Posted: February 28, 2019 |
A garden is a wonderful addition to any estate that can truly have a positive impact on people's lives. The vibrancy of colors and lavish greenery will calm your mind and lift your spirits, while it will also give a gorgeous curb appeal to your home. In order to be able to fully enjoy your garden, you need to make it nice and clean. And here is how you will achieve just that and build a lush oasis close to your home.
The first step to have a nice and clean garden is to organize the space you dedicated to it. This means that you will have to plan which plants you want to grow and where to place them. The amount of sun your garden is exposed as well as the climate will be an important factor in choosing the plants. However, consider doing some landscaping as well, like building a pathway and creating small hills to add layers to your garden. Use mulch to cover the soil since it will make it tidier and place stones around the edges to give it a more sophisticated look.
Hedges are fairly common in gardens and they add to the lavishness, offer shade and are great for landscaping. In order to have a nice and clean garden, you will have to trim the hedges regularly and even give them a certain shape for landscaping purposes. Also, trim the tree branches reasonably so your plants will get more sun and also to maintain the ground neat. Trimming will also help you keep the trees healthy and also give you a fresh batch of leaves to make compost. Additionally, you will remove old branches and make room for new ones to grow which will keep your trees healthy and thriving.
Modern gardens often use containers and boxes for planting especially if you want to grow different types of plants. A lot of gardeners decide to build planters from various materials like wood, plastic, and even cement. This way you can grow different plants together without worrying they will negatively affect each other. Also, this is a perfect way to maintain a garden in areas where the soil is not fertile or easy to cultivate. If you decide to DIY the planters, play with shapes to create a more interesting design and make your garden unique.
Weeding is an important part of gardening that will protect your plants and keep your garden tidy. From time to time manually remove the weeds, but avoid turning over the soil since that will disturb the fungi and earthworms. Start using mulch which will keep the soil cool and wet so weeds won't be able to grow in such an environment. Perfect mulching ingredients are compost, straw, grass clipping, and wood chips, but the newspaper, cardboard or old bed sheets will also do. Additionally, use the crowding principle of seeding since weeds can’t grow if there isn’t enough room for them.
You will probably have a variety of plants in your garden and each of them may require special care. Knowing their special needs will help you nourish them better and help them grow into healthy plants. However, you should also pay attention to the disease that some plants may develop since that can endanger the whole ecosystem. So, from time to time, take a closer look at the plants and nearby trees to make sure they are healthy and show steady growth. Also, consider using organic and non-toxic agents to boost their growth and repel pests since that will also define the health of your plants.
In order to fully enjoy your garden, you need to declutter it and free up space. While you can use foliage to make compost, other rubbish may require the assistance from a junk removal company. Decluttering your garden and backyard is also important to remove any potentially harmful items from the area, especially if you have children and pets. A neat and clean garden will allow plants to grow healthily, but you will also be able to organize it better and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Decluttering is especially important during the changing of seasons when leaves fall off, strong winds break the branches or it’s a heavy rainfall period.
When having a garden, you will definitely need space to store the hose, wheelbarrow, hoe, and other gardening tools. A garden shed is not only useful, but it can really add charm to the overall exterior design. Additionally, you can create space for a greenhouse to cultivate plants and then re-seed them in the soil when they are big enough. And you can choose from various materials for a garden shed, from all wooden one to a combination of timber, glass, and stone. Also, you can play with designs like building it to resemble a cottage or going for a classic box shape. Don’t forget to embellish the shed with paint, plants, and lights which will make it stylish and make your garden more attractive. In the endA messy garden is not only aesthetically unappealing, but it will attract pests and allow weeds to grow. Having a nice and clean garden will give you a perfect ambiance to create a seating area and enjoy fresh air and nature.
