5 Fall Projects You Can Tackle in 15 Minutes or Less
Fall is the perfect time to complete those quick and easy outdoor projects. Whether you're prepping for winter or getting your home Halloween-ready, these tasks will have your space looking great in no time, all while keeping the workload light.
1. Seed the Lawn
Fall is the perfect time to give your lawn a boost for the following spring by overseeding. Using a broadcast spreader, sprinkle a thin layer of grass seed on your existing lawn. The process takes no more than 15 minutes for an average-sized yard and can make a huge difference when the snow melts. Make sure to water your lawn after seeding to ensure the seeds take root before the first frost.

2. Clear the Gutters
While many homeowners save the deep-cleaning session for spring, fall is a great time to quickly clear your gutters of leaves and miscellaneous debris. The RYOBI gutter blower attachment makes it easy to keep those gutters clear. Attach the extender and let the power of airflow do the work. It's a quick and simple way to prevent future headaches from gutter backups.

3. Trim Low-Hanging Branches
Before the winds of winter set in, trim away any low-hanging or weak tree branches that could pose a hazard. The RYOBI 18V ONE+ Cordless Pruner is lightweight yet powerful enough to cut through branches up to 1.25 inches thick with ease. In just a few minutes, you can tidy up your yard and eliminate potential dangers, all without the hassle of cords or gas-powered equipment.

4. Freshen Up Furniture
Summer rain and humidity can sometimes lead to moldy outdoor furniture when fall arrives. Rather than replacing your pieces, a quick cleaning with the Harris vinegar concentrate can help restore the fabric. This powerful, eco-friendly cleaner can be sprayed directly onto moldy surfaces. Let it sit for about 15 minutes then wipe down for a fresh finish - perfect for crisp fall evenings.

5. Set Up your Trick-or-Treat Station
Halloween is right around the corner. Set up your trick-or-treat station by laying down a simple canvas or tarp in front of your porch or driveway. Decorate it with fall-themed items like pumpkins, hay bales, harvest wreaths or lanterns. This creates a fun and inviting space for trick-or-treaters. Add a festive bowl of candy to accent your Halloween props, and you're all set for the spookiest night of the year.
