Forgetting to prune!

Sometimes it isn’t about the number of items you have around your yard that make it seem like your garden is half the size it actually is. It may just be because of all the plants you have around, which you may have neglected when it comes to the maintenance gardening needed to maintain a clean and beautiful space.

Pruning when the time is right will not only open up your garden and make it seem more spacious, but it will also create the illusion that it is bigger than it is because it looks clean and put together. You have to be on top of gardening when it comes to getting all your trees and bushes trimmed, as overgrown shrubbery will make it seem like the plants are taking over your garden in a while!

To help you get back into gardening, make sure that you keep a pair of trusty gardening gloves on hand at all times! This is our favorite pair!
