Our garden lawns have always been cherished by us Brits, and many foreigners mention our British accent, love of tea, and, of course, our affinity for gardens and lawns when asked what’s distinctive about us! - The reason for this is that gardens have traditionally played an important role in the lives of Britons for many generations. Contemporary gardening, as we know it today, did not become prolific until the early twentieth century. 

Today, if we want to freshen up our garden so that we can continue to have pride in them, we hire garden clearance help. Garden clearance services cover much more than just rounding up twigs and leaves, and cutting the lawn!
The state of your garden can reveal a lot about you and heavily influences the overall appearance of your property. Read on below to find out more about Garden clearance:

Spring:

The perfect season to clear your garden is in the Spring, as is traditional for us here in the U.K. This is because the weather is beginning to improve and we are anticipating spending a lot of time in our gardens come the summer. Spring is also the best time to seed new plants and replace damaged and decaying ones. At this time of year, you can also trim back overgrown branches and hedges too.
The Right Equipment


Having the proper equipment can make all the difference, and whilst most homeowners might own a pair of pruning shears and a rake, when it comes to more specific garden clearance equipment such as leaf blowers and chainsaws, their sheds are empty! 
Professional garden clearance providers have access to trowels, spades, gloves, hedge clippers, watering cans, pruning secateurs, pruning saws, hedging shears, sieves, wheelbarrows… you name it & they likely have it!

Readying Your Tools

Aside from owning tools, you also need to have them in good shape and ready to do the job they were designed to do. This means sharpening blades and cleaning and oiling equipment in advance. When cutting branches and hedges, a sharp tool significantly reduces unwanted breakages.

Timing

The optimum time to clear your garden is in the morning or evening. The dirt is softer and colder at these times of day, meaning you can work more efficiently. Wind is often reduced in the early mornings and evenings too. 

Tidying Up

Never leave your cut branches and leaves lying around the garden after you've finished gardening. Gather them all up and place them in a compost heap, or take them to the recycling centre. Larger branches can be dried and used as firewood to keep your house warm during the winter. When it comes to your tools, they should never be returned to the shed filthy and wet. Wipe them down with a dry cloth before placing them away, so that they are in good shape next time you come to need them. If you leave them damp, they will corrode quickly and the dales will blunt.

Even with these five tips above at your disposal, you may find it easier to seek the help of a professional garden clearance provider. They have the specialist skills and experience to know exactly what needs to be done, and they can do it more quickly and efficiently than you probably can, making them very good value. They also have all the tools and equipment, without needing to purchase anything in advance of doing the job.
