Preparing Your Property for Fall in Upstate New York

Rochester's fall season is beautiful but short. Before you know it, the leaves are down and the first frost is here. Taking the right steps now can save you headaches in the spring and keep your property looking great year-round.

Leaf removal Don't let fallen leaves sit on your lawn all winter. A thick layer of leaves can smother grass, promote fungal growth, and attract pests. Regular removal throughout the season is key.

Final mowing Gradually lower your mowing height for the last few cuts of the season. Grass that's too tall going into winter can mat down and develop snow mold.

Garden bed cleanup Cut back perennials, remove annuals, and clear any dead plant material from your beds. This reduces the chance of disease carrying over to next year.

Trim and prune Fall is a good time to trim back overgrown shrubs and remove any dead branches before heavy snow can cause damage.

Protect vulnerable plants Young trees and tender shrubs benefit from burlap wrapping or protective barriers, especially in exposed locations.

Debris removal Clear your property of any loose items, fallen branches, or materials that could become hazards during winter storms.
