So, here is a brief list of things to ensure you get to before the first frost.

1. Irrigation & Sprinkler System Winterization

It has been a very very dry winter, and that means your home sprinkler system has been working over time. It’s incredibly important to be sure that your entire system (sprinkler heads, timers, lines, pipes, etc.) are inspected and prepared for the cold winter months. This is something that you should typically have done by a professional irrigation system installer. They are efficient at getting everything done properly, and will ensure that your sprinkler system is prepared for even the coldest of winters so that come next spring, everything is ready to start up again and bring precious water to your yard, plants, and trees.

2. Leaf-Clean Up

Although it hasn’t fully begun yet, you can already see the first signs that the trees will be changing their colors and dropping their leaves soon enough. Depending on the size of your yard and tree volume in your neighborhood, this could be something simple and fast, or it could be something that is time consuming and takes multiple effort to complete through the weeks. Here, having a team of professionals with all the right equipment and efficient experience in proper lawn maintenance is a plus. Because not all leaves fall at once, this is something that must be done periodically from now until the beginning of November.

3. Knowing Who To Hire

If you have a lawn care specialist who fertilizes and mows your lawn throughout the summer, let them know you’re thinking about the coming fall and would like to schedule a time for winterizing your irrigation system, and also leaf clean-up scheduling for the fall season. Typically its a great idea to be sure your sprinkler system is shut down by a team who is familiar with installation and winterization, because it does require specific knowledge about components and also requires licensing and insurance in order to ensure the water table is not compromised by chemicals or other hazards. Be sure to work with a landscaping team that knows your home, knows your irrigation system, and who is punctual and proficient.
