Upgrading Your Garden at Almost No Cost

Firstly, upgrading your garden won’t happen if you aren’t willing to experiment with landscaping and do yard work. However, we want to offer you our best advice on what it takes to have a long-lasting, beautiful garden.

Maintenance Tasks You Need to Do Before Summer

Spring is the key moment when you should dedicate your time to yard work. Don’t worry, hard work pays off. The summer should be the time when you reap  the fruits of your labor, host garden parties, and relax, surrounded by a beautiful landscape.

Those Maintenance Tasks Will Bring You Long-Lasting Results

Rake your lawn

If your grass is not green enough, you struggle with bare patches of ground or there are few spring sprouts. Spring raking is the solution. You will remove dead or damaged grass, making space for new ones.

Do the clean-up

Don’t allow your garden to look like a cluttered cupboard. You may not look into your cupboard or show it to your guests, but the same can’t be said about the garden. Find time to clean debris, dead branches, unnecessary garden tools, leaves, rocks, or twigs. And then, look at your plants. Do you have annual flowers? They go to the garbage too.

Fertilize

People think it varies from region to region. There’s only partial truth in that. Types of fertilizers vary and how often you should apply them varies. The need to fertilize stays the same for all gardens across the world. A good fertilizer will always improve the quality of your soil. Consequently, your grass will be greener, your plants lusher, and your vegetables bigger.

Tip: Before choosing a fertilizer, conduct a PH test of your soil.

Upgrading Your Garden Landscape to the New Level With New Features

If you’ve done the basic yard work in your garden and you’re still not impressed, consider experimenting with the landscape.

Is there the best time of the year to do it?

April – May are great months. Fall is not a bad idea, but qualified crews can successfully work in mild winter.

The best tips for landscaping

Plan the space for your needs

You probably already know what you are missing to upgrade your garden. Our advice is to find a place for various activities, even in the smallest garden. Do you have a place to meet with friends? Lay down and relax or grow food or flowers? Balance your garden for different purposes. You can:

• add a relaxing space surrounded by trees or flowers
• create a path between two sections
• improve the dining area by building a new patio, outdoor kitchen, or simply changing the garden furniture
• create shade for your comfort
• grow a natural privacy fence

There are many traps you can fall into while you plan a new garden landscape. That’s why expert advice may be irreplaceable. If you’re looking for a service in Saskatoon, check out yard work Saskatoon. A reliable company that can do landscaping for you.

Last But Not Least – DIY Improvements

We know that landscaping is a process. Would you like to see some improvements immediately? Here’s DIY projects you can implement in one afternoon:

Repurpose old tires as plant containers

Spray them with nice, matching color and decorate your walls or fences

Use night-time lightning

Ever thought about decorating a tree with warm or colorful light garlands? Or a patio? It’s worth it!

Add mirrors in your garden to create more space

Yes. That’s the same trick you’re probably using at home. You can use it in your garden too. Porches and patios are great places for creating this illusion. Experiment!
