Infographic: Fall Family Yard To-Dos

When the vibrant colors of autumn arrive, it's the perfect time to ensure your family yard is ready to flourish in the seasons ahead. The work you put in this fall will guarantee beautiful, thriving outdoor areas to enjoy next spring and summer.

According to research conducted for the TurfMutt Foundation by The Harris Poll, more than three-quarters of Americans who have a yard (76%) say the family yard space is one of the most important parts of their home. Additional Harris Poll research shows a vast majority of Americans (89 percent) feel communities should prioritize providing these spaces for community health and well-being. This commitment to outdoor vitality aligns perfectly with creating thriving neighborhoods.
