Doing a fall clean-up is a job that many people do themselves. Other people pay an experienced lawn care company to come out and do it for them. Either way, here are the correct steps to take to make any fall clean-up look professional. 

When KG Landscape does our fall clean-ups, we cut back all flowering small plants except grasses. We cut the grasses back in the spring so there is still some winter interest. You can also cut back roses and hydrangeas at this time if they are getting a little scruffy. 

2. Blow leaves out of plant beds

3. Turn your mower to the mulching setting.

Then mulch the lawn at least 2 times in opposite directions. Mulching the leaves reduces the size of the debris so you don’t have to bag up as often. A standard yard should be able to fit all mulched material into 2 garbage cans instead of 25+ bags of straight leaves. 

4. Turn your mower to the bagging setting and bag the mulched debris

Lots of very small pieces of leaves won’t be sucked up and can be left as fertilizer on the lawn. If you have sandy or clay soil, the small leaf pieces are a big boost of organic material so leaving some is not a big deal.

If you don’t like how it looks with some mulch debris left in the lawn, you can simply use a blower to do a final detailed cleanup at the end.
