Helpful Products for Connecticut Fall Cleanup

Fall is finally here! Soon the leaves will be falling and the temperatures will be dropping. Are you prepared for the changing of seasons?

Autumn is arguably the most beautiful season in Connecticut with vibrant foliage as far as the eye can see. But after those leaves change color they soon fall to the ground, littering lawns and making roads slick in the rain.

To deal with the onslaught of leaves you need a few key tools at the ready. Luckily your neighborhood hardware store, Country Paint and Hardware is fully stocked and ready for the season!

Rakes

Every home needs a quality rake on hand to collect and remove leaves of large and small spaces. Do a check of your rake right now. Is it in good shape? Are the prongs bent and out of shape? 

Start the season off with a new rake like the 24-inch Poly Leaf Rake with a fiberglass handle. This rake is sturdy and the perfect size for any job.

Leaf Blowers

If you have a larger space or don’t want to spend all day raking it might be time to invest in a quality leaf blower. You can choose from a number of different models. One of the newer pieces in stock for 2021 is the high-powered Backpack Blower. If that’s a little too much blower for you there is always the smaller Gas Leaf Blower.

Leaf blowers make removing leaves a breeze allowing you to move heaps of leaves without spending the day hunched over.

Biodegradable Leaf Bags

Once you collect your leaves what happens to them? Stop piling them into a heap, only for them to move back to where they started on a windy day. This year consider packing your leaves into paper leaf bags. These bags are durable, sturdy and 100 percent biodegradable, perfect for composting.

If you don’t want disposable bags you can also grab a reusable pop-up refuse bag. These bags sit upright and allow you to fill them with leaves or lawn trimmings. Once you have filled the bag simply pick it up and empty its contents somewhere else before filling it again.
