Getting Ready for Fall Season
Fall is one of the four seasons in the U.S. That is when people start to pull out their fall clothes and boots. This is also when trees start to blossom and when fall decorations are put out. It can be a hectic season. With back to school and the holidays, people may find themselves with no time to do other types of yard maintenance. During this time of year, it is often beneficial to focus on what you can do with your yard. Here are a few tips for yard leaf cleanup to get you ready for fall:
Focus on the obvious.
As leaves start to turn, you may notice that your yard is covered in them. You should start to focus on the obvious and get them cleaned up before they turn brown or fall completely from the tree. These obvious leaves are often those that are at your feet or in your face and are easier to clean up than those in your lawn.
Some leaves, sadly, just need to be bagged.
Even obvious leaves will need some effort to remove. While many people use leaf blowers to blow leaves off their lawns, they should be bagged. Otherwise, they will blow all over your lawn and driveway. Bagging is not just an inconvenience, but it is a step that could prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
Be careful with mulch application.
In late fall, you may start to see more leaves in your mulch. This is simply because they have rotted and fallen over the season. This is where you will have to be careful when applying mulch. It is best to remove any leaves that are found in it before it is applied.
