Believe it or not, winter is right around the corner which means it’s fall cleanup time. To ensure your yard survives another harsh winter, Jamie Wayne, owner of JR Property Services, has some easy tips.

“It may seem obvious but is important to collect and remove the majority of leaves on your lawn,” Wayne said. “This helps reduce snow mold, and reduces brown spots from blocking the sun’s ray on the grass. Too many leaves left over winter will smother and kill grass.”

Fall fertilizer and core aeration are other great things to do in the fall for your lawn.

“Leaving the lawn with the nutrients it needs before going dormant, and doing core aeration will help decompress the lawn before having the weight of snow on it all winter. This also allows for more water retention come the spring thaw.” said Jamie

“Finally, cutting the lawn shorter in October can reduce the likelihood of attracting voles, which can damage lawns badly over winter, leaving shallow tunnels on top of the lawn,” Wayne said.

Jamie has been in business since 2017, serving River Heights, Charleswood and Tuxedo. He offers services from core aeration to weekly lawn care, spring and fall cleanups, dump runs, snow removal and more.Contact him at jrear13@hotmail.com or by calling 204-218-7797.
