A good fall cleanup protects your turf and beds, and it gets the property ready for snow season. Here is what a complete fall cleanup should include.
Leaf removal, timed right
Leaving leaves on lawns over winter smothers turf and invites disease. Most Bucks County and Mercer County communities need at least two leaf visits: one mid-season and one final cleanup after the oaks drop.
Bed cleanup and cutbacks
Cut back perennials and ornamental grasses where appropriate, clear debris from beds and edge them so spring work starts clean.
Final mow and turf care
Drop mowing height slightly on the last cut. Fall is also the best time for aeration, overseeding and a winterizer application.
Get ready for snow
- Stake curbs, islands and walkway edges
- Clear storm drains and gutters at common buildings
- Note low-hanging limbs over drive lanes for pruning
