Clearing your garden in autumn before the really cold weather sets in can help to ensure that it looks tidy and well-tended throughout the winter months. Among the other advantages of an autumn garden clean is prevention of a build-up of slippery, fallen leaves that could turn your garden into a hazardous mess. 

Preparing Your Garden

Cleaning up

When you clean up the dead leaves and debris in your garden you remove a hiding place for insects and pests that can have a devastating effect on new plants that will shoot up in spring. Dead plant material can be a breeding ground for plant diseases especially fungal spores. You will want to prune away any blackened stems and dying leaves from annual flowers and vegetables that can act as a haven for diseases and insect eggs. Prune away any dead or diseased tree branches and trim away dead wood from any shrubs and woody perennials. Fallen rose leaves should be bagged to counteract diseases like black spot.

Weeding

One weed can produce thousands of seeds so removing weeds in Autumn can prevent weeds from getting to the seed production phase, and reduce the number of weed seeds in the ground.  Although it is unlikely that you will ever fully win the battle against weeds, the extra effort of weeding in fall is likely to give you the upper hand.

 

Clearing the garden waste

Undoubtedly after you have trimmed your lawn and hedges, cut back your shrubs and trees and removed the garden weeds, you will be dealing with a large amount of garden waste. A garden clearance company can remove all your garden waste at once, including your grass, dead leaves, pruned away branches, as well as, bags of soil, broken fencing, garden machinery and old garden furniture. By hiring garden clearance professionals, you can include your garden shed in your Autumn garden clean up, to make some extra space for Spring, and rest assured that not only is the job complete but that your waste has been safely disposed and recycled where possible.

Waste clearance services have changed the way people manage their waste around homes, offices, and basically any other premises. Traditionally, people would rely on the city council and other local authorities, to collect and dispose of all waste generated at home. But with time, the population explosion in many urban areas, as well as the emergence of private waste clearance companies saw many people look for alternatives. Today, most people rely on private waste clearance companies for all their needs, and below are things you should expect;

Today, most companies have invested in the right trucks for the job, and also equipped the clearance teams with the right attire for the job. Waste clearance teams have special uniforms that are clean, and protective in nature.
3. Affordable; in modern times, these waste clearance services have become very affordable. The perception in yester years was that waste clearance services were a reserve for the wealthy and elite, but that misconception has been proved wrong.

While most people tend to give much priority to their house clearance, it is equally important to ensure that your garden is also thoroughly cleared and left in perfect condition. An untidy garden is an eyesore; it makes your entire compound look like a dumpsite. Besides, an untidy garden that has waste and junk all over is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and rodents like rats. It goes without saying therefore that you have to ensure that you get the right garden clearance services, from a reputable specialist company.

What are the benefits of hiring the services of a specialist garden clearance company?

• A good garden clearance company has the tools for the job, and as such, they are likely to get the job done more effectively, and more quickly. Often, they will have the rakes, and shears to trim any overgrown branches and hedges. They also have the right trucks and vans to transport any junk from the garden for disposal.
• Secondly, if you are lucky to get an eco friendly service provider, then they ensure that all their practices are in line with principles of conserving the environment. Rather than burning the branches and bushes that have been trimmed, the clearance company can use them for mulching, or make manure with them.
• A garden clearance is not something you do every other day; it needs to be done occasionally. Sometimes you may be too busy, or away from home and during those moments, a garden clearance specialist will step in and get the job done.
• You may have beautiful garden furniture, but if your garden is filthy and messy, no visitor or guest will want to come close. Thus in order to enjoy the serenity and freshness that comes from spending time in a neat garden, you should get a skilled garden clearance service provider to take care of things.
• A filthy garden will also have junk that may injure anyone walking around the garden. These could include nails, broken pieces of wood or old containers. These containers will trap rain water, and be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Rodents will also find a safe place in a filthy garden and before you know it, they will sneak inside your main house to wreak more havoc.

Conclusion;

Always seek the services of a qualified garden clearance service provider so that your garden is thoroughly and professionally cleared of any waste or junk.
