Don’t forget about your leaves this month!

You've aerated and overseeded your yard this fall in preparation for a beautiful spring, but don't stop there. Trees are shedding their leaves and those leaves are covering your new tender grass. Quick, grab your . . . blower.

Instead of raking this year, we strongly suggest that you use a blower to remove the leaves. Using a rake will disturb the seedlings and can do more damage than good. A blower will remove the leaves without disturbing the soil. Need help? Be sure to check out the preferred vendors on our website.
