Whether you hire a landscaping company or prefer doing touch-ups yourself, fall is a wonderful time to give your lawn a little love—especially if you’re dealing with bare spots! Reseeding your lawn in the fall is an excellent idea because the cooler temperatures encourage growth. There are also fewer weeds for sprouting grass to compete against. Come spring, your lawn will look good as new!
CLEAN
Gutters
It may not be the most glamorous of fall home maintenance projects, but ensuring your gutters are squeaky clean is a must. A build-up of leaves and debris inside your gutters can prevent rain and melting snow from draining properly, which can result in significant water damage. Clear out dead leaves, branches, and other debris. While you’re at it, look for and repair cracked or loose gutter segments and double-check that drain spouts are directed away from the house.
