Fall Yard Clean Up Checklist

When the final harvest rolls around and plants around your yard start to brown, it’s time to get your checklist ready to do some fall clean up. Preparing your yard for the changing season can truly benefit your home in the winter and even minimize some of your spring cleaning. You can even prepare your yard and garden for healthy growth in the upcoming year. Here is a quick look at our checklist to get your yard prepared during the autumn season.

  • Collect fallen leaves
  • Dig up dry plants
  • Clear gutters
  • Mow the lawn
  • Trim troublesome branches
  • Add compost to lawn and garden
  • Drain hoses and sprinklers
  • Clean tools
  • Store everything for the winter

Throw Fall Debris in Backyard Composters

Fall is the best time of year to collect brown materials for composting. The first item of our checklist is collecting the fallen leaves and dry plants around your yard. These materials make an excellent base for composting, and the sooner you start, the earlier you’ll have it for your garden in the spring. Also, be sure to check your gutters and make sure they are clear of debris. Some of these materials will also work great in your compost bin. Once you have raked your yard and gotten all those dry materials, you’ll need some green, or wet, materials for the compost.

The next step is to cut any tree branches that could cause a problem in the winter. If you have any branches you fear won’t be able to endure heavy snowfall, be sure to trim it before the snow falls. Cut that branch into small pieces of wood and add it to your compost pile. From there, mowing the lawn will provide great grass clippings that can add moisture to your compost mixture. If you are in need of a backyard composter, a rotating compost bin offers a great and simple solution to composting. It naturally creates the right conditions for the materials to decompose while also giving you an easy way to rotate the compost to allow for more oxygen flow.

If you already have a composter, the end of fall is an excellent time to use any compost you’ve made. Over the winter, it’ll spread powerful nutrients into your soil that will give you a beautiful garden next spring. You can also use compost in your lawn and get lush green growth next year. Compost is a great home fertilizer for your yard and garden, so don’t miss out on composting this fall!

Clean Your Tools and Store them Properly

When you are done doing all that work around your home, you’ll want to make sure your tools and equipment are clean and properly stored. Any leftover dirt and clippings should be cleaned off the tools to avoid rust over the winter. Do not forget to drain your sprinkler system and garden hose. Any leftover water can expand when it freezes in the cold weather and damage your hose and sprinkler system. Be sure to store your hose in a safe and dry place.

Depending on your needs, you can find a number of different storage solutions that allow you to keep your tools safe over the winter. Whether you need a small deck box for some gardening tools or an outdoor shed for your lawn mower, you can find all the right storage options through Lifetime. Here’s a quick look at some of the options you have for storing your fall clean-up tools.

Plastic Outdoor Storage Sheds and Outdoor Deck Box

A storage option provides extra space and protection for the tools you use around your home. As mentioned, an outdoor storage shed could be the perfect solution for your lawn mower while still offering shelving and space for smaller items. Best of all, you can get a shed in many different sizes so it is perfect to house exactly what you need. If you are looking for a smaller solution, Lifetime has other options available, too.

If you aren’t in need of a big shed, you can always opt for a deck box or a horizontal shed for smaller tools and equipment. These options are compact and can easily fit on your deck, porch, patio, or yard. A deck box gives you a compact storage space while a horizontal shed offers a bit more room if needed. You can find options for both products from Lifetime. Just find the size that best suits your needs and enjoy excellent protection for your belongings.
