After a natural disaster strikes, your yard may look like a natural disaster too! Severe weather such as hurricanes, tornados, storms, and strong winds can leave your yard in turmoil with branches strewn across your lawn, bald spots, and debris scattered about. Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to restore your yard to its natural beauty. Add these five easy yard clean up tasks to your to do list: remove wood, pick up yard debris, mow the lawn, rake bald spots, and power wash areas in need. 

1. Wood Removal

Be proactive and remove overhanging branches that may cause damage to your home or branches that are likely to fall soon. Get a good quality pole saw to cut down overhanging branches and be sure to steer clear of the branches so you don’t get hit. For larger branches or trees that have already fallen, use a chainsaw to cut the wood into manageable pieces. If you’ll be using the wood for fires in the future, use a log splitter to cut wood to even smaller pieces. Then haul the excess wood to your wood pile and cover wood with a tarp to help prevent wood rot.

2. Pick Up Yard Debris

Clean up yard debris to improve lawn health, safety, and the appearance of your lawn. According to lawinsider.com, yard debris includes grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings and similar vegetative waste generated from residential property or landscaping activities, but does not include stumps or similar bulky wood materials. Before you start, put on some work gloves and dispose of yard debris properly by placing it in bags and put the bags in your yard waste bin or take it to a compost site. Check with your city’s yard debris removal ordinances for more information on proper yard debris disposal. 

3. Get Rid of the Snow

Don't forget about winter clean up! Clearing snow with a snow thrower is an efficient way to keep your driveway and walkways safe and accessible during winter.

4. Power Wash

After harsh weather strikes, it’s a good idea to use a pressure washer around your yard such as your driveway, patio, or sidewalk. These areas may have built-up dirt and debris from your yard and you don’t want the debris getting packed into your concrete during the chilly winter months. A pressure washer is also great for cleaning your yard tools so they’re ready for use the next time you need them.
