How to clear an overgrown garden

Restoring an overgrown garden takes time. Below are some valuable tips on how to clear it gradually.

Clear any rubbish: Remove all debris such as broken garden features or furniture, broken tools, plant pots and other junk.

Trim hedges: Overgrown hedges make a garden look messy. Having them cut by a professional will make the garden look a bit neater and motivate you to keep going.

Identify the plants to keep: Identifying any plants you wish to keep means you don’t accidentally pull the wrong thing when you come to weeding.

Remove weeds and dead plants: This is a gradual process, but make sure you don’t harm plants you want to keep.

Dig over planting sites: Prepare vegetable patches and flower beds by tilling the soil to improve its texture. Naturally, you’ll go ahead with planting new varieties that fit in with the time of the year.
