Autumn Clean-Up: Preparing Your Garden for the Colder Months

As autumn sets in, it’s time to get your garden ready for winter. An autumn clean-up ensures your outdoor space stays healthy through the colder months and sets the stage for spring growth. Here are some key tasks to focus on.

Tree Pruning and Maintenance
Now is the time to prune trees and shrubs, removing dead or damaged branches. This helps prevent damage from winter storms and keeps trees healthy for next year.

Lawn Care
Clear leaves regularly to avoid smothering your grass. Give your lawn a final mow before frost and aerate it to allow nutrients to reach the roots.

Soil and Plant Prep
Add compost to enrich your soil and mulch flower beds to protect plant roots. Plant bulbs now for a vibrant spring bloom, and bring delicate plants indoors.

Surface Cleaning and Furniture Care
Pressure wash paths and patios to remove dirt and algae, reducing slip hazards in wet weather. Clean and store garden furniture to protect it from winter damage.

Why It's Important
A proper autumn clean-up protects your garden, prevents disease, and prepares your space for a healthy start next year.
