Fall Cleanups That Prepare Your Landscape for Spring — Not Just a Sweep
Learn vital fall cleanup tasks to prevent disease, improve spring landscape performance, and reduce pest wintering sites for a healthier garden next year.
A quick leaf blow doesn’t equal a real fall cleanup. This time of year, strategic cleanup prevents disease, improves spring performance, and reduces pest wintering sites.
Key tasks to include this month
Remove leaf litter and thatch from turf and planting beds to reduce fungal pressure.
Collect and properly dispose of diseased plant material rather than mulching it into beds.
Inspect and clear gutters and drainage paths so melting snow has somewhere to go.
Soil and bed prep that pays off
Light soil aeration in compacted areas helps water infiltration and root respiration.
Apply targeted organic amendments and a thin layer of mulch to protect roots and lock in nutrients.
Leave seed heads for wildlife in select areas, but clear high-traffic ornamental beds.
