1. Is it better to remove fallen leaves or mulch them into the lawn?

Light layers of leaves can often be mulched with a mower. Thick accumulations should be removed because they can block sunlight & smother grass, particularly before winter.

2. How late in the fall can I schedule a property cleanup?

Cleanup is generally best completed before persistent snow cover. Removing heavy leaf buildup, fallen branches & seasonal debris helps prepare lawns & planting beds for winter.

3. Why does my mulch disappear or become thin throughout the year?

Organic mulch gradually decomposes & can shift during heavy rain or maintenance. Check the existing depth before adding more to avoid excessive buildup around plants.

4. Should shrubs be cut back before winter?

Not all shrubs benefit from fall pruning. Heavy pruning late in the season may encourage tender growth or remove next year's flower buds. The correct timing depends on the plant.

5. Can lawn edging help reduce weeds in landscape beds?

Defined edges can limit grass encroachment, but they won't stop airborne weed seeds from germinating. Combining edging with mulch & periodic weed management provides better results.
