We are well into November and after this past October (which was a rain out for the most part) you may have fallen behind on your fall clean up and fall/winterizing fertilizer treatments for your planting beds and lawn.
It is a good practice to remove large accumulation of leaves from your lawn when the lawn is completely covered. Sometimes, you can grind/mulch the leaves into the lawn with your lawn mower and mulching attachment. However, often, there is just too much for the mower to handle and the collecting of leaves must be done manually and then the leaves must be hauled away.
Once the leaves and dead material are cleared away, it is a good idea to apply a “timed release” fertilizer to the planting beds and the lawn. Now is also a great time to install a coating of mulch to your planting beds. A coating of mulch will help protect your plantings from winter weather and give your plants a better chance of surviving the winter. The best time to do fall mulching is late fall, once the ground has begun to freeze but before the first snow fall.
I know the fall can be a busy time of year for many of us and in addition to being busy; the weather seems to be pretty volatile. One week-end the weather is cold and rainy, the next it’s sunny and 60 degrees. It’s hard to plan a time to get the yard work completed. That’s why so many people rely on landscape companies to perform their Fall Clean Up. Companies like A.G. VanGundy Landscape, Inc. can arrange our crews around the weather during the week. We take care of the disposal of the leaves (you don’t have to worry about leaf bags, stickers and getting the bags to the curb on a certain dates).
In addition to performing your fall clean up, we can also bring you a delivery of firewood. That way you’ll be all set up for the winter months. The outside will be cleaned up and ready for the spring weather and the inside can be kept warm and cozy during the cold & dreary months.
