When autumn hits Pennsylvania, falling leaves and cooler temperatures signal the perfect time to prepare your property for winter. A thorough fall clean-up not only boosts curb appeal but also protects your lawn, gardens, and hardscapes from damage caused by snow and ice. Award Services LLC helps homeowners across the Lehigh Valley, Bucks County, and Montgomery County keep their landscapes healthy and ready for every season.

Why Fall Clean-Up Matters

Skipping fall yard maintenance can lead to dead grass, clogged gutters, pest infestations, and costly repairs. A professional fall clean-up ensures your property is safe, attractive, and protected through the harsh Pennsylvania winter.

The Essential Fall Clean-Up Checklist

1. Leaf Removal & Lawn Care

• Rake or blow fallen leaves to prevent suffocation and mold.
• Mow grass one last time before the first frost.
• Consider overseeding bare spots for a healthy spring lawn.

2. Gutter & Downspout Cleaning

• Clear debris to prevent ice dams and water damage.
• Ensure downspouts direct water away from your foundation.

3. Garden Bed Preparation

• Remove dead annuals and weeds.
• Add mulch to protect perennials and bulbs from frost.
• Plant fall flowers for a pop of seasonal color.

4. Tree & Shrub Care

• Prune weak branches to avoid storm damage.
• Wrap young trees to protect from deer and harsh winds.

5. Hardscape Protection

• Power wash patios, driveways, and walkways.
• Seal cracks to prevent freeze-thaw damage.
• Store outdoor furniture to avoid winter wear.

6. Irrigation System Winterization

• Drain sprinkler lines to prevent freezing.
• Shut off outdoor water sources to avoid burst pipes.

7. Final Lawn Treatments
