Top Garden Maintenance Tips for the UK Spring
It is the best time to explore the city’s parks, commons and city
farms, as nature awakens once again and days get longer. And, you know what
that means! Now’s the perfect time to get started on your Spring Garden Cleaning and maintenance.
While you’re at it, here we share with you some of the Top
Spring Garden Maintenance Tips to help to get started:
1. Clean-up
the Area:
Get around your yard and pick up the litter, dog
waste, and larger plant debris (like fallen branches) left behind over the
winter. Be sure to use a pair of gloves and beware of broken glass. Leaving
debris on your lawn long after the snow has melted can prevent new, healthy
grass from growing in.
2. Prepare the
Soil:
Once the snow is all gone, prepare your soil. A
nutrient-rich, well-drained, weeded, and loosened (non-compacted) soil is very
important for a garden to grow at its best. Take the time to enrich your soil
with quality compost or other organic matter before you plant each spring if
you want to boost your soil’s fertility and your garden’s production. Mulch
(like leaves, straw, and hay) also adds valuable nutrients to the soil and will
cut down significantly on your need to weed.
3. Rake your
Lawn:
You may have thoroughly raked your lawn before the
winter to prevent snow mould. But giving it another good rake once the snow
melts will help get rid of any remaining dead leaves, twigs, and pine-cones and
help keep your lawn nice and healthy going into the spring.
4. Clean-up
Garden Beds:
5. Inspect
your Tools:
It’s a good idea to carefully inspect your landscaping
tools (like your lawnmower, and your hedge trimmer) and clean them up before
growing season hits in full force. Make sure all blades are sharp and
rust-free, look for cracks and other signs of wear in visible belts, and if
everything looks like it’s in good shape, swap out used oil for new oil and follow
the maintenance directions in the owner’s manual.
6. Prune Trees
and Shrubs:
Now, do you want your garden tools, seeds and
accessories in one place? Installing a garden shed this spring is a better
choice. Get our experts help in learning what’s involved in installing a new

landscaping company like London Garden Services.
