(NAPSI)—Don’t put away your lawn equipment just yet. Fall isn’t just about admiring the colors and taking care of the leaves; it’s also a critical time for yard care. The TurfMutt Foundation, which advocates for the care and use of yards, parks, schoolyards and other green spaces, urges homeowners to get outside and start preparing their yards for the seasons ahead.
