Clean Out Your Shed and/or Garage

Many things that may have been outdoors all summer may now need to be stored for the fall and winter months. Cleaning out your shed and/or garage now before it is cold can make the job a lot easier. Be sure to organize as you go and dispose of broken or unused items. You may want to add shelves, hooks, and pegboards to make storage easier as well.

Stocking up on necessary supplies can make fall cleanup so much easier. Do a quick inventory of what you have and then create a list of what you need. Garbage bags, rubber bins, yard tools, and cleaning supplies are some of the things you will probably need. Check out all of your fall essential tools like rakes, leaf blowers, and trimmers. Make sure they are in good condition and ready to be used.

If you don't have one already, find a reliable contractor for gutter cleaning and pressure washing services. Most homes need a thorough gutter cleaning by the end of the season. Scheduling these types of services well in advance can ensure that your home is serviced in a timely manner.

Set your yard up for success in the spring. Fertilizing your yard into the winter provides it with what it needs to survive during the colder months. Adding a fall lawn fertilizer with high phosphorous content can help your yard flourish come spring.
