AS THE warm weather comes to an end and temperatures begin to cool it’s clear that autumn is well and truly settling in.

The arrival of autumn brings with it Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night, so while we may spend more time indoors, this is no time of year to forget about your outdoor space.

In fact, autumn is the perfect time to clean down your garden ready for the winter months and ensure it is ready for the arrival of spring.

With some top tips from the UK’s leading outdoor cleaning specialists, Jeyes, you can get started to be sure your garden is looking its best.

Clear and clean your lawn.

Autumn equals fallen leaves and of course marks the start of the colder days and nights.

This can impact your lawn, so be sure to clear and collect those fallen leaves to allow maximum light and air to your lawn.

Plant, plant plant!

Shrubs planted at this time of year will have lots of time to settle in before the spring and the temperature during autumn means shrubs and trees can be moved with less danger of damaging them.

Path, patio and paving.

Be sure to tackle any dirt, algae or mildew on all outdoor hard surfaces before winter as this is when they become more difficult to remove.

Greenhouse grub.

Get your greenhouse clean and sparkling to prevent any pests using it as their home this winter.
