Tips to Keep Your Lawn and Garden in Tip-Top Condition A lawn and garden in tip top condition is every home owner's dream. But hiring a professional to keep up the good looks of your garden could be a tad pricey. But you certainly have the option of looking after the lawn and garden yourself. Agreed, this could be a challenge for some, given the time constraints and the lack of expert knowledge, but we are here to help you every step of the way... Here are some easy tips to keep your lawn and garden in tip top condition: 1. Never let garden care get out of hand Continued garden care ensures that the plants and the lawn remain healthy and beautiful. Neglecting it or letting it go in between is an invitation to piled up gardening chores and the whole yard going out of hand. It is much easier to keep up the maintenance schedule regularly so that you are not overwhelmed by an overgrown garden one fine day. 2. Keep it neat and tidy There's nothing more pleasant than looking at a lush green, tidy garden. And, it doesn’t take much to keep it looking neat. Simply clear the dirt, fallen leaves and garden waste as quickly as possible. Trim the edges of the lawn, rake away the fallen leaves as often as you can. Prune the shrubs and dead-head the flowering plants to keep your yard in top condition. 3. Maintain your lawn Once you have the grass growing well, it is not difficult to maintain it. Regular mowing, using the right fertiliser, aerating the soil and the right watering technique should keep your lawn looking healthy and beautiful. To give it a well-manicured look it is also important to trim the edges and corner areas of the lawn.
