Gardening Jobs to do in Autumn
Autumn is the perfect time to get your garden ready for winter and prepare it for the next spring season. Whether you're a homeowner with a green thumb or a professional gardener, there are plenty of gardening jobs to do in autumn that will ensure your garden looks neat and tidy throughout winter. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get started.
Clearing leaves from your lawn is the first and most important job to do in autumn. Leaves can form a layer that blocks water, air flow and nutrients from getting down to the root system. To make sure your lawn stays healthy and strong, we recommend using a spring tine rake such as our Stainless Steel Lawn & Leaf Rake. This rake is perfect for removing leaves from your lawn without damaging the grass.
Once you have cleared your lawn of leaves, it's time to give it one final mow for the season. Make sure to set your mower blades higher than you have been using in summer to leave your grass slightly longer for winter. This will help protect your lawn from frost and snow. Trim all of the edges using a lawn edging tool and lawn shears for the perfect finish.
Late autumn is the perfect time to give your lawnmower a thorough clean before packing it away for winter. Remove all grass and debris from the underside of your mower, clean the blades and make sure all parts are dry before storing it away.
Feeding your lawn in autumn will help it withstand the ravages of winter in tip-top condition. Use a specially formulated autumn lawn feed that'll keep your grass strong and healthy over the chilly months. This will also help prepare your lawn for the next spring season.
If you're thinking of starting a new lawn from seed, autumn is the perfect time to do so. Grass seed germinates quickly in autumn and soil temperatures are ideal for grass growth. Make sure to remove all weeds before sowing and incorporate well-rotted organic matter into the soil for added nutrients. This will help your new lawn establish quickly and become strong and healthy.

Clearing leaves from your lawn, mowing it for the final time, feeding it with specially formulated autumn lawn feed and starting a new lawn from seed are all important gardening jobs to do in autumn.
