2. Rake up that yard!

Now, after you have cleaned up all of the dead branches and, to put it this way, all the bigger thrash, you can move on and start raking. This can be a pretty strenuous activity, but you don’t have to do it all in a single day. As we said before, you can break up any big job into smaller tasks if you want to make it easier.

Just grab your rake and start small. First, you can pull leaves off your lawn. Be careful, because there is a high chance you will find various dead weeds and other yard waste while doing so. All you have to do is collect all of them and then put them in containers.

After you are done with this, you can go to the next level and start raking all around your house and your garage. Finally, you can take care of the walkways and make them accessible again.
