Now's the Time for Fall Yard Care

Fall is officially here. As the temperature drops, the time for fall yard work is imminent. If you've been putting off your fall yard care, now is the time to stop procrastinating. Taking care of your yard in the fall is how you ensure it returns healthy and beautiful when the weather begins turning warm again in the spring. This season, don't forget to schedule professional lawn services to assist with the following tasks:

• Leaf pickup. The biggest task every fall is taking care of those fallen leaves. Leaving leaves on your lawn for more than three or four days can be detrimental to your lawn's health. The grass that grows during the cooler fall months needs the sunlight, or your spring and summer lawn will suffer for it. Depending on the size of your lawn, raking can be a big task. Part of CD Lawn Maintenance's fall service includes leaf pickup.
• Aeration. Most yards don't have the ideal soil composition to grow healthy grass and need help to get there. Aeration reduces soil compaction and gives the grass an opportunity to take root and grow evenly, rather than in patches. Combining aeration with overseeding this fall means that once the warm weather returns, your lawn will be more beautiful than ever. CD Lawn Maintenance offers aeration services, and fall is the best time to take advantage of them.
• Winterizing. Your garden and lawn both need care to survive the upcoming winter. One of the best ways to protect your yard and promote seasonal growth is through winter fertilization. CD Lawn Maintenance is experienced in lawn winterizing and can help you prepare for the dormant months.
• Gutter cleaning. Your yard isn't the only thing that needs care in the fall. Don't let your house appear dirty and old by leaving the gutters clogged. Clogged gutters can cause issues with cold weather precipitation and should be cleaned by CD Law Maintenance professionals prior to the change of the season.
• Shrub trimming. Your cold weather plants need help to look their best throughout the season. The lawn care professionals at CD Lawn Maintenance understand how to properly trim and prune shrubbery so that it makes a beautiful return in the spring.

It's already October, and fall will give way to winter before you know it. In addition to scheduling a fall yard clean up, it's never too early to contact CD Lawn Maintenance to make snow removal arrangements for the winter months. For more information, please contact us today at 269-381-3000.
