Prune AwayNext, prune those shrubs and bushes. You can use a leaf blower on your trees and bushes to remove any dead leaves or loose branches. Also, take a look around your yard for any bothersome weeds you can pull up. Don't worry about letting the debris fall on the ground, you'll be raking that up later.
Break Out the RakeDig out your old rake and make sure it's still comfortable for you to use (a rake that is too short can cause some serious back pain). You may want to lay an old sheet out on which to pile your debris — that will make for an easy transfer into the trash. Once you have the yard raked, pick up the sheet from the corners and use it to slide the trash into a bag.
Ready, Set, MowYou always want to get your grass looking its best, and a fresh cut always gives a yard the look of cleanliness. So whether you have decided to start with a new lawn or just patch your old one, mowing your lawn is a must. Be sure to mix up your mowing pattern to eliminate the chance of the soil becoming compacted, which inhibits the growth of grass. Help keep your grass healthy by giving it an early morning watering once a week.
Wash it OffRinsing off your home and driveway is an easy way to make it look clean. Use a power sprayer and begin by spraying your home, from top to bottom. Then use the sprayer to clear the driveway of debris and dirt. Streaky windows can be a nuisance, so before you wash down your house use a water-resilient product on your windows. That will make your windows resistant to water and dirt.
