LEAF RAKING TIPS FOR FALL For many of us, autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year. There’s nothing like the cool refreshing air and breathtaking fall foliage. However, with the changing of the seasons comes a chore that we all dread– raking leaves. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways to make raking the leaves more enjoyable. If you need help with your follow through on this chore, keep reading! 1. If you can, rake downhill Raking leaves is hard enough without having to go against gravity. Make this process a little easier on yourself by raking downhill. 2. Pull the leaves towards you as you rake This technique helps keep stress off your back and prevents injury. For extra preventative measures, tighten your abdominal muscles as you move. 3. Divide your lawn into sections If you’re dealing with a huge lawn, don’t overdo it by trying to tackle all the space in one day. Instead, divide your lawn into smaller, more manageable sections and spread the work out over a couple days. 4. Wait until the leaves stop falling There’s almost no point in cleaning up your lawn while your trees are still full of leaves! To save yourself from unnecessary stress, wait until the trees are bare to get started on this chore.
