As the leaves fall and the winter season approaches, your lawn requires attention. More than just a typical cleaning, every serious landscaper will consider investing in fall cleanup before the first snow. Why does a fall cleanup matter?

While every lawn needs some form of winter preparation, a fall cleanup is an investment in the long-term health of your landscape, especially for the spring thaw. At Groundscapes, we have learned from over 20 years of experience how essential a fall cleanup is for ensuring your lawn doesn't wither and die. Below, our team of expert craftsmen break down the three most important reasons for scheduling a fall cleanup as soon as possible:

Reason 1: It Saves you Time and Money in the Future

Every leaf that is left on your lawn before the first snow, is a leaf that will suffocate your fine grass and slowly kill your lawn over the winter season. By ensuring that your lawn is cleaned up and prepared for winter, you can extend the longevity of your lawn and save money at the same time.

Reason 2: Your Equipment will Work Better in the Spring

Whether you need your water feature properly shut down and protected for the cold weather, or your sprinkler system blown out and stored away, a fall cleanup will preserve and prepare your lawn equipment and hardscapes. Come spring time, the systems will turn on and operate seamlessly despite the cold weather and many months of inactivity.

Reason 3: Your Landscape will Look Exceptional for the Holiday Season

In addition to the long-term value a fall cleanup has for the health and preservation of your lawn, it also brings a number of aesthetic benefits perfect for the holiday season. With your shrubs and perennials trimmed for a deep freeze and all leaves cleared away, you can be sure that with the first winter snow your lawn will become a real winter wonderland. For hosting events or having family over for the holidays, a fall cleanup is an essential step for preparing your lawn for winter.
