Fall Clean Up

Fall clean-up is crucial for maintaining a healthy yard throughout the winter months, as it helps prevent the buildup of debris that can harbor pests and diseases. Clearing away fallen leaves, branches, and other organic matter not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your landscape but also promotes better air circulation and sunlight penetration for your grass and plants. 

Taylor’s Do it Center offers a variety of STIHL products that are perfect for tackling fall tasks. Here are some top tips for cleaning up your yard this season with STIHL equipment.

Falling leaves may be beautiful, but leaving them on your lawn can cause damage. A powerful leaf blower like the STIHL BGA 57 Battery-Powered Blower is ideal for clearing leaves quickly and efficiently. Its cordless, battery-powered design makes it easy to maneuver, and it's perfect for small to medium yards. 

If you have a larger property, consider the STIHL BR 600 Backpack Blower. This gas-powered tool offers professional-grade blowing power, making quick work of clearing large areas. Failing to blow leaves in the fall can cause a buildup of debris, which can harbor pests and diseases. Improve the health of your lawn by investing in a high quality STIHL leaf blower today. 

Fall is the perfect time to trim and prune overgrown trees and shrubs to prepare them for winter storms. If you don't take the time to prune now, you risk promoting poor growth, increased susceptibility to pests and diseases, and potential damage to your plants during harsh winter conditions. 

The STIHL HT 56 C-E Pole Pruner allows you to safely reach high branches without the need for a ladder. This tool makes it easy to keep your trees trimmed and prevent potential damage from falling limbs in harsh winter weather. For shaping hedges and shrubs, the STIHL HS 45 Hedge Trimmer offers a lightweight, cordless design that provides precise, clean cuts with minimal effort. 

Instead of bagging up fallen leaves, why not turn them into nutrient-rich mulch? The STIHL SH 86 C-E Shredder Vac/Blower is a versatile tool that lets you vacuum up leaves and mulch them at the same time. This mulching process helps enrich your soil, providing essential nutrients that support plant health. Additionally, it protects your plants during the winter, all while saving you valuable time and effort in your fall clean-up routine.

A well-defined edge around flower beds, driveways, and sidewalks can give your yard a polished look, even in the fall. Creating these clean lines enhances the overall appearance of your landscape and adds structure to your outdoor space. 

The STIHL FC 56 C-E Edger makes this task simple and efficient, ensuring sharp, clean edges that last. Its gas-powered design provides reliable performance, allowing you to tackle edging tasks with ease. With this tool, you can achieve a professional finish that will make your yard stand out in any season.

If you’re planning to cozy up by the fire this winter, cutting and stacking firewood in the fall is a must. The STIHL MS 271 Farm Boss Chainsaw is perfect for homeowners who need to cut firewood. Its powerful engine and ergonomic design make it easy to handle, even during longer jobs. Pair it with a STIHL Woodcutter Axe for splitting logs, and you’ll be set for the season. 

A chainsaw is also beneficial for clearing your yard as it allows you to easily remove larger branches and fallen trees, ensuring a safer and more open outdoor space this winter.
