Paying attention to your outdoor spaces before winter will save you time, energy and even money.  American Artists Landscaping can do some things in the Fall that will pay big dividends next Spring:

• Mow the lawn one more time. Setting the mower to a low setting to give the lawn a short cut in the fall will help the soil dry out in the spring, which makes for a healthier lawn.
• Pay attention to perennials. This was a good year for many perennials. Cut back the dead leaves to give them the best start in the spring. Dividing them and adding them to bare spots in the garden.  This will not only add beauty to your yard, but save money on new plants.
• Remove dead branches and/or dead trees. Winter weather with heavy snow and ice build-up can be hazardous when allowed to build up on dying or dead branches or trees that could fall on your house – or you!
• Prune trees and shrubs.
• Rake the leaves and clean the debris. Leaves left on the lawn can suffocate the grass. Fallen leaves, weeds and dead plants are not only unsightly, but can harbor unwanted insects and animals. Cleaning up in the fall will save a lot of time and energy next spring.
• Aerate the lawn and the garden. Breaking up the soil will help nutrients reach roots over the winter.
• Fertilize. Adding the nutrients your lawn needs will help it survive the longer winter and encourage new root growth.
