It’s fall again—time to think about raking leaves, cleaning up the lawn and battening down the hatches for the inevitable arrival of colder temperatures and potentially harsh weather.

Stand Up Guys Junk Removal has helped many families with this service over the years, and we’re ready to help you too.
Tips for Organizing and Decluttering Your Yard for Fall
Getting your front and back yards ready for cold weather is a big project. There are multiple small tasks to complete to effectively declutter and clean your yard. To help out, we know that following these tips will help you get organized.
1. Inspect and prepare your garden
Before you proceed to rake over everything, take a good look at your garden. Take note of how well your vegetables, plants, and flowers did over the summer months. This is important because it will allow you to make any needed adjustments for the next planting season. Once you’ve inspected everything, remove weeds and dead foliage. Break up the dirt after the dead foliage is removed—doing so will let in extra oxygen for a better garden next summer.
2. Composting
After you remove the dead foliage from your garden and rake the leaves from your lawn, place them into a basic compost bin or dig a small trough to use a part of your yard for composting. As you know, good healthy compost means good food for your garden next planting season. During the colder months, you’ll turn and water the compost less often, but you’ll have access to lots of dying flora to keep it active, especially when you clean out the gutters.
3. Don’t forget your gutters!
To ensure proper drainage and prevent water from leaking into your home, make sure your gutters are free of leaves, twigs, and other debris, which can clog and prevent your gutters from properly moving water away from your house. Once you have removed any larger twigs, take a hose and remove the remaining debris.
4. Organize your patio
Clean your outdoor furniture and dry it thoroughly before storing in your garage or basement. Consider pressure-washing it or use a simple solution of dish soap and water to wipe it down with a sponge or soft rag. Make sure it’s thoroughly dried before covering to avoid mildew. If some of your older pieces won’t last another summer, or you want to clear the way for a new set, consider furniture patio furniture removal from Stand Up Guys to have a clean, open area to work with.
5. Think about extra storage
Consider investing in a small storage shed for your backyard to avoid extra clutter in your garage or basement—it’s the perfect place to store your lawn mower, garden tools and even your patio furniture. There are many styles and sizes to choose from—everything from hardened, weather-resistant plastic to aluminum. Some are easy to assemble at home, while others may require assistance from a professional. (Ask about assembly assistance if you purchase yours from a home-improvement store or check your options online. Many stores offer assembly for a nominal fee.)
Every yard is different. No matter how large or small, a lot of junk can accumulate over the course of a season, so it’s important to follow a good cleaning schedule to keep yard debris from collecting around your home. We hope you find these tips for getting the outside of your home clean and organized to be helpful.
