Fall Cleanup Checklist for Westchester Homeowners

A simple checklist to put your Westchester yard to bed before winter.

• Rake or blow leaves once most have dropped, usually late October into November, and keep them off the lawn so grass isn't smothered.
• Cut back spent perennials, leaving seed heads on a few for winter interest and birds.
• Plant spring bulbs before the ground freezes.
• Refresh bed edges and add mulch where it's thin.
• Overseed bare lawn patches in early fall if you haven't yet.
• Drain hoses and shut down outdoor water.
• Add seasonal color at the front entry. Our seasonal porch design takes care of it for you.
