Lawn Care Tips For A Spectacular Garden

A beautiful outdoor space that includes a flourishing, tailored lawn and colourful flower beds has two effects. First it can contribute significantly to the enjoyment of your home. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice clean, bright, and vibrant yard. The second thing the right landscaping can do is enhance curb appeal and in turn increase your property value. Even if you are not looking to sell, maintaining your yard and keeping it up can make it easier to prepare if that day does come. Your Windsor REALTOR® will tell you that when it comes to selling, first impressions are king. The Windsor real estate market remains brisk and initial thoughts can make or break a potential buyer. Most homes are initially seen online when people search for homes for sale Windsor or houses for sale Windsor, Ontario. They will see your pictures on your listing and that first impression can easily make them decide to inquire and view your home or move on. Not many things can catch your eye like a perfectly manicured lawn and bright flower beds. Even if you’re not selling, when you are enjoying your yard this summer, enjoy those same views yourself. Here are some tips to get your lawn looking pristine.

Clean, Clean, Clean
- Clear all of the weeds, dead foliage, and fallen branches that accumulated over the winter in your landscaping. Trim any overgrown shrubbery, trees, and hedges around your yard. Dethatch your lawn using a sturdy lawn rake or rent a dethatcher for quicker results. Don’t forget to make sure any in lawn sprinkler systems are not damaged after the winter.

Getting the Lawn Growing Again
- Fertilize your lawn and if you have any thin or bald patches re-seed those areas. Be sure to water the grass three to four times a week until you see sprouts.Tip, it’s best to water the lawn early in the morning so that the sun can dry it and be sure to soak the grass so that the moisture penetrates.

Pop of Colour
- Head to your local nursery or garden centre with the goal of finding plants in complementary colors and sizes. For the best look choose plants of varying heights, textures, shades, and don't forget to mix in ornamental grasses. Before you start planting, finalize your garden design by setting the plants you’ve purchased around the garden until you get a layout you like making sure to leave room between plants to allow them to grow. Once you’re happy, make sure the garden is clear of weeds and debris. For each plant dig a hole that’s just deep enough for the plant’s root ball, but twice as wide. Set the plant in and fill the hole with soil, packing it gently. Once everything is in the ground water the garden thoroughly and add a top layer of mulch if desired.

Now sit back, admire your work, and reap the benefits of it whether that be in your pocket if you’re selling or just enjoying some rest and relaxation in your yard this summer!
