Fall Landscape Tips For Your Home
Summer may be over, but that doesn't mean it's time to give up on your lawn and landscaping efforts. There are still lots of things that need to be done in regards to outdoor maintenance, but first up is your fall landscape decorating! To create a beautiful fall landscape that you can be proud of, you can spend the time doing it yourself, or you can hire a professional. Here are a few creative landscaping ideas for fall to get you started.
Put those pumpkins to good use! Along with hay bales and pots of colorful chrysanthemums, make a fall display for your front yard, patio or even your front porch steps. By placing pumpkins and hay bales at different heights and planting mums in old wood apple buckets and placing them around the pumpkin and the hay bales, you can achieve a beautiful fall landscaping point of interest.
Use gourds, hay bales, corn stalks and scarecrows to create visual interest around light posts and around entry doors. These natural elements will be beautiful and give a touch of fall to your property and landscape.
These fall landscaping tips can really make your property into something beautiful, but before you greet those trick-or-treaters with your fall display, make sure you do some fall clean up on your lawn and landscape first. Raking is considered a sometimes tedious job and although it may seem never ending, it should be done to improve the look of your property and the health of your lawn. Here are a few raking tips to make raking go easier this fall:
-Always rake downwind, otherwise you will spend time raking up the same leaves, over and over again.
-Don't stand in one place while raking to avoid the backaches that may come from using those back muscles that aren't used to this kind of workout.
-Move your feet and legs as you bed and twist to avoid pain in your back and shoulders.
-Dress for the occasion. Wearing long pants and gloves can help you avoid stinging insects, snakes and other pests that may be hiding in amongst the leaves.
As you can see, fall landscape cleanup and decorating can be a lot of work. If you find you just don't have the time for raking and fall decorating but you'd like to hire professional landscapers to do the job, contact your local lawn and landscape professionals.
