Lawn cleaning

There are two seasons in the year when lawns need thorough cleaning. The first one is fall when the lawn should be cleaned from fallen leaves. If not to do this, it may cause harm to the grass which can be attacked by diseases. That’s why it is better to take all leaves, put them in a bag and throw it away, or, if you have a garden where you grow vegetables, you may put the leaves there and they will turn into a good organic fertilizer by spring coming.

In spring it is also recommended to do a thorough lawn cleaning. There are always some leaves and sticks that have fallen during winter, there is always some rubbish left by kids and brought by the wind – there are a lot of things that should not be on the lawn, that’s why you should remove them. Moreover, in spring lawn cleaning may also include dethatching. Some grass leaves die during winter and turn into thatch. If not remove it your lawn may be attacked by disease or just be unattractive.

Speaking about the tools that may help you to clean the lawn it is possible to name rake and leaf blower. Rake cleans the lawn pretty good, but sometimes it is very hard to work with it. Moreover, it always takes a lot of time to clean the whole lawn from leaves with the help of rake. Leaf blower, in turn, does the same amount of work in a shorter time. Furthermore, it also cleans the lawn from sand and salt that accumulated on the lawn during winter. To fight thatch it is recommended to use vertical mover, which does the work fast and thoroughly. Some lawn owners still decide to clean their lawns by hands but, of course, it is a tough task. Anyway, if you work with tools or without them, you’d better wear gloves because you may get a splinter. To make lawn cleaning a fast and fun procedure you can ask family members to help you, but make sure everybody is wearing proper clothing. Remember: if the lawn cleaning is well done you will have a healthy and good-looking lawn.
