Get Your Yard Cleanup Before Summer

Get Your Yard Cleanup Before Summer

Only the diseased or the damaged wood should be pared off in the fall. You should wait till the shrubs are fully dormant before bearing any pruning. Unfolding the shrubs should be approached with a lot of caution and care over the downtime as some shrubs develop flower kids before they bloom. This means that for some species of shrubs, flower kids form in the fall that will bloom before the summer. This consists of some of the hydrangeas and magnolias, as well as many other shrubs and trees that flower before the approaching summer. Cutting these unfolding shrubs should be done in the early summer right after doing the unfolding, that is if you don’t want to reduce the number of flowers.

 Fall Yard Work For The Field

Don’t forget the cleanup of the field in your fall  Yard clean-up. Turf lawn conservation plays a significant part in it. Early fall is a good time to seed new field areas. You should cut the field to 3 inches high during the fall months before the freezing of the ground takes place. Icing the lawn at least 3 inches high will help the field develop strong roots. Use a mulching mower instead of combing the lawn slices. The slices return nitrogen to the lawn, which helps in feeding the lawn. The last cut before downtime can be shorter to help some growth while the lawnmower is stored down. Rake up the leaves to get rid of the fallen leaves on the lawn. Leaves will smother the lawn that is if they’re allowed to for a time long enough to produce a mat. Leaves help to make an excellent nutrient-rich splint earth compost.

Fall Yard Cleanup Ideas for the Whole Family

Yard Aeration

Still you should aerate the field with a core aerator to make sure the soil is compact. You can use a handheld core aerator for this purpose. Core aerator machines can easily be rented for an autumn from an original tool reimbursement business. The core aerator helps to eliminate the small deep entrapments from the field and deposits them on the soil top, introducing air voids into the field which relaxes it. When you ’re done, it’ll look as if the field has goose feces on it. We can also do one more thing that is to follow core aeration with an operation of compost.
