Good-Bye Summer! Fall Clean-up Tips – Series Part 4


This summer has been hot and dry and although it may seem too soon, fall will be here before we know it! You’ve probably already had it with your lawn - it's natural.   As summer winds down, the tendency is to put lawn care on the back burner until spring blooms anew. But by taking time to put your yard and landscape “to bed” in fall, your lawn will reap the rewards. Give your lawn a healthy start next spring-follow along this week to learn some helpful fall tasks.

Pick up leaves. Fall cleanup will save time for gardening come spring, and clearing your lawn of leaves and sticks will prevent the heavy, wet foliage from suffocating the turf. Dark, moist environments are breeding grounds for disease.

Mow low. Make the last mowing of the season a short cut since you’ll retire lawn equipment until spring comes around again.
