Why Fall Stormwater Prep Should Start in September

Fall prep doesn’t start in October.

It starts now. There’s still time to clear structures, manage vegetation, and get ahead of leaf drop before it accelerates.

A little now saves a lot of catch-up later.

Across Durham and Chapel Hill, mid-September is the ideal window to begin fall preparation before leaf drop and cooler weather fully arrive. Starting early spreads the work out and avoids a last-minute rush.
