Keep Your Patio Clean

A clean patio is a great place to hang out alone or with your family and friends. Your patio is the first spot people see when they come to your house, making for their first impression, which means it should always be clean and organized. It is important to regularly sweep your patio to avoid dirt from your garden and other common stains from outdoors like shoes. Learn how to pressure wash your patio. Take good care of your outside furniture and wash the fabric on a schedule to keep it looking fresh and clean.

Regularly Water Your Plants

Most of the time, you might neglect to water your plants or think it may not be necessary. It is very important to keep your plants hydrated to help them stay healthy and alive. There are a few rules to follow when it comes to watering your plants. You don’t have to water your plants daily, watering once or twice a week is sufficient but make sure to do it thoroughly. It is advised to give your plants time to absorb water before it evaporates by watering them early in the morning or late at night. You should irrigate in a way that saves water by using a good irrigation system with a water sensor either in your balcony or lawn or in your soil. Ideally, you should water your plants evenly to avoid overwatering a zone and poorly water another part, resulting in overly grown plants on one side and deficient plants on another.

Clean Your Pool

A very important step to keep your outdoors neat is maintaining your pool’s cleanliness. Maintaining and keeping your pool area clean is not just for appearances, it is also for hygiene and safety reasons. A very important step in cleaning is to constantly shock your pool by adding chlorine. Do the shocking at night, just before the UV rays from the sun have a chance to eat up the chlorine so that it will have enough time to do its job. Aside from the water, it is very important to take care of the stains in your pool as well. Contacting a dedicated pool stain removal company is the best and easiest way to get rid of these stains. Schedule a routine clean-up for your pool. Use the appropriate cleaning tools like a net skimmer and pool brush.

Trim Your Plants and Trees

The shape and condition of your greenery are very important aspects to sustain the beauty of your outdoors, as well as its health. As said before, you can thoroughly water your plants at least twice a week but neglecting your plants and trees for a long period of time and skipping their routine of trims and prunes might cause diseases in a tree or even the entire plant bed. It is important to schedule regular grooming for your plants and to clean up right after the trim session to ensure that your outdoors stays clean. You should also have a specific shape in mind when you’re getting your trees and bushes trimmed. Shaping your trees and bushes will ensure that your garden will look put together, well organized, and planned. It is mostly recommended to prune your plants every 2-3 years for young plants and 3-5 years for older ones.

Clean Up Your Lawn

Regular maintenance that you shouldn’t skip or forget about is cleaning up your lawn. You can rake your grass to gather the leaves and dirt away from the lawn, although grass-raking is not recommended to do so often. You can use your leaf blower to gather the leaves in one place and place them in a bag. The fallen leaves may be blocking sunlight from reaching the grass that can result in having unhealthy plants, and that the lawn will look messy and not so attractive. 

There are many alternatives to maintaining your lawn yourself, like hiring a professional but this option may be costly. Your outdoors will not take that much effort from you if you do maintenance constantly and on time. Leaving your greens without good care for long periods of time will make them look chlorotic and withering to death, so make sure you keep a thing or two from this guide to sustain the cleanliness of your outdoor space and get your foliage back to life.
