Now that the grass, trees, and plants have grown in, it’s time to trim, update, and maintain your home’s landscaping so that it looks and functions as it should throughout the season. With the right equipment rentals, you can accomplish everything on your summer to-do list and create a gorgeous outdoor space. Here are some suggestions to get started.

How to Improve Your Yard This Summer With Equipment Rentals

1. Trim Hedges

The hedges around walkways or fences can harm your curb appeal if they’re overgrown. Use a hedge trimmer to shape them into neat and uniform sizes that complement the house and its landscaping.

2. Prune Trees

Trees should also be pruned regularly. Removing dead or loose branches doesn’t just make trees look neater; it also improves their health and counteracts potential safety hazards. With a saw, trailer, and woodchipper, you can get rid of any branches that look questionable and even turn them into usable mulch.

3. Install a Pond

If you want to add a wow factor to the backyard, consider installing a pond where you can look at koi fish or other marine life. Rent an earthmover to create the base for your project and use smaller landscaping supplies to line and fill it.

4. Aerate the Grass

Over time, the lawn can become compacted, which makes the grass look patchy and uneven. Use an aerator to loosen up the soil so that enough water and nutrients can reach the roots to keep your lawn healthy and lush.

5. Edge the Lawn

Even a healthy lawn can look a bit sloppy if the edges are uneven or overgrown. Use an edger, weed whacker, and blower to create clean lines around your hardscaping and tidy the clippings.

6. Remove Trees

If you have trees that are dying, unsightly, or disruptive to the plumbing, consider removing them altogether. However, you don’t want to leave stumps sticking out of the ground, so rent a stump grinder make them even with the soil.
