Top 5 Tips for Keeping Your Garden Healthy This Autumn
Autumn is one of the most important times of year for garden care. Preparing your outdoor space now ensures that your lawn, trees, and plants stay strong through the cold months and flourish in spring. Here are Jamie’s top tips for keeping your garden healthy this autumn.
1. Clear Fallen Leaves Regularly
Wet leaves left on the lawn block light, trap moisture, and create the perfect conditions for moss and disease. Raking or blowing leaves away once a week keeps grass healthy and prevents slip hazards.
2. Feed and Reseed the Lawn
Before the frost arrives, apply an autumn lawn feed to strengthen roots. This will help your grass recover quickly in spring. If you have bare patches, reseeding now gives the seeds time to establish.
3. Prune Trees and Shrubs
Careful pruning encourages healthier growth. Removing weak or crossing branches reduces the risk of storm damage and keeps your garden safe.
4. Mulch and Protect Borders
Add mulch around plants and shrubs to insulate roots and lock in moisture. It’s a simple step that prevents frost damage and weeds.
5. Book a Seasonal Tidy-Up
Autumn is the ideal time to prepare for the year ahead. A professional tidy-up ensures your garden is clean, safe, and ready to thrive when spring arrives.
