Falling Leaves? What to do?

Days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, the weather is getting colder, and leaves are beginning to cover the ground as you and the trees prepare for winter. 

It may be tempting to just leave the foliage on your lawn for the winter, but if you want a healthy lawn come spring, you will want to clean it up. Letting the leaves remain on your yard thru the winter prevents sunlight from reaching the grass and could result in mold and bacteria. It is suggested that you wait until most of the leaves have fallen to save you from multiple cleanups.

If you don't like raking, you can easily use a lawn vac to turn them into useful mulch. Another option would be to use a mulching mower and just mow over them, turning them into a great natural fertilizer for your yard. 

You can count on us if disaster strikes.
