Yes it is fast approaching winter and the leafs of Autumn are dropping every day. SO what can you do to make sure that your garden is looking its best if you or your neighbours have trees. Well you could start by cutting back a few branches as now that the birds have flown the nests its a good time to hack away at the foliage as you wont be disturbing much wildlife.
Also, sweeping up can be key, if you sweep up little and often then you should be able to maintain a clear path and driveway as well as communal areas for you to sit and enjoy your garden at this time of the year. You can buy large brooms and brooms for sweeping the grass or leaf blowers are sometimes a good way to clear larger areas, but beware that leaf blowers can weigh alot and so over a long period can be hard to hold.
You should only have to cut the grass one more time now before the winter kicks in and then it should be another six months before you need to get the lawnmower out again.
