Mowing and raking your yard is not only to make your yard look good but also for the health of your yard and plants. Yard debris is home to pests and diseases, and it also chokes the growth of grass and other vegetation. Thankfully, there are several ways to clean up yard debris that do not have to be a big problem. Following these tips, you can tidy up your yard and make it look neat.

Gather the Right Tool 

However, to ensure you achieve the best results when cleaning up your yard debris, you must have the following items. Here’s a list of essential tools you’ll need:

• Rake: A good rake is very important, especially when raking the leaves, twigs, and other debris from the lawn.
• Leaf blower: A leaf blower will enable you to clear the leaves from hard-to-access areas, such as the flower beds and under the decks, quickly.
• Shovel: To clear larger debris, such as branches and rocks, you will need a shovel.
• Pruning shears: Bushes and trees will require pruning shears for trimming.
• Trash cans or compost bins: You will need a dump site where you can dump the debris you gather.

Start with the Big Stuff 

After you have all your tools in place, it is time to clear your yard of debris. The first step involves the preliminary clearance of large items such as branches, rocks, sticks, and other large objects. You can use your hands to pick up small pieces of debris, or you can use a rake or a blower to pick them up.

Tackle the Leaves 

After you have cleared the large items, it is time to deal with the leaves. If you have a small yard, you can gather the leaves into piles and dispose of them by either putting them in a bag or composting. You can use a blower to blow the leaves into piles if you have a large yard. Once the leaves are in piles, you can vacuum them up with a lawn mower or shred them with a leaf shredder.

Don’t Forget the Lawns 

Once you have cleared the leaves, it is time to cut your lawn using the mower. Mowing will help you cut the remaining leaves and debris and maintain the health of your grass.

Dispose of Debris Properly

Clean up yard debris once you have gathered all the remains. You can compost leaves, twigs, and other organic matter. Yard waste can also be placed in bags and put out with the regular trash pickup. Some communities also provide yard waste collection services.
