As the cool autumn weather drifts in, now is the perfect time to prepare your landscaping for the seasonal shift. Whether you’re gathering falling leaves or pruning branches, the right type of lawn and garden equipment can make all the difference. Plus, it will preserve the health of your landscape throughout the colder seasons. Below is a comprehensive list of essential lawn equipment to use this fall.

Lawn & Garden Equipment to Prepare Your Landscape for Fall Weather

1. Leaf Blowers

As the leaves fall this season, they can easily take over your lawn. A powerful leaf blower is ideal for moving leaves into manageable piles. Choose a gas-powered model or an electric, handheld blower to quickly move leaves away from lawns, sidewalks, curbs, and driveways.

2. Mulching Mowers

This fall, invest in a lawn mower with a mulching feature. This additional component closes off the mower's discharge chute so grass and leaves can be chopped into smaller pieces. Use the clippings as a nutrient-rich mulch to promote healthy soil.

3. Leaf Vacuums

Suck up leaves, twigs, and grass with ease by using a leaf vacuum. Fueled by strong turbine systems, this component easily attaches to many lawn mowers. Anderson Outdoor Power is currently offering an older model of the 8HP Trac-Vac 44 bushel cart. Trac-Vac's leaf vacuums are designed to fit a variety of garden tractors and zero-turn mowers.

4. Chain Saws

Cut branches like an expert this fall with the help of a durable chain saw. Include this go-to piece in your lawn and garden equipment arsenal to get a jump-start on pruning duties before winter. Choose from models powered by gas, electric, or batteries.

5. Gardening Tools

For other fall cleanup duties, you'll need several gardening tools. In addition to loppers and pruners to accommodate branches of varying thicknesses, use trowels for planting and weed removal. A durable shovel is another important piece of lawn equipment for a variety of landscaping tasks.
