Blog Post Five Minute Gardening Tips for Murrieta Foreclosures

Category: Real Estate Trends

Published: Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Temecula bank homes and Murrieta foreclosures come with big yards and plenty of landscaping. After all, that is one of the attractions of moving here - more land, more house, less money! But buyers coming from other parts of Southern California where land wasn't always so cheap might not be accustomed to caring for a large yard or lots of landscaping. And for buyers of Riverside County foreclosures, this can be especially daunting given their usual state of abandonment and typical landscaping neglect.

There is hope however, even for lawns needing more than just a little TLC. Try these handy five minute gardening tips and your Murrieta bank home or Temecula foreclosure will be looking model-home perfect in no time.

  • Water on a Schedule - set the automatic timer on your sprinklers to water according to a schedule. By automating the process you guarantee your lawn and flower beds get the water they need without having to remember to turn the sprinklers on or water by hand. Riverside County landscaping experts state that 5 minutes a day in the early morning is plenty of irrigation for the traditional Tall Fescue variety of grass, the most common installation in Murrieta foreclosed homes.

  • Deadhead spent blooms - this process involves picking the dead flowers off our shrubs and plants as soon as the bloom is gone. By deadheading your flowers you create new growth and encourage flowering long past the traditional blooming season. You also improve the look of your home by removing withered blooms on a regular basis giving it that springtime look all summer long.

  • Weed while you talk - have those random phone calls to make after work? Why not carry the phone outside and pull a few weeds while you talk? Spending just a few minutes a day in your flower beds will keep them looking fresh and weed free.

  • Deal with problem areas one at a time - if you have limited time and limited resources, attack problem areas like weedy patches of lawn or broken planter walls in small increments. While you might not be able to handle each of these small bites in five minutes or less, breaking the bigger job up into smaller chunks will make the big job seem more manageable.
