As the air starts to cool and the leaves begin to change, it's clear that fall is just around the corner.
Along with the beauty of the season comes the inevitable task of "fall cleanup."
This is the time of year when many of us are busy trimming trees, w**ding garden beds, and storing away patio furniture and other large outdoor items.
Unfortunately, it's also when we see a spike in back and neck injuries.
To help you stay safe and pain-free during this seasonal transition, here are two simple tips to prevent "throwing out your back" during fall cleanup:
1) Protect Your Back While W**ding
When it comes to removing those stubborn w**ds, consider using a stand-up w**d puller.
For just $29.99 on Amazon, this tool can save you from unnecessary bending and straining, making w**d removal easier and safer for your lower back.
Walensee W**d Puller is the tool we recommend.
If you have a larger property with lots of bushes and trees that need trimming before winter, I recommend contacting JDM Landscaping.
They offer professional services to handle those bigger fall clean up jobs.

2) Safely Store Patio Furniture
If you have patio furniture to store away for the fall and winter, consider hiring a company to shrink-wrap it.
I’ve had great success with Guardian Shrink Wrap, a local, veteran-owned business.
They can save you the heavy lifting and the risk of injury.
Sometimes, the cost of shrink-wrapping is far less than the cost of ongoing treatments for back or neck injuries.
