Keeping Your Yard Safe This Fall




Fall yard clean up is almost here and as you make your to-do list, we have a few things you’ll want to add. Prepping your yard now and keeping it safe is vital and beyond, the leaf clean up, there are a few minor things you can do to make your winter and spring to-do list a bit shorter!


De Summarize
Now that autumn is here — it’s time to get your yard ready for the first leaf fall! As you begin to close your pool and put away your pool floats, don’t forget to keep your electrical equipment in a safe and kid-free area. Drain your garden hose thoroughly, and turn off your outdoor faucets too.

Keep it Leaf Free
One of the best ways to prevent falls and slips is to stay on top of fallen leaves. Whether you use a leaf blower or a traditional rake, you’ll want to keep your walkways and driveways free of leaves. Wet leaves on a path can turn into a slippery situation that might just leave someone on the floor, so avoid the major pile up, and get rid of them as they fall.

Prepare for the First Snow
To keep your spring maintenance low, you’ll want to prepare now for the first snowfall. While you are cleaning your gutters, make sure they aren’t draining on your driveway. If you haven’t already — edge your driveway to allow for snow and drain-off to have a place to go!

Seal Your Driveway 
Sealing your driveway is the best way to get years of use out of it! Just don’t forget to repair any holes or cracks prior. A driveway should be at least a year old before being sealed too.
