8 Things to do to Your Lawn Every Fall

If you want your yard to be green and healthy, strap on shoe attachments which will pierce holes in your soil to allow water and fertilizer to seep deeper. They also make a push aerator tool that you can use too!

Nothing looks worse than dead annuals in a barren winter landscape. Removing dead annuals before it gets really cool will put you in good shape for the upcoming winter.

After disposing of annuals, cut back dead and wilted stems on perennial plants. This will give your yard a tidy look. Some of these plants can even be divided and distributed around your yard.

To prevent any issues in your fence from getting worse during the colder seasons, inspect it and fix any holes, chipped boards or broken pieces. You can even give it a fresh coat of paint while you’re at it!

Unless you want dead grass, pick up all fallen leaves. Leaves also contain different bacteria and when left in mulch beds, they can alter the chemical makeup of any flower garden.

Planning is an important part of preparing your garden for the next growing season. You should plant bulbs of spring-flowering plants in early fall, because the soil is still warm and they will get enough moisture from the rains.

Since shorter days and longer evenings are ahead come fall and winter, it’s important to set your yard up to prevent injuries. Make sure pathways are well lit to increase safety for you and guests. You’ll also want to ensure you’re greeted home with light at night so confirm you’r exterior house lighting is working.

If you leave out outdoor furniture during the constant rain in the autumn, and the harsh winter conditions, garden furniture gets damaged and you can’t repair it that easily, Meaning your furniture will last way longer if you do this one simple chore.
