Our Fall 2018 tips to prep your home for winter

 

Landscaping

Fall is not all about raking the leaves. While you’re in your yard, you need to prepare the shrubs, flowers, and grass for winter.

The first tip is to pick up all the leaves. If you let them sit through the winter, they’ll decompose and get into the root system of your grass.
The end result will be grass that doesn’t grow.
If you want to seed the yard, it’s alright to over-seed but make sure it’s all down by October 15th.
