New Property Overgrown? Here’s How To Get Started

Have you become the owner of a new property and not exactly been impressed with the condition it has been left in? There are plenty of reasons a property you have purchased may be overgrown - from purchasing it at a cheap price to inheriting a property that has not been used in many years.

But when you arrive and you’re faced with weeds, shrubbery, trees and other vegetation all in the wrong places, it can be hard to know where to start. Here are some top tips from the team at GMCB Ltd to help you know where to start when repairing an overgrown property.



Use The Proper Equipment

Cutting corners on this kind of job could lead to it taking longer and not being completed effectively. Make sure you use the proper equipment when working on your overgrown property. The proper equipment will ensure that each task that needs to be done is performed correctly and efficiently. Using improper equipment, or simply your hands could lead you to tire yourself more quickly or even hurt yourself.

Tidy First

Before you get into bigger tasks, tidy up the space. Pick up any rubbish scattered around, anything that might not require a tool or much effort to remove. Once you have done this, try to mow your lawn. This will allow you to get a better idea of what additional tasks need to be completed.

Focus On Weeds

Start by removing as many weeds as possible. Try to find the weeds that are past the blooming stage first, as these will spread soon. Make sure to remove them entirely, as if you don’t they could come back.

Pruning

Shrubbery is very important to a property. If shrubs, bushes and trees have been left to grow excessively, they will grow out of control and probably won’t be that healthy. Remove dead or dying branches and prune to allow things the chance to grow back looking beautiful!
