Autumn Cleanup Checklist: Prepare Your Yard for Winter

As the vibrant hues of autumn grace Wichita Falls and its neighboring communities, it's time to think about preparing your yard for the colder months ahead. A well-executed autumn cleanup ensures your landscape remains healthy and beautiful, ready to bounce back when spring arrives. Here’s a comprehensive checklist crafted by Greenwood Landscaping, your trusted local experts, to help you protect and enhance your outdoor spaces.

1. Leaf Removal

Autumn in Texas brings a cascade of leaves. While they may look picturesque, leaving them unattended can smother your grass and promote mold growth. Regular leaf removal is crucial. Greenwood Landscaping offers seasonal yard clean-up services, meticulously removing leaves to maintain a pristine yard. By ensuring your lawn breathes freely, we set the stage for robust growth come spring.

2. Lawn Mowing and Trimming

Before the first frost, give your lawn a final mow. Keeping your grass at the optimal height allows it to store energy and resist winter diseases. Mowing and trimming, part of Greenwood’s Residential Lawn Maintenance services, keep your lawn healthy and tidy. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment to achieve a precise cut, setting a foundation for a lush springtime lawn.

3. Garden Bed Preparation

Prepare your garden beds for the cold season by removing dead plants and applying a layer of mulch. This not only protects roots from frost but also enriches the soil. Greenwood Landscaping’s garden care services include expert weeding and mulching, ensuring your plants remain vibrant. By catering to each garden’s unique needs, we create an inviting space even during winter’s quiet months.

4. Tree Pruning and Hedge Trimming

Autumn is an ideal time for tree pruning and hedge trimming. This crucial service promotes healthy growth and prevents potential winter damage. Our tree trimming service offers expert pruning, thinning, and deadwood removal. We enhance the visual appeal and longevity of your trees, ensuring they withstand the challenges of the season.

5. Inspect Outdoor Structures

Inspect your patios, walkways, and outdoor kitchens for any repair needs. Cracks or damages should be addressed before winter worsens them. Greenwood Landscaping’s hardscaping services include walkway and driveway construction, ensuring these features remain safe and appealing throughout the year. Our meticulous attention to detail safeguards your investment against winter’s harsh conditions.

6. Lawn Fertilization

Applying a fall-specific fertilizer strengthens grass roots, helping them store nutrients for winter. Greenwood Landscaping provides fertilization services, using eco-friendly products that support a healthy lawn. By tailoring our approach to your lawn’s specific requirements, we encourage resilience through the colder months.

7. Water Feature and Irrigation Check

Check water features and irrigation systems for any maintenance needs before temperatures drop. Proper winterization prevents burst pipes and water damage. Greenwood Landscaping specializes in water features, ensuring they are well-maintained and ready for winter rest. Our professional touch preserves your investments, providing peace of mind.

8. Plant New Shrubs and Trees

Autumn’s cooler air and warm soil make it an excellent time for planting. New shrubs and trees can establish roots before winter sets in, flourishing by spring. Our Landscaping Services offer personalized planting plans, selecting species that thrive locally, and complement your landscape’s beauty.
