Goodbye patio, it’s closing time.
As the weather gets cooler, here are some great ideas to prepare your yard and home for winter.
Step 1: Treat your lawn with care
Your lawn will look fabulous in springtime if you reseed now. Start in October by cutting it one last time before winter. Remember to add fertilizer: it will strengthen the roots!
Step 2: Yard and garden
Turn over a new leaf and prepare your yard for the end of summer. Plant bulbs and clear your garden. Protect your house by pruning nearby trees.
Step 3: Cover up for winter
The weather is ideal to take on small maintenance tasks around the house. Store garden equipment and patio furniture to protect them from the elements. Remember to inspect your rooftop and gutters to avoid infiltration.
Step 4: Barbecue all year long!
Just because your neighbours have put away their barbecues doesn’t mean you have to! Now’s the time to stock up on fuel and arrange your space for outdoor cooking in the cold season.
Step 5: Equipped for all seasons
Don’t wait for the first snowstorm to hit. Now’s the time to take stock of your shovels, scrapers and other winter equipment.
