Raking, Deadwood, and Doughnut Mulch: The Fall Checklist That Sets Atlanta Trees Up for Winter

Post Copy

Your trees have a fall to-do list. Here's the short version.

Rake leaves off the root zone and clear out old, matted mulch. Have dead limbs removed before winter weather does it for you. Water less, and only at the roots.

Then mulch two to four inches deep in a doughnut, never touching the trunk. Full checklist on our blog, link in bio.
