Is Your Backyard Christmas Ready?

November 30, 2022  / Posted by Steve Cubis Tree Services

As the days on the calendar move toward Christmas, you realise your backyard is an overgrown mess. You know you need to clean it up before your family comes over for Christmas lunch, but you have no idea where to start. Read on for tips to get your outdoor space ready for the big day.

To start improving the appearance of your yard, dust off those old secateurs and lopping shears and get to work!

Pruning bushes and shrubs in your garden and removing dead leaves are two key steps to getting it ready for Christmas Day. Pruning bushes can improve the appearance of your yard by shaping the plants in a more natural way and removing any dead or low hanging branches. Removing dead leaves will help keep your yard looking clean and tidy.

Removing dead branches from trees improves the appearance of your yard by keeping the trees looking healthy and well-groomed. Dead branches can also be a safety hazard, so it is important to remove them as soon as possible. There are several ways to remove dead branches, including using a chainsaw, lopping shears or hand pruners. For large trees, it's important to enlist the help of a professional so you can avoid accidents or damage to dwellings.

Once you've finished trimming, clean up your mess by raking up leaves and twigs from your lawn. This will help keep your yard looking neat and tidy. You can also use a leaf blower to get rid of debris from hard-to-reach places such as corners or underneath bushes and trees.

When you've removed the dead leaves and branches from your yard, it's time to mulch. Mulching is a great way to add nutrients back into the soil, keep weeds at bay and reduce water evaporation. Spread mulch over flowerbeds and pathways for a finished look that will help keep your yard looking neat and tidy. 

If you need to have a tree or branches removed, consider hiring a professional with the equipment to mulch it down for you. You can then use this in your garden!

Freshly manicured trees deserve to be adorned with some fairy lights to make your Christmas truly magical. There's something special about the twinkle of lights on the nights leading up to Christmas.
