Maintenance and cleaning of the yard in a private house or country house are essential and necessary processes. A well-kept yard enhances your aesthetic appeal since it's the first thing visitors see before entering the house. Therefore, taking care of the outdoor environment is crucial. However, it can be a laborious task for homeowners.
Different types of yards, such as those with asphalt, marble, concrete, or lawns, require specific care and cleaning methods.
For yards with grass or lawns, installing an irrigation system is beneficial as it keeps the grass healthy and vibrant. When removing fallen leaves, use a special "pick" to avoid damaging the grass. Alternatively, a vacuum cleaner can be employed for this purpose.
Cleaning trash from asphalt surfaces can be easily done with a regular or yard broom. On hot summer evenings, cool the yard using a flexible rubber irrigation pipe and ensure there's a "trap" to allow accumulated water to flow freely.
For yards with marble, cleaning can be accomplished with a broom and water, supplemented by special cleaning products. However, avoid using chemicals near flowers to prevent damage to them.
Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your yard with colorful flowers and beautiful pots. Planting flowers or using decorative pots can add vibrancy and oxygenate the space. Regularly check the flowers, remove weeds, and prune dead branches to maintain their beauty.
Consider planting berry fruit bushes or dwarf trees to beautify the yard while enjoying seasonal berries without the need for fertilizers.
Create themed areas in the yard, such as an alley with pitchers, old items, accessories, and wooden decorations for a charming ambiance.
Adopt a modern garden style, known as 'bohemian', by crafting tables and chairs from pallets softened with sponges and cloth. Use handmade lighting with glass jars or ordinary lamps and display interesting objects on shelves made from pallets. Provide a covered area with tables and chairs to accommodate guests in various weather conditions.
To add serenity to the yard, consider having a small pond with fish. Regular cleaning will be necessary to maintain its beauty.
Lastly, enjoy relaxing in your clean and well-kept yard while sipping cappuccino, herbal tea, wine, or beer. Your yard will undoubtedly become a favorite gathering spot for friends and family.
