Spring Yard Cleanups Aren’t Just About Your Property’s Curb Appeal

Spring Yard Cleanups Aren’t Just About Your Property’s Curb Appeal

While spring yard cleanups do make your property look more aesthetically pleasing, that isn't the only thing they can do for you. They can also improve the health of your lawn and landscape, especially after another long winter season here in Pennsylvania. Spring cleanups include debris removal, which prevents the debris from smothering your grass. Spring cleanups also include pre-emergent weed control for your landscape beds, which ensures that your plants won't have to compete with weeds for nutrients. You can also have mulch installed or refreshed, which will keep your landscape bed plants protected.

Debris removal will prevent debris from smothering your grass.

One benefit of spring yard cleanups is that they include debris removal. Excess debris can actually be quite detrimental to your lawn. This debris can smother your grass by blocking its access to oxygen, sunlight, water, and essential nutrients. Heavy debris, such as large leaf piles or dead tree branches, can also cause compaction in your soil; this can lead to your lawn not being able to properly absorb things like water and nutrients. Excess debris can even attract pest infestations to your property and harbor harmful lawn diseases. By scheduling a spring yard cleanup, you can have this debris removed from your lawn so it doesn't cause any harm to your turf.

Pre-emergent weed control will keep weeds from invading your landscape beds.

Another helpful service included in spring yard cleanups is pre-emergent weed control for your landscape beds. Besides being annoying and unsightly, weeds can also affect the health of your plants by stealing sunlight, water, and nutrients from them. Because pesky weeds will be taking these essential resources from your plants, your plants won't have access to what they need to grow and thrive. Pre-emergent weed control treatments are designed to stop weed growth at the source and prevent newly germinated weeds from breaking through the surface of your landscape beds. Scheduling a spring yard cleanup ensures that your plants won't have to compete with weeds for the essential resources that they need.

Mulch installation or refreshment will keep your landscape bed plants protected.

A third helpful service that spring yard cleanups often include is mulch installation or refreshment. Mulch ground covers don't just make your landscape beds look neat and tidy; they are also extremely beneficial for your plants. One benefit that mulch ground covers offer your landscape bed plants is soil temperature regulation. The layer of mulch can help to keep your soil within the temperature range that is ideal for the healthy growth of your plants. Another benefit is moisture retention, meaning that a mulch ground cover can help your soil stay moist for longer after you water it. This is particularly helpful in the summer heat, and you won't have to water your landscape bed plants quite as often. Mulch ground covers can also suppress weed growth by essentially suffocating weeds and blocking sunlight from reaching them. Do your landscape beds a favor and schedule a spring yard cleanup so you can reap these benefits.
