As autumn settles over much of the New York area, and cooler weather blows in from the north, you may be taking these precious last few snow-free weekends to get out in the yard, mow the lawn one last time, trim a few shrubs, rake the leaves, prune the trees, and pack all the lawn care equipment away for a long winter nap. So, while you're out there in the yard with the rake, clippers, and pruners, make sure you go around your heat pump and clear away any leaves, weeds, branches, or bramble that may impact its performance over the course of the winter. Believe us. You'll be glad you did!
