Leaves Are Falling All Around…

We are much obliged for a pleasant Summer stay, are we not? Now the Autumn moon lights our way as the sun goes down earlier every day, and you’re probably noticing the increasing crunch of leaves underfoot. The task of raking up leaves, bagging them, and hauling them out to the curb is just one more thing added onto an already busy Fall schedule, but it needs to be done for several reasons:

Your Lawn Will Thank You

Leaves covering the lawn might be a quintessential Fall vision, but in reality, those leaves need to be cleared away in order to allow your grass to soak up the last bits of sunlight before Winter and the nutrients that come with it. Build-up of leaves can lead to unwanted bugs and pests that can wreak havoc on the lawn’s root system, as well as disease like brown patch and snow mold, among others. It also causes thatch build-up, which is dead organic material that provides the lawn with nutrients, but too much of it can suffocate the grass.

Let The Pros Handle It

Hiring a professional landscaping company like Spencer’s Tree and Landscape Solutions to come handle your leaf removal will greatly reduce the amount of work your lawn will need in the Spring. We will get it done quickly and efficiently, and ensure that all your landscaping is in great shape for when the warmer Ohio months return.

Prep Your Landscaping For The End of Summer

Though it seems as though summer has just begun, time is flying by this year! As the temperatures get ready to start dropping, there are several things you can do to prep your lawn and landscaping for the Fall and Winter months.

Lawn Care

Depending on the amount of rain that has fallen during the Summer months, your lawn could look green and luscious, or it could be a bit brown and lifeless. To help maintain the health of the turf, we can provide grub control in the lawn. Grubs eat the root systems of turf which affects the whole plants ability to survive. We also fertilize to give the turf the nutrients that it needs and provide weed control which helps reduce or eliminate competition from weeds. Our expert team can help with this!

Monitoring Pests

Insects can wreak havoc on your plants and shrubs during the dry summer heat, as can squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. Reach out to us for recommendations on how to keep them away!

Checking for Dead Limbs

Dead branches and limbs can be treacherous to your home and landscaping if they are to fall during a thunderstorm. Have an expert come out and evaluate the hazard of the tree; specifically the location of the tree, the species of the tree, the age of the tree, the health of the tree and the structural integrity and architecture or its growth habit. You can also prune shrubs and low branches to keep them away from walkways, air conditioning units, and your house.
