In order to enjoy a beautiful, thriving garden full of healthy plants, you’re going to need to put in some effort when it comes to garden maintenance. As experts in garden services, Hort Culture provides you with a useful garden maintenance checklist!
Tree Trimming
Tree trimming is not a daily maintenance requirement, but rather something that can be done every few months, or if you see that your branches are becoming unruly, or if you have any dead/dying branches.
Mowing The Lawn
While different types of grass species have different maintenance requirements, most lawns need to be mowed around once a week to keep them neat and tidy. Lawns usually require quite a significant amount of maintenance as they also need regular watering.
Check For Pests
Your garden can easily fall prey to pests. While most insects are actually good for your garden’s ecosystem, it is a good idea to keep an eye out for things like cutworms and other egg-laying insects.
Harvest
There is no point in growing fruit, veggies and herbs if you’re just going to let them go to waste. Not only is harvesting the fruits of your labour beneficial to you (free food), but it also helps keep your garden healthy. Depending on what type of things you are growing in your garden, you could harvest daily or yearly!
Clean Up Debris
Keep your garden neat and tidy by sweeping up leaves and removing dead plants. If you can do this daily, you’ll see that your garden will really begin to shine.
Watering
It goes without saying that the plants and trees in your garden require regular watering, but it is important that you familiarise yourself with the various species you have in the garden and how much water each needs to thrive.
Check for Weeds
Weeds can very quickly take over your garden if you don’t regularly weed it. If you have a lot of weeds, you may need to look into weed killers as a more sustainable solution.
