How do you get your garden ready for spring?

Posted on 20 March 2026

Spring is here,
and it’s time to bring your garden back to life.

We’re sharing a few essential tips—but before you get started, here’s a golden piece of advice: make sure your gardening tools are ready for use. With the right equipment, your tasks will be done in no time.

Spring cleaning: how do you tackle weeds and dirt?

In spring, weeds quickly take over again in Belgium, so act fast and choose an eco-friendly approach to get your garden ready for the season. A smart combination works best: weed burners, pressure sprayers and preventive root fabric from PRACTO Garden help keep your garden neat and healthy.

Our weed burner is powerful and environmentally friendly:

· High temperatures damage plant cells

· As a result, weeds dry out within a few days and die off

· Hold the burner briefly over the weeds to protect the soil

Prefer spraying instead?

· Choose an eco-friendly product, such as pelargonic acid

· Do not use the product on flowering plants, in order to protect bees and other pollinators

· · Always clean your pressure sprayer thoroughly after use

Your terrace also deserves attention. After winter, algae and moss can form on your wooden decking or stone surfaces. Using a pressure sprayer, you can apply a safe, non-harmful cleaning solution and easily rinse everything off with a garden hose—eco-friendly and effortless.

Pruning: which tools do you need?

Start by pruning shrubs and branches—with the right tools from KENDO:

Anvil pruner: ideal for thick, dry branches
Bypass pruner: perfect for living, green branches

For pruning shrubs, low branches or flower beds, our PRACTO Garden kneeler will certainly come in handy. It provides extra comfort and relieves pressure on your knees and back, allowing you to work longer and more comfortably.

After winter, your garden is often covered with leaves, branches, and other debris.

With the practical pruning waste tarp from PRACTO Garden, you can clean everything up quickly and efficiently. This way, you can easily collect green waste without having to walk back and forth.

Why is compost important for your garden?

After pruning and collecting green waste on the tarp, you can easily transfer everything to a garden composter or compost bin. This way, you turn garden waste into valuable compost that enriches your soil.

You can then use this compost to nourish flower beds and other areas of the garden, while also improving the soil.

With PRACTO Garden composters, you always have a practical and sustainable system in your garden.

How do you restore your lawn after winter?

Rake away moss and dead grass with the sturdy rake from KENDO to
Use our PRACTO Garden pressure sprayer to evenly moisten the grass
Apply compost to bare patches
Add fertilizer if needed for faster recovery

This will make your lawn green, dense, and ready for spring again.

How do you prepare your garden for the watering season?

Finally, this is the ideal time to check your irrigation systems, ensuring your plants stay healthy and well cared for throughout the year.
