, you might have started scaling down on mowing services. It is best to return to a more frequent mowing schedule of once a week because grass has the fastest growth rate during spring. Professional lawn mowers also use techniques that can thicken your lawn and help it spread out more evenly, so your lawn will look even better. Gardeners will, of course, also clear away all grass clippings, so you won’t have to struggle with cleanup issues when these clippings get blown all over your property.
