It is easy to see how well a person is or isn't taking caring of their yard. An untended yard has long grass, leaves, weeds, and all sorts of things a well tended yard does not have. We all know that this looks bad, but sometimes we can't help but let the grass grow a little too long or the leaves to build up a little too high.

Doing yard work is inconvenient and it takes time away from our days. People with allergies are especially reluctant to work on their yards. In this article I'll teach you how to get your yard work done quicker so that you can spend more time doing the things you like to do. I'll even teach you about some of the technologies people utilize to get their yard work done with less headaches.

Firstly, whether you have a small or a large yard, you will get your yard work done faster by taking advantage of new technology. Leaf vacuums in conjunction with a leaf mulcher will always perform better than rakes and plastic bags. The same goes for gas and electric powered lawn mowers versus unpowered push motors.

Once spring hits, you'll need to be equipped with the latest garden tools and garden gloves to help you eliminate weeds. Do this early in the spring so that you can quickly put down mulch. The sooner you put mulch down, the sooner you can stop new weeds from growing in your garden beds. A leaf mulcher or wood chipper can help you create the mulch you need for this.

When summer comes upon us, the main job our lawn gives us is simply to keep the garden beds free of weeds and to mow the lawn. Just keep in mind that you do not want to cut your grass down too short during the dry season. Avoid doing this by raising the height of your mower's blades. Longer grass will not burn up and die like shorter grass.

Once summer ends and fall begins to set in, you will have to take care of the leaves as well as the grass. Use a leaf vacuum in conjunction with a leaf mulcher to take care of your leaves. This will ensure that you don't have to worry about bagging up leaves or raking them to the curb.
