Autumn

Autumn is here and while the season brings cosy nights and colourful leaves it also signals the time your garden needs some final TLC before the winter sets in. A little preparation now will ensure your lawn and plants survive the cold months ahead and return healthier in spring.

At World of Power, we’ve rounded up essential autumn garden care tips, plus our top Husqvarna tool recommendations to make the job easier.

Step 1: Clear Fallen Leaves

One of the first jobs on the autumn checklist is tackling fallen leaves. Left alone, they create a soggy blanket that blocks air, water, and sunlight from reaching your lawn which can lead to patchy grass in spring. Regularly clearing leaves allows your lawn to breathe and keeps it looking fresh. Ideally this should be done regularly, as it will prevent the leaves from forming a layer that blocks all the goodness

That’s right, chainsaw season is almost here, and you know what other C-word is also around the corner… CHRISTMASSS! Which is a perfect opportunity to justify your need for a new chainsaw and make logging a breeze this winter.

And we certainly have plenty of options for you to choose from.

If this is your first chainsaw purchase and you need some expert advice, then look no further as at World of Power we are here to guide you and help you find the right machine for your needs.

It’s official, Autumn is here. This is the perfect season for wrapping up warm for a chilly walk or a cosy evening in front of a roaring fire. It is the ideal time to give your garden a good tidy before the cold weather sets in, and one of the biggest tasks can be clearing all those fallen leaves.

Those pesky Autumn leaves fall in vast quantities during October and November, quickly covering lawns, borders and driveways. If left in place they can cause slippery pathways and soggy unattractive looking leaf piles all over your lawn which have the potential to kill any plants that die down for the winter, whose roots remain alive, ready to send up new

If you don't like sappy puns, you better leaf right now!

Brace yourself…crunchy leaf piles are coming and every day they will be rustling. Autumn is officially here on the 22nd September!

OK, I will stop now with the awful puns... who am I kidding there will definitely be a few more during this ‘How to prepare your garden for the upcoming season’ blog.

Summer is gradually disappearing, and the nights are slowly drawing in, the trees are starting to turn and will soon be covered in bright multi-coloured leaves and gently FALL-ing to the ground. Autumn is soon to be upon us, and September is the perfect time to time to start preparing your garden for the upcoming colder months.

Pruning season is usually the first stage in preparing your garden

There are two different dates which mark the end of summer and the beginning of autumn – astronomical or meteorological autumn. For some, today marks the day where fall begins meaning the days will be cooler and the nights will be darker as winter draws ever closer.

When it comes to autumn, there is a buzz around the vibrant colours of the leaves changing as they slowly begin to change before falling to the ground.  Now whilst this is a beautiful sight, clearing lawns, pathways and driveways can be a backbreaking and time consuming task which quite frankly no one enjoys.

When it comes to clearing up around the home and garden, the quickest and easiest option is to use a leaf blower or a leaf blower vacuum which will quickly gather
