Think Fall! Tips for Prepping Your Yard for the Fall



It is hard to believe, but the fall season is coming up soon. There are several things you can do to prep your yard for the upcoming cold months. As a landscaping company serving Bloomington, we have a few tips on how to best prepare your yard and landscaping for the fall and winter.

Mulch
You will want to wait to do this task until after all of your garden’s flowers have died or all of your vegetables have been harvested. The first step is to remove all debris out of your garden. Make sure you weed your garden too so you will not have to deal with as many in the spring. If you removed a large amount of leaves, compost them and use them as mulch too. This is a great way to prepare the soil for next spring’s growing season.

Tidy Up
This is also a great time to tidy up the rest of your yard. Rake the leaves, spread some grass seed to fill in any empty patches and fill in any empty spots in your landscaping with fall-friendly plants like mums and asters. You can always call our landscaping company to find out more about fall-friendly flowers and vegetables. If you have any herbs growing outdoors, take the time to move them indoors for the fall and winter.

Organize Your Shed
Go through your shed and get it organized. Throw away or give away anything you do not use, toss out any old chemicals that are sitting around (make sure you read up on how to safely dispose of them first though!) and keep a running list of what you will need to replenish before spring rolls around again next year.

Our landscaping company can help with all of your fall lawn and landscaping needs, so don’t hesitate to call us if you need help!
