(Seasonal Services) Fall Cleanup
Fall cleanup refers to the practice of cleaning and preparing your outdoor spaces for the fall and winter seasons. This may include tasks such as:
– Raking leaves and debris from lawns and gardens.
– Clearing gutters and downspouts of debris.
– Trimming dead or damaged branches from trees.
– Clearing decks, patios, and walkways of fallen leaves and debris.
– Preparing garden beds for winter by cutting back perennials and covering them with mulch.
– Storing outdoor furniture and equipment for the winter.
– Removing dead annuals and perennials from garden beds.
Fall cleanup provides several benefits, including:
– Preparation for Winter: Clearing dead leaves, branches, and other debris from your lawn and garden beds can prevent damage from snow and ice and make it easier to maintain your outdoor spaces during the winter months.
– Protection for Plants: Removing dead leaves and other debris from around plants can help prevent the buildup of mold and mildew, which can harm your plants.
– Reduced Pest Problems: Clearing away fallen leaves and other debris can help reduce the number of pests and disease-carrying organisms in your outdoor spaces, making it less likely that they will overwinter and cause problems in the spring.
– Improved Aesthetics: A well-maintained outdoor space, even in the fall, can enhance the overall appearance of your property and maintain its curb appeal.
– Better Functionality: Clearing walkways, driveways, and decks of fallen leaves and other debris can improve their functionality and make them safer to use.
– Maintenance Prevention: Regular fall cleanup can help identify potential maintenance issues before they become bigger problems, allowing you to address them promptly and avoid costly repairs.
