When September rolls around, your petrol hedgetrimmer and lawn scarifier are two very important items to have out and ready to go. Both of these items will prove to be essential as you get your garden ready for the fall months.

Items You Will Need

Rake

Petrol Hedgetrimmer

Lawn Scarifier

Shovel

Clippers

When the summer months end, the cooler air begins to set in and many plants begin to die in the cooler temperature. This isn't a result of the care you are providing. It is just part of the natural cycle. During this time it is essential that you dispose of the weeds and dead plant matter that begin to fill up your garden. Once you have taken your petrol hedgetrimmer over the hedges, take the lawn scarifier and take it across your lawn. This will help to pull up the matter that lies as the base of your lawn.

Once you have taken the time to trim up and pull up the dead grass and moss from the base, take the time to sew more seeds in the lawn. As the spring rolls around the new growth will give you a remarkable looking lawn, and will help to prevent you from having bare patches.

Go through your garden and begin to pull weeds and spray weed killer where they were. During the winter months many types of weeds can continue to grow. By spraying the section with a good weed killer, you are able to end the problem before they begin again.

While you are weeding, make sure you remove dead growth as well. Many plants that die won't come back the following year. Check with the local nursery to see which plants you own will come back in the spring, and which ones will need to be replanted when the time comes.

If you own a greenhouse, this is also the perfect time to start cleaning it up for the winter. Since there won't be much use for it, you might not spend any time in here, and vermin will find it the perfect quiet place to nest. Keep areas neat and in order, when possible, keep pots and other dark surroundings up off the ground to discourage nesting.

When you have this taken care of, you will need to move on to the next important step. Christmas plants should be planted during this time, as they will hit peak bloom right around the Holiday. These will range from a variety of winter flowers that can handle the frigid cold temperatures that occur here in the United Kingdom. During this time you can also plant bulbs for the upcoming spring as well.

Even after you have completed all this, you will need to continue your focus on maintaining your garden as the month progresses. As the leaves begin to fall, rake them up and keep your yard clean from their clutter. Your roses will need to be cut back, but don't do that until the blooms have started to wither. This might occur late in the month.

Your yard had the potential for being beautiful all year. Keep an eye on it and take action when you notice something looks a little off. Occasional maintenance is the best solution to avoid a long grueling day of yard work. Just remember to put up your petrol hedgetrimmer and lawn scarifier when you are done.
