A beautiful yard doesn't stay that way on its own, especially during summer. One heavy rainstorm, a few windy days, or regular watering can send mulch spilling into the lawn, across walkways, or out of carefully arranged flower beds. Before long, what started as a fresh-looking landscape can begin to look messy, leaving homeowners with another weekend cleanup project.
The good news? Getting your yard ready for fall doesn't have to mean replacing mulch or starting a major landscaping makeover. Sometimes, a simple maintenance upgrade is all it takes to help keep everything where it belongs.
