As the summer comes to a close, it’s a good time to do a little
end of season cleanup to prepare for the fall season just around the corner.
Garden
To
get ready for any fall planting to simply tidy up while you wait for spring
again, clean out garden pots and dry out or preserve any, fruits, vegetables,
or herbs you worked hard on all summer so they don’t go to waste.
Pool
Begin
to prep your pool for close by vacuuming, cleaning filters, testing balance in
the water, and safety storing pool floats and toys for the following year. Even
if you plan on leaving these items out during warm fall weather, it can’t hurt
to do some end of season cleaning!
Patio
Any
repairs that need to be taken care of should be done before foliage begins to
fall and the winter rolls around. Make sure you have a proper place to store
items, or invest in furniture covers that can take on rain and weathering.
Shed
Organize
your shed and put away tools, decorations, and items you no longer need out and
readily available. Take this time to reorganize, and bring rakes and wheel
barrels front and center so that when the leaves start to change and rougher
weather heads your way you are good and ready to take on fall lawn care.
Walkways
Make
repairs now while the outdoor weather is still comfortable. Once harsher
conditions roll around, damage will only get worse and your willingness to get
outside and make the repairs needed will probably lessen.
Weeding
Remove
all decaying plants, and clean up any unwanted growth to prepare for fall
plants to avoid having to deal with returning weeds in the spring.
Grass
Your
lawn still needs water beyond summer months. Make sure your hose and sprinklers
stay out, especially if you plan on planting or fertilizing during the fall.
Fall
is a busy time of year, make sure you get organized and prep before the new
season begins!
