Getting Your Yard Ready for Winter

It’s inevitable; it’s time to get your yard ready for winter. It’s really a pretty simple set of tasks and you should be able to get it all done in a weekend. OK maybe a couple; after all, it is football season. Here’s a few things that will get you started;

• Rake the leaves, or better yet use a bagging lawnmower.
• Give your lawn a good last mow and it’s OK to leave some mulch.
• Give your lawn some fresh air, aerate it.
• Seed those bare spots.
• Throw some fertilizer (slow release nitrogen is best)on it.
• Give it a quick shot of water to dissolve the fertilizer.
• Blow out your sprinkler system and disconnect your hoses from the house.
