Fall lawn-and-yard checklist
Take these steps now for a great-looking yard next spring
FALL CLEAN-UP The work you do now will result in a healthy lawn in spring.
Fall is one of the best times to improve your lawn, trees, shrubs, and garden. The basic maintenance you do during this "second
spring" after summer will pay off in healthier growth and fewer problems next spring and summer. And because soils are still
warm despite the falling temperatures, the weeks ahead are an ideal time to put many plants into the ground, no matter where
you live.
We've broken down the work you'll be doing now through the end of fall by areas of the yard. (They're listed above left, under In this report.) Inside each section, tasks are listed by importance.
