Spring Cleaning Landscaping Tips

Just like your home needs spring cleaning after the cold month shut in, so does your lawn and landscaping. A little TLC prepares your landscaping and yard as the weather warms up for growing season! Pulling some weeds and placing mulch can make a huge difference in your plant’s growth this summer! 

Spring cleaning means it is time to also consider refinancing your home to save your money long-term. Contact a home loan lender near Lake of the Ozarks to get started! Now let’s dive into some tips to get your lawn and landscaping ready for summer!

Removing Debris

You should pick up and clean out all the dead leaves, grass, and other debris that accumulated throughout the colder months in your landscape and lawn. Wear some work gloves to protect yourself from harmful debris such as glass. Rake the leaves from your lawn to avoid any build up. Remove any pinecones or limbs. 


Prepare Landscaping and Fertilizing

Work in some compost around your plants to fertilize them and make the soil rich with nutrients! Most plants enjoy a feeding of compost in the spring and provides a slow release of fertilizer!

Pest and Weed Control 

You should also remove any visible weeds and spray weed killer in those areas. Spraying weed killer will prevent weeds from spreading and even growing at all.
Pests also pose another challenge that can be prevented before they take over. Spray for pests so they don’t destroy your blooming plants and flowers!

Pruning

Now that winter is over it is time to remove dead limbs and dead plant remnants. Cut the brown ends off the plants, being careful to not cut off any green areas sprouting. Pruning will quickly allow new growth.

Time to Mulch!

Mulching makes your hard work so worth it! Keep those gloves on to protect your hands from splinters. Spread a layer of mulch around your landscaping to wrap it all together!
Some outside spring cleaning will set your landscaping and lawn for success! Spring is also the perfect weather to get outside and work. We hope you feel ready to prepare your lawn and landscaping for summer! 

Now that your landscaping and lawn is looking top-notch, you should consider refinancing your home! Refinancing your home can lead to long-term savings! Our team at MHQ Headquarters is here to help you start saving money on your home loan now by refinancing!

What You Need to Know About Home Equity Loans

Image
For today's homeowners, one of the greatest benefits of homeownership is the home equity you build up over time. The gradually expanding value of a home is a financial resource that can gain momentum over time. Building equity can be a long-term strategy for growing wealth, but it's also a great resource when you need a little extra cash for financial endeavors or any home improvements you're needing to complete. Let's take a look at what a home equity loan is and some of the benefits for qualified recipients. What is a Home Equity Loan? A home equity loan is a type of second mortgage . Your “first” mortgage is the one you used to purchase your home, but you can use additional loans to borrow against the property if you have built up enough equity.
