Fall Clean-ups: The Key to a Successful Winter Landscape
What do you think of when you hear the phrase fall clean-up? For most people, that phrase evokes thoughts of raking leaves, chopping down bushes, removing weeds around the foundation of your home or business, and similar yard work. But there’s another type of fall clean-up that can be just as important for your property—a commercial landscape clean-up. With just a little preparation, you can ensure that your property looks great all winter long.
4 Key Steps in Every Fall-Clean Up
Disposing of lawn debris
As the leaves begin to fall, it's important to stay on top of lawn clean-up. Disposing of lawn debris in a timely manner helps to promote a healthier lawn for the spring. It also helps reduce the amount of work that needs to be done come springtime.
Aeration
As the temperatures start to cool and the leaves begin to fall, it's time to start thinking about your commercial landscape property maintenance. One of the most important things you can do for your landscape is to aerate the soil. Aeration helps churn the soil, making it easier for new grass to thrive and grow. It also helps improve drainage and prevents compaction. Additionally, aerating your landscape will help reduce thatch build-up.
