Fall Tips

We hope everybody is having a great fall so far! Thankfully it hasn't been too cold yet so we've been enjoying this nice weather. As we get into the middle of autumn, we wanted to help you keep your lawn in good shape. Thankfully, a Napa landscape maintenance company has provided some tips for dealing with leaves.

• Use a leaf blower. A leaf blower is a quick and easy alternative to raking. Blow the leaves onto a tarp to be disposed of or into a pile near the street.
  
• Don’t wait. Piles of leaves left in the yard are not only an eyesore, but can kill your grass. It’s best to remove leaves from your yard multiple times rather than waiting to do it once at the end of the season.
  
• Use a mower. Kill two birds with one stone with your lawnmower. While mowing your yard, make sure to mow over leaves. If your lawnmower has a grass catcher, take out the collected leaf clipping and use them to mulch your gardens.
  
• Recycle. After collecting the leaves, use them as mulch or in a compost pile. These options promote healthy soil and will contribute to the growth of healthy trees and plants.
