As the crisp air of fall begins to settle in, it’s the perfect time to turn your attention to your yard. Fall landscaping prep is essential to ensure your lawn and garden thrive in the coming seasons. With a little effort now, you can enjoy a beautiful, healthy landscape next spring. Here’s a guide to getting your yard fall-ready.

1. Rake Those Leaves
   One of the first signs of fall is the colorful blanket of leaves covering your lawn. While they’re beautiful to look at, leaving them on your grass can lead to problems like mold growth and blocked sunlight. Grab a rake and clear away those leaves to keep your lawn healthy. If you have a lot of leaves, consider renting a push leaf blower or Billy Goat Vacuum to make the job easier.
2. Aerate Your Lawn
   Fall is the ideal time to aerate your lawn, especially if your soil is compacted or your grass gets heavy foot traffic. Aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the roots. This helps the grass grow stronger and more resilient. Need an aerator?

3. Fertilize for Future Growth
   After aerating, it’s time to fertilize. Fall fertilization provides your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the winter and come back lush and green in the spring. Rental Stop’s spreaders can help you evenly distribute the fertilizer across your lawn.
4. Prune Shrubs and Trees
   Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees. Pruning helps remove dead or diseased branches and shapes your plants for healthy growth. Be sure to use the right tools for the job and consider renting a pole saw for hard-to-reach branches. Proper pruning now will reduce the risk of damage from winter storms and improve the overall appearance of your landscape. Click here for Rental Stop’s tree pruner and Hedge Trimmers.
