You might not worry about your home’s landscape design during the fall and winter since the weather in Upstate New York doesn't invite you to spend much time outdoors. However, there are several reasons to hire a landscaping company during the autumn months, such as readying your yard for winter. Here are some of the best reasons to hire a landscape service this fall.

Why Autumn Is the Time to Hire a Landscaping Company

1. Leaf Removal

Leaf removal feels like a never-ending project. It seems that trees conspire to shed their foliage only after you've raked up the last batch. A landscaping company can save you the time and aggravation by handling leaf removal themselves. They make quick work of it with the right tools and equipment and will come back next week to take care of the next batch.

2. Tree Pruning

Tree care in the autumn is often simpler and less expensive. Because trees are largely leafless, it's easier for the landscaper to assess their shapes and access branches for trimming. It's also an ideal time to remove weak or dying branches that might collapse under the weight of heavy snow.

3. Winterizing

A landscaping company will prepare your yard for winter. If you have one, they'll winterize your underground irrigation system. They'll cover any plants or shrubs that need protection from the cold weather, add mulch and ground cover to insulate their roots, and advise you on how to care for any species that require special attention during the winter months.

A landscaping company can remove leaves from your yard, carefully prune the trees, and prepare your outdoor space for winter.
