The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute notes that Autumn is the perfect time to put in the yard work that will determine how healthy, verdant and tidy your yard will be next summer. Continuing to mow the grass will help it to stay healthy and pest-free and get enough sun. Aerating your lawn will allow more soil, water and nutrients into the soil, while mulching your leaves and lawn clippings together can help create nutrient-rich compost to feed your living landscape.
