Fall is not officially here just yet, but it's never too early to start preparing for the next season. Getting your Pittsburgh Area lawn ready and maintained now means setting your yard up for a beautiful spring next year.
One way you can prepare your yard as the days grow cooler is by hiring a service for professional lawn cleanup in Pittsburgh.
Let's take a look at some techniques...
Aeration should take place at least once a year to properly circulate oxygen and nutrients to the roots of your grass. This encourages root development before the cold weather sets in and loosens the soil enough to encourage growth.
Removing leaves and additional debris from your yard is important for two reasons. First, it makes your yard look better as the leaves continue to fall. Debris removal keeps your grass from being weighed down and crushed and prevents the growth of fungi and diseases that can harm your grass and spread across your yard.
The final cuts of the season are important to prepare your grass for next spring. It encourages growth, even through the cold Pittsburgh winters, and helps clear away any remnants of debris missed by leaf blowers or rakes.
Fall is a good time to trim trees and bushes back to keep them healthy and protect your home during the winter. The shock of cuts is less traumatic to plants as they get ready to hibernate for the winter, and trimming back branches prevents them from being overcome with snow during the winter.
