Have Your Yard Winter Ready

With winter comes cold and wet weather, disregarded lawns can sustain harsh damage from winter elements. Avoiding proper fall yard cleanup will leave your lawn in a weak and vulnerable state that is prone to damage from the cold, pests, diseases, and more. Leaf buildup will suffocate your lawn, depriving it of air and sunlight, both essential for its growth. Ensure your lawn is in the best shape possible before the cold winter months hit,  hiring a professional guarantees all leaf pileups and debris have been properly removed from your lawn.

Fall Cleanups equals New Grass Growth in Spring

When leaves and debris build on top of your lawn, they crush your grass preventing new growth from penetrating in the spring. Permitting debris, leaf buildup and organic matter to lounge in your yard will smother your lawn, this will prevent water evaporation, trapping in moisture which subsequently encourages mold growth, moss, fungi, and other lawn diseases that will destroy and eventually kill your lawn.

Weeding, Aeration and Overseeding

• Weed removal:  Removing weeds from your lawn will free up valuable space for new grass to grow in the springtime.
• Aeration:  Aeration will help break up compacted soil allowing nutrients to penetrate deep down into the soil and feed your grass roots. 
• Overseeding:  Overseeding after aeration submerges your lawn with new seeds that will germinate and grow in the springtime.

Removing Debris Gets Rid of Hazardous Pests

Debris and leave pileups pose health risks for your lawn, and welcome potentially hazardous pests that can hurt you, your family and your pets. Some pests such as spiders and snakes can be dangerous, in some cases even deadly. Permitting leaves and debris to accumulate on your lawn provides a protective layer for pests such as: snakes, spiders, fire ants, and other pesky pests.
