Here are three steps to being ready for winter when it gets here.
1) My favorite is hire someone to do it. When I was a real person, this was us but now I’m blessed to work with many young professionals in Bni and not that I can recommend to do the next two steps. If you are looking for help outside to mow, do leaves, power wash, paint, seal pavers, plant shrubs for next year, the list is limitless please call me to find you a professional that will not disappoint.
2) If this work is your therapy, then now is the time to keep regular mowing up probably every 10 days right up till winter shuts us down. That could be 3 to 6 cuts from where we now are and on each this is when we mulch in the leaves. Do not get serious with leaves now because you are one puff of wind from having a new bunch. Just mow them in and if they are particularly heavy in one location blow them around so the whole lawn can take advantage of the fiber. I know you all have been cutting at 3 ½ inches so now is when we drop that a half inch to 3 on our next cut. This adds some more clippings to the leaves aiding in the lawn composting process taking place in your lawn. Stay there for one cut then drop it to 2 ½ for the rest of the cuts. This aids in composting and lessons the opportunity for snow mold under a heavy coat of snow.
