Caring for your outdoor space in the fall, especially when it comes to leaves, is essential to maintain a healthy and beautiful landscape. Here are a few #CareForPlace Tips:⁠⁠ Raking and Mulching Leaves ⁠⁠Regularly rake fallen leaves to prevent them from smothering your lawn and garden. Consider using a mulching mower to shred leaves into small pieces. This adds organic matter to the soil and helps improve its quality.⁠⁠ Fall Lawn Care ⁠⁠Continue mowing your lawn at the appropriate height until it stops growing. Aerate the lawn to improve soil aeration and water penetration.⁠⁠ Garden Clean-Up ⁠⁠Remove dead or diseased plants and spent annuals from your garden beds. Add a layer of compost to the garden beds to enrich the soil.⁠⁠Inspect Trees and Shrubs ⁠⁠Prune any dead or damaged branches on trees and shrubs.⁠⁠ Clean Gutters ⁠⁠Clear leaves and debris from your gutters to ensure proper water drainage during fall rains.⁠⁠Caring for your outdoor space in the fall and managing leaves not only keeps your landscape looking tidy, but also helps to prepare it for the winter and ensures a healthy start to the following growing season.⁠⁠We want to hear your story! Send us a DM or click the link in bio to share how you care for place. ⁠ — from Instagram
