The Importance of Autumn Tidy Ups
As autumn approaches, the temperatures drop and leaves start to fall, it is the ideal time to think about getting your garden booked in for an autumn tidy up.
Having a good tidy up is crucial for your garden at this time of year as it helps to keep it looking
neat and tidy throughout the winter and stops the fallen foliage from leaving your garden looking unruly and damaging the grass.
The key aspects to an autumn tidy up can include:
Autumn is a great time to take care of your lawn. It is still a good time to mow the lawn and is an ideal time to tend to any lawn care, to help your lawn flourish in the next year. Feed and Weed treatments help by replenishing any bare areas of grass, to ensure you have a thick lawn for the springtime. Trimming your lawn borders also allows for a neat looking lawn.
Over the October and November months leaves start to fall and crowd your garden, driveways, and footpaths. Clearing these up and removing them allows you to avoid your garden becoming muddy and avoids the leaves becoming wet and slippery, making your garden safer and cleaner.
As the weather gets colder, the structure of your hedges can change. This makes it a good time to give your hedges a touch up and shape to ensure your garden boundary continues to look smart.
Autumn is also an ideal time to prune your trees ready for the winter and to tidy up your borders. This includes removal of any dying leaves and collapsed stems and the removal of any weeds. Cutting the stems of flowering stems such as Filipendula, Helianthus, Crocosmia and Euphorbia can ensure that they are provided appropriate care, and the flowers are prepared to flower in the spring following the winter cold blast.
Spreading fresh compost over your plants in the autumn helps to insulate plant roots preparing them for the frost of the colder months.
