If you are the new owner of a property that has a very large garden, you should consider taking the following advice on board.

Sign up for a monthly garden bag collection service immediately

Before you set about tidying up or changing the garden, you should register with a business near your home that will collect your bagfuls of garden waste on a monthly basis. The reason for this is as follows; the process of maintaining a big garden will lead to the continual generation of large quantities of waste (which may take the form of fallen twigs and leaves, grass clippings, weeds, tree bark as well as dead plants and flowers). If you don't stay on top of the disposal of all of this garden waste by using the aforementioned removal service, your big, lovely garden will soon end up overrun with the refuse produced by your efforts to keep it tidy.

It is best to sign up to this service immediately, as your first month of gardening will probably result in you filling up several big garden refuse bags, particularly if the property has been empty (and its garden, therefore, neglected) for a while or if you are making a lot of changes to its features. If you have not prearranged the removal of these big bags of refuse, their presence in your home's outdoor area may interfere with you and your landscaper's attempts to move, alter or update the garden features.

Get a storage shed for the bin or bags in which you will be keeping your garden waste

If you have a bin or some heavy-duty, reusable bags that you will be using to store your garden waste in between the visits from the rubbish removal company, you should buy a storage shed specifically for these items and keep them in this container at all times. This storage shed should be anchored to a sturdy piece of paving or soil in your garden.

This will stop rats from getting into the bin or the bags and making nests in these areas (this can happen quite easily, as rats will often use the materials typically found in piles of garden waste as 'construction' materials for their nests. Additionally, by keeping the bags or the bin in an anchored shed, you can prevent these items and the garden waste inside them from being blown all over your garden on blustery days.
