Fall Yard Projects to Tackle as the Weather Cools
(BPT) - The temperature may not
have dropped just yet, but make
no mistake, fall is coming. Soon
enough, baseball will give way
to football, green leaves will turn
yellow and red and your lawn care
routine will take on a whole new
set of tasks. Fall lawn care isn’t the
long marathon of the summer yard
season, but it packs plenty of work
into a few short months before the
winter. You can make this lawn care
blitz a little bit easier by applying
the following tips.
Stimulate Your Lawn
While your grass may no longer
need its weekly mowing in the fall,
you can’t ignore it until spring. Look
for brown, tan or white patches on
your lawn, as this can be a sign of
mold growth. Apply a lawn fungicide
to halt this growth and an organic
fertilizer to stop its spread and support
future root growth.
Blow those Leaves Away
Raking leaves can be a Herculean
task, so simplify the process by investing in
a lithium-ion blower. The Greenworks 60-volt
Backpack Blower is a heavy-duty solution
perfect for homeowners with a quarter to
three-quarters of an acre to cover. And for
yard-lovers that prefer a handheld blower,
Greenworks has you covered there too! Both
solutions are lightweight and reduce noise
while eliminating emissions, and because
they’re battery powered, you don’t have to
bother with mixing gas and oil.
Seed and Sod
If you do notice patches of dead grass in
your yard - a common occurrence if fallen
leaves have not been blown away - don’t
wait until spring to address the issue. Overseeding
the area can rectify the problem
if the spaces are small. If your lawn has
significant portions that have died, it may
be time to look into sodding options instead
for more comprehensive coverage.
A Fresh Spray Clean
A season’s worth of wind and rain can
leave the sides of your home looking pretty
dingy. Fall cleanup is the perfect
time to give your home a reset
by spraying down your siding,
decks, and patios. Greenworks
2200 PSI Electric Pressure
Washer is an environmentally
friendly gas-alternative solution
with five nozzles that allow you
to adjust the tool’s water pressure
based on the task at hand. The
pressure washer is also designed
with Smart Response Technology
to adjust motor RPMs as nozzles
are changed, ensuring the perfect
water flow for every job - and the
on board LED display guides you
to the best job for each nozzle,
letting you clean your home in
a smart, efficient way.
A Hole in the Ground
Supports Future
Growth
Fall is arguably the best time
of year to aerate your yard,
allowing water, oxygen and fertilizer
to more easily reach the
root structure of your grass. Self-propelled
aerators are relatively inexpensive, and you
can also rent one if you plan to make this
a once-a-year chore. Whatever you decide,
tackling this chore now will allow your lawn
to grow back thicker and fuller next year
when it will be time to start thinking about
spring lawn care once again. •
