Fall is an exciting season filled with many different outdoor activities, from raking the fall leaves to enjoying thanksgiving and Halloween festivities. That being said, it is crucial to remember the importance of grooming your yard during the season, as it will impact how your yard turns out in the spring.
Some of the important fall yard cleaning activities include:
Raking Leaves and Cleaning Out Debris
Fallen leaves are the fastest way for your lawn to lose the necessary sunlight and moisture it needs to grow. To avoid this, you’ll need to resort to traditional raking as much as you can. Rake as soon as you begin to see the leaves fall to ensure that the passageways don’t get blocked. Pay attention to your flower beds and constantly clear away the falling leaves to free them of pest infections.
Trimming Trees and Shrubs
One way to avoid excess in your yard is to prune overgrown trees and dead branches as soon as you notice them. Fall allows you to keep your trees and shrubs at an ideal height. Regular trimming provides your yard with a soil-enhanced mulch that not only looks good but also works to protect your tree branches during the winter months.
Manually Pulling Out Weeds and Flowers
Sometimes it is necessary to manually pull out the difficult weeds with your hands to ensure that you are reaching the difficult areas without destroying your shrubs.
Watering When Needed
There are generally a lot of rainy days in the fall that results in less evaporation and provides natural moisture for your lawn. However, it’s still necessary to pay close attention to the water retention level of your lawn with a rain gauge. The natural moisture may not be enough to sustain your lawn down to the roots. If it’s not sufficient, you should balance it up by watering it when needed.
Some other necessary yard cleaning measures you can carry out include
- Clearing your gutters,
- Protecting cold-sensitive plants such as Citrus, Avocados, Bougainvillea, Fuchsias, and Succulents
- Applying nitrogen-rich fertilizers to plants.
Here are some of the tools we recommend.
As easy as these cleaning measures sound, they can be frustrating if they aren’t done with the right tools. Please see our recommended tools below.
Pruning Shear and Heavy Pruning Shear
While regular trimming isn’t something you can overlook in the fall, picking out the right types of pruning shears will make the task a lot easier. Garden Your Senses offers both Pruning shears and heavy pruning shears. These tools will help you rid your lawn of overgrown trees and dead branches. The anvil pruner type causes the wood fibers to separate without much effort. The stainless steel blade of the AIRAJ pruning shears allows for strength and long-lasting durability. The handles are light weight and have comfortable slip-resistant hand grips.
Digging Gloves and Gardening Gloves
Although the majority of gardeners may not enjoy manually pulling out weeds, it is important to protect your hands with safe gloves that don’t affect the flowers. Garden Your Senses provides two types of gloves that serve your digging and weeding needs the right way. They are lightweight, safe, and have the right amount of thickness, so you don’t have to worry about sweaty hands or dirt getting into your gloves.
Watering Cans and Pipes
Make your yard watering more effective and worthwhile by using the ranging watering equipment from the Garden Your Senses. When fall comes, you may not be able to water your lawn the same way you did during summer. Therefore, it can be beneficial to implement the use of rain gauges to measure how much water you need. You can then proceed to use watering cans to supply water to your plants. You can also measure your watering, to ensure that you do not overhaul your lawn with moisture.
