How to Prepare Your Garden for Autumn 🍁

One of the most iconic signs of autumn is the blanket of fallen leaves. A leaf blower is the perfect companion for your autumn garden tidy-up, combining speed, efficiency, and versatility to help you keep your outdoor space looking its best. With its powerful airflow, you can quickly gather leaves into neat piles for easy disposal or composting helping to avoid blocked drains and slippery paths during the winter.

Prune

Begin by removing dead or faded flowers and stems from your summer blooms. While this helps to keep things tidy, it also prevents diseases from developing over winter. Use a hedge trimmer to trim back hedges, bushes and perennial plants that have finished flowering for a tidy appearance and to promote healthy growth ready for spring.

Plant autumn blooms

Autumn doesn’t mean the end of vibrant colours in your garden. Certain flowers and plants thrive in the cooler months and can add a splash of late season charm. Consider planting evergreens like holly, yew, or boxwood which will add structure and greenery to your garden when the deciduous plants lose their leaves. Opt for chrysanthemums, asters and pansies for a pop of autumnal colour. These plants can withstand the cooler temperatures and will brighten your garden into the early winter.
