Thankfully, there is a better way to remove the dead pieces from your plant. Follow along with Fine Gardening editor Steve Aitken as he shows you a tip to help you clean evergreen grasses more quickly.

    This can be achieved by regularly removing fallen leaves, dead grass, and other debris that can suffocate the grass and cause it to decay. A rake or a leaf blower can be used to gather the debris, and it's recommended to compost or dispose of it properly. Additionally, it's essential to consider junk furniture pickup to declutter your yard and keep it looking neat and tidy. Old furniture, broken appliances, and other household items can not only take up valuable space but also pose as an eyesore. Hiring a junk removal service or contacting your local waste management facility can help you get rid of these items
