Soak Up the Last of Summer (While Getting Stuff Done Outside)

August in Michigan is that sweet spot - long sunny evenings, warm breezes, and one last chance to enjoy your yard before cooler weather rolls in. The leaves haven’t started turning yet, but you can feel it coming. Which makes now the perfect time to tackle a few outdoor tasks that’ll set you up for a smoother fall.

Here’s what we’re seeing a lot of people book Gas Money help for right now:

1. Shrub & Hedge Trimming

This is a great time to shape up your shrubs before the growing season slows down. Whether they’re overgrown, blocking windows, or just looking scruffy, a quick trim makes a huge difference in curb appeal - and it’s easier now than when things are wet and cold.

2. Planting & Mulching

You’d be surprised how many people still plant this time of year. Adding late-summer flowers or topping off mulch beds keeps things looking fresh through September. It’s also a great time to fill in empty garden spots so they’re ready to bloom next year.

3. Basic Landscaping Touch-Ups

From weed pulling and edging to moving heavy bags of soil or stone, there’s always something that needs a little touch-up. It might not feel urgent, but once the leaves start falling, it all gets buried under the chaos.

4. Prepping for Fall Cleanups

We’re not quite there yet, but fall cleanups are coming. If you’ve got sticks, debris, or yard waste already piling up, now’s a good time to get ahead of it. And yes, we’ll be handling full-service fall cleanups again soon. Stay tuned.
