Must-do Fall Yard Work Tasks

Fall is finally here and it is time to 

officially prep the yard for winter.

It is better to prepare before hand 

before it gets too cold!

Here are some of the the top yard tasks 

you should do before winter:

Clean, Weed, and Fertilize

Clean out and weed your garden.

Turn the soil while it's still easy to work

and you'll save yourself a lot of backbreaking

labor in the spring.

Finish by covering the weed-free beds

with a layer of organic fertilizer

such as chicken or steer manure.

Mulch

Once the garden beds have been fertilized,

cover them with fallen leaves or straw.

Put a mulch layer around the trees and shrubs

to protect them from freezing.

Plant Spring-blooming Bulbs

Spend a few hours planting a mixture of bulbs

in both pots and in the ground.

This way, you can enjoy an array of

color and beauty in the early spring.

Transplant Shrubs and Perennials

Trees and shrubs that have outgrown their areas,

or need to be moved for other reason,

may be safely transplanted this time of the year.

Trim Away

Cut back and shape shrubs, trees, and plants

such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and rhododendrons.

Preserve Herbs

Process and transplant the last of summer herbs

It's a good time to dry the herbs and freeze them

or make herb vinegars and oils

so they will be ready for holiday use and gift-giving.

Pre-winterize Plants and Trees

Bring winter-over and other tender plants inside.

Tie limbs of upright evergreens and plants

to prevent them from breaking in high winds and heavy snow.

Prep Hoses and Outdoor Faucets for Cold

Disconnect all hoses, roll them up

and store with sprinklers and wands.

Insulate all exposed pipes and exterior water faucets

to prevent them from freezing.

Service and Clean Tools

Nothing is worse than trying to do a job

with rusted or poorly working equipment or tools.

This is the perfect time to clean,

sharpen and oil garden tools,

as well as clean and service lawnmowers 

and weed eaters.
