End of fall cleanup and end of winter pruning are the two necessary tasks to prepare your landscape for a beautiful spring. Proper lawn maintenance before the ground freezes will protect your flowers and shrubs from colder temperatures.

Why Fall Cleanup Is a Necessary Part of Lawn Maintenance 

Fall cleanup removes debris from the landscape to keep the yard aesthetically pleasing as well as to strengthen and protect plant life. Debris restricts air and light from reaching plants, but the right amount of covering helps them survive winter. As such, have leaves, branches, and larger debris removed to discourage rodents and other pests from nesting. Then, have the leaves mulched and spread them over the flower beds and around young trees or shrubs to protect them from the cold.

You can hire a lawn care service to add a high-potassium fertilizer to the lawn to encourage root growth. They can also mow the yard before winter hits, keeping the mower on its highest setting. Cutting the grass too short can damage the root structure
