Fall season embodies nature’s beautiful transformation as summer fades. The nature’s color palette starts painting the trees with rich warm hues –fiery reds, golden yellows and burnt oranges.  While many of us enjoy the beauty of fall season by observing the stunning transformation of trees as this vibrant autumn foliage creates a spectacular, colorful landscape, but it also reminds us of the beginning of a tedious task- fall cleanup. We need to spare time from our daily schedule as the fall is at its bloom and our gardens seem to be full of bright colored leaves with each passing day.

It seems intimidating to clean the heaps of withered leaves from your backyard, but if you take services from professionals like MPR Landscapes, the tedious task of fall cleanup will be something you do not have to worry about!

We are just a call away to provide you with our expert services and to help you accomplish this tiresome task easily.

❇️ Why Fall Cleanup is Beneficial for Your Garden!

You should be aware as why Fall Cleanup is beneficial for your garden. Here are a few reasons to clean your backyards as fall approaches:

Fall-season
  • Prevents Fungal Diseases and pests: Fall cleanup removes debris of fallen leaves and other dead plant material that nourishes not only pests but also gives rise to various plant diseases. If these leaves remain on the ground, they absorb moisture and make an ideal habitat for fungal growth and insects infiltrations. By removing these dead leaves, you can easily get rid of the threat of the diseases caused by pests and insects.

  • Promotes Lawn Health: The organic matter collected in the form of leaves and grass clippings are further transformed into compost, which improves the health of your garden as it increases the ground fertility, and your lawn will be well prepared for the following spring.

  • Reduces Weed Growth: By removing weeds during fall prevents them from reseeding and reduces their presence in spring, making more room for the types and variety of the seasonal plants in the blooming season of spring.

  • Promotes Wildlife Habitats: Removing debris for fall cleanup is important but you need to do it strategically without destroying the habitats of some of useful insects and plant species. If some areas with fallen leaves and branches are left, these areas will tend to provide shelter to some insects, small animals and birds. In this way, you can support biodiversity and the wildlife habitats could be maintained through winter.

  • Promotes Efficient Water Management: Cleaning up leaves and debris prevents clogged gutters and drains, which can lead to water accumulation in your yard or near the foundation of your home. A neat and properly maintained garden, with appropriate mulching and debris removal, helps prevent soil erosion caused by winter rains and melting snow.

  • Improves Aesthetic Appeal: By removing debris of dead plants and fallen branches, your garden will give an attractive look even in winter, thus transforming your landscape and improving the aesthetic value of your garden.

  • Increased Overall Value of Your Property: An aesthetically appealing garden attracts the customers much more than an unkempt and shabby garden full of debris and dead leaves. If you wish to sell your property, a neat and well-maintained garden will add much value to your property.

❇️ What services MPR Landscapes Offer for Fall Cleanup!

MPR Landscapes offers a variety of services for fall cleanup; some of these are outlined below:

Fall Cleanup
  • Removal of leaves and bagging Debris: Landscape professionals use a systematic and efficient approach to remove leaves and bag debris during fall cleanups. Their expertise for assessing the yard for the amount of leaves and debris, using specialized tools and equipment, allows them to complete the task quickly while ensuring that your yard is left neat, attractive, free of unwanted debris and ready for winter.

  • Removal of Annuals: Annuals are the plants that complete their entire life cycle—germination, growth, flowering, seed production, and death—within a single growing season. Once they die off at the end of their growing cycle, they do not return the following year unless reseeded. Removing annuals during fall cleanup is crucial for maintaining plant health, preventing diseases and pests, enhancing garden aesthetics, and preparing the soil for the next growing season. This step is part of creating a balanced and booming garden ecosystem.

  • Winterization of Flower and Plant Beds: To ensure that plants survive and thrive in the upcoming spring season, winterization of flower and plant beds is carried out. The objective is to prepare and protect gardens, flowerbeds and plants including perennials, bulbs, and shrubs from harsh winter weather conditions like snow, frost and cold winds. This tedious process protects your garden from diseases and pests. The process involves removing dead leaves and debris, cleaning, removing perennials, watering, mulching, protecting sensitive plants and bulbs, fertilizing and soil amendments etc.

  • Gunny Wrapping of Shrubs and Bushes: Winter winds can dry out the leaves of evergreen shrubs and bushes, leading to desiccation or “windburn.” Gunny Wrapping involves wrapping shrubs and bushes with gunny sacks also known as burlap. It helps reduce exposure to the drying winds, protects the plants against frost and ice, prevents sunscald and shields against wildlife.
