What Rental Tools You’ll Need to Prepare Your Yard for Spring Planting

Even though residents of the San Jose area are not subject to the harsh winters that people living in many parts of the country must endure, spring in Northern California is still an exciting time. Trees that have lain dormant for months regrow their leaves, and wildflowers sprout up everywhere from the roadside to residential backyards. If you do any gardening or lawn maintenance during spring and summer, the following tools can help you get your property ready for a successful planting season.

Rake A great first step to take toward preparing your garden for spring is to run a rake across its entire surface area. This is easy, it won’t take long, and it will make you feel accomplished, giving you the motivation you need to carry out other spring planting preparation tasks. You may be surprised at the volume of dead leaves and other winter debris items that has accumulated in your lawn and garden area this past winter.

Weed Eater Once you have cleared off the loose debris on your lawn, it is time to attack young weed growth before it gets severe enough to interfere with your planting efforts. The easiest and most effective way to go about doing this is with a piece of equipment called a weed eater.

Tiller Weeds are not the only threat to your planting efforts lurking in your lawn this winter. You can bet that thousands of insects have burrowed in your soil to avoid chilly temperatures they would be exposed to above ground. By tilling your lawn, you can force them to the surface, eliminating several pest populations and limiting the mating results of others.

Pressure Washer Working in a yard dotted with bird droppings and dirt-speckled trellises is less fulfilling than working in a yard that looks and feels pristine. Invest in a pressure washer to efficiently and thoroughly clean up the dirt and droppings that have accumulated on your garden’s fixtures over the past several months.
