TIPS FOR MAKING FALL BEAUTIFUL Posted on September 19, 2017, News It’s time to transition your yard and flower beds for Fall! Learn some of our tips to keep your property looking great throughout the season. 1) Establish a Raking Routine Keep your yard fresh! For a new raking experience, try out our Dual Tine Leaf Rake! Clog Free Dual Tines! This rake features 2 rows of tines which work together: the second row of tines picks up what the first row left behind. The tines are also designed to be clog free which m akes your raking more efficient. Rake in Tight Spaces This rake also includes a detachable hand rake that reaches underneath shrubs and in-between plants. Some people even use this hand rake as an extra hand to transfer piles of leaves.

Removing a plant can seem like an intimidating task but when you’re using the right tool, you’ll have the confidence you need to do it successfully.
