![How to prevent damage in the garden](https://blog.lavor.com/hubfs/copertina%20lavori%20autunno%20in%20giardino.jpg)

With the arrival of **autumn**, the face of a **garden** changes: flowers, lush vegetation and a tidy area give way to **foliage, slush and water puddles**. Driveways, yards, gates and walls become **covered with moss** and

**lichen**, becoming **slippery** and **unsafe**. At the same time, frequent rains make it easier for **water to settle inside cracks and gaps**, leading to the **multiplication of mold and moisture.**

In such cases, it is important **not to procrastinate on maintaining your garden**, making it a safe environment and preventing any rain damage that might occur after months of inclement weather. In this article we go over **how to clean and care for your garden even in autumn**, with the right [**outdoor cleaning**](https://lavor.com/en/homeoutdoor/) ** products** and without getting too cold.

## **Garden cleaning as prevention: where to start**

[**Cleaning up the garden in autumn**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/autumn-garden-cleaning-and-maintenance-rely-on-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en) may seem like a tedious and repetitive activity, but it is essential in order to fully enjoy it in the [**spring**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/deep-spring-cleaning-get-a-perfect-garden-with-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en), without finding yourself with nasty surprises! Indeed, during the colder season, **leaf fall and heavy rainfall** can cause **various inconveniences** in outdoor spaces, such as:

- pavements and stairs covered with **wet leaves and slush**;
- water that goes between **cracks and crevices**;
- accumulation of leaves, dirt and soil inside the **downspouts and gutters**;
- **clogging of manholes**, preventing the proper discharge of water.

In all these cases, situations that initially seem minor can **quickly** turn **into serious safety and structural problems:**

- causing **slips** and falls;
- **irreversibly ruining the foundations of courtyards and driveways;**
- **burdening the gutters**, leading to their detachment from the facade of the house;
- **flooding the entire pavement,** exponentially increasing the damage and hazard of the area.

To prevent a week’s worth of rain from turning into a huge economic expense and a real dangerous situation, **it is important to carry out periodic targeted preventive cleaning jobs:**

- **removing leaves, dirt, soil, mold and moss;**

- cleaning manholes before they become clogged;

- emptying gutters and downspouts after every heavy rain;
- identifying, cleaning and sealing cracks already present in driveways.

This will make it possible to **carry out thorough maintenance of outdoor spaces,** avoiding structural damage and large unexpected expenses, while enjoying your outdoor all year round.

## **Why the high pressure cleaner is the ideal ally for your garden safety**

If all these cleaning practices seem tedious, slow, and tiring to you **...... know that this is not necessarily so!** Today, there are some **versatile and high-performance cleaning products** that allow you to speed up the maintenance of your garden while ensuring an excellent result, one of them being the [**high pressure cleaner**](https://lavor.com/en/search/high-pressure-cleaners/).

![Utilizzo francesco spurgatubi](https://blog.lavor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Utilizzo%20francesco%20spurgatubi.jpeg?width=800&height=538&name=Utilizzo%20francesco%20spurgatubi.jpeg)

The [**high pressure cleaner**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/how-to-use-a-high-pressure-household-cleaner?hsLang=en) is an outdoor cleaning tool that uses the power of a pressurized water jet to provide **effective, fast and safe** cleaning with **less water consumption** and **without the need for** harsh **detergents**.

### Using a high pressure cleaner to clean your garden or yard offers several advantages:

- the **high pressure jet** removes moss, mold, smog and debris in a few moments;
- in most cases it **does not require the use of detergents**, ensuring **green cleaning**;
- thanks to the **jet adjustment**, you can adapt it to different surfaces, from stone and concrete to wood and metal;
- combined with the (optional) pipe cleaning hose, you can also use the same product for [**cleaning manholes, gutters and downspouts**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/clean-roofs-and-downpipes-with-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en);
- thanks to the [**many additional compatible accessories**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/all-the-accessories-for-high-pressure-cleaners?hsLang=en), you can use this tool all year round, including for cleaning cars, [**bicycles**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/quickly-clean-your-bike-using-a-high-pressure-cleaner?hsLang=en), [**swimming pool**](https://blog.lavor.com/en/cleaning-the-pool-with-the-high-pressure-cleaner-all-the-advantages?hsLang=en), outdoor furniture and more!

## **How to prevent mold and moss in autumn with a high pressure cleaner**

With rainy and cold weather, one of the most important enemies of gardens and outdoor spaces is **moisture**. Cracks, crevices, pools of water and shaded areas create the **ideal environment for moss and mold growth**, which can cause significant **structural** **damage** to your home and wallet.

**Regular and frequent** use **of the high pressure cleaner** allows **action to be taken before moisture takes root. Here are some practical tips:**

- Remove leaves and organic debris at least once a week;
- Use the **fan nozzle** to treat large areas such as driveways or yards;
- For porous walls and stones, combine a **sandblasting lance** for deeper but gentle action;
- After washing, make sure surfaces are well dried to prevent new proliferation.

## **Which high pressure cleaner to use for the safety of your garden**

If you are **looking for the best high pressure cleaner** for you and your garden, choose a product which is:

- **versatile**, equipped with various included and optional accessories;
- with a **mix of performance** **(pressure, flow rate and power input**) in line with your actual needs.
