Backyard Clean Outs in Time for Summer

May 07, 2021

As the weather warms up, everyone is looking forward to spending more time outside, which means it's time to prep the backyard for a summer of fun! Here's a suggested list of ways to make your yard the best on the block and clean out the clutter.

Yard Planning 101

Here are some basic things to keep in mind, to ensure you can relax in comfort and safety during the warm months:

Soil: Before setting your sights on a lush garden, blooming fruit trees, and thick, soft grass, you need to know what your current soil is capable of.
Shade/Sun: Pay attention to what areas of the yard are in the sun/shade during certain hours of the day, before you build a deck, install a fire pit, or set up a seating area.
Pets/Children: It's important to think about who will be using the yard, and for what. Energetic dogs might ruin a flowerbed, but enjoy the shade of a tree, and hot tubs or pools might need extra security measures.

Cleaning Up

Once you've done the research, and thought through your vision for your yard, it's time to clear out the unnecessary/worn down stuff. Here are a few things in your yard that might need to be removed, replaced, or simply thrown out.

Shed: Many homeowners inherit old sheds that were previously used for storage, and rather than dispose of it, they let it sit and rot. Over the years, they become a cozy, safe home for rodents and insects, as well as mold. Tearing it down will free up space, and make your yard safer.
Old Furniture: Likewise, old furniture like lawn chairs and picnic tables should be removed once they are unable to serve their purpose.
Broken Tools/Lost Toys/Trash: Sometimes yards can become graveyards for small, broken items. Take the time to pick up trash, toys, and dig out half-buried items to prepare your yard.
