Autumn is the perfect time of year to take charge of your property. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your home’s curb appeal or prepare it for the upcoming elements, it’s important that no corner is left unturned. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some prominent suggestions to get that autumnal ball rolling:
Have a pesky tree on your property, with branches that obstruct the sidewalk? Instead of handling the task in the summer — hack the branch off in the fall. It’s the perfect season to take care of this matter since plants are slowly going dormant for the winter — slowly ceasing new growth until the spring. As an added benefit, with less leaves, clean up will be a lot simpler compared to a branch with full-foliage.
Are leaving beginning to accumulate in your gutter at an alarming rate? If this is the case, or not, then it’s time to clean your gutters out immediately! Since your gutters tend to accumulate an array of foliage in autumn, it’s important to take action and make sure your gutters are clear enough to drain when needed — since this will eliminate the chance of any damage to come. If you’re unable to clean your gutters out, or feel your safety might be at risk, then it’s important to call a professional right away.
Despite the change in weather, it’s important to still continue mowing your lawn. Autumn is the most essential season to prepare your lawn for the upcoming months — and eventually when summer makes its grand return. To ensure that your grass isn’t deprived of oxygen, it’s important to give your lawn a slightly shorter cut. When you complete this process, it will then create more room for growth, and will ensure a healthy lawn when spring arrives!
