Yard maintenance is not necessarily the exclusive activity of professional landscapers.

The beauty of a well-manicured yard or landscape is a result of frequent maintenance and regular care. While some of this maintenance is difficult, sometimes impossible, for the homeowner, much of what goes into a beautiful yard is easily achievable in a weekend, using only simple tools and hard work.

Lawn Care

Landscaping services are an expensive luxury for all but the largest of yards. Most homeowners can perform their own lawn care services with only a rake, a lawnmower and some sunny weather. Clear days are best for mowing, since rain can cause grass to clump, cut unevenly or even jam the lawnmower blades. Cutting grass at the right height is also essential because grass species feature a different optimal height according to their kind. Bahia grass, for example, is mowed between 2.5 and 4 inches tall, while centipede grass, a much smaller species, can thrive even when cut as short as 1.5 inches. Rake before cutting the grass to remove stones, pine cones and other large pieces of debris that can damage the blades of a lawnmower.

Tree Care

Many yard-sized trees grow between 15 and 25 feet tall, and this size means that, often, a homeowner with the right tools can reach and prune these trees, keeping them healthy and aesthetically shaped. Under 15 feet, most branches are kept in shape with a small pruning saw. Similar in shape, the lopper sits on top of a large pole and is designed for reaching up as high as 20 feet or more. This extension saw uses a rope to move the saw blade up and down.

Garden Maintenance

Pruning is also necessary in the garden. Deadheading the flowers of tulips and rosebushes will cause their flowers to grow back even more vibrant the next year. Additionally, pruning away dead and diseased portions of your plants will help ensure that their energies are spent towards their flowers, fruits or leaves rather than fighting off diseases or infestations.

Pond Maintenance

Yards with a pond may require some occasional help from a professional to ensure that it remains properly oxygenated and does not become a haven for algae or anaerobic bacteria. Still, skimming small ponds, just like swimming pools, is one preventative measure that homeowners often choose to complete themselves. Other preventative measures, such as planting shade trees to prevent excess sunlight from reaching the pond, can also help lower your reliance on professional help.
