When it comes to prepping a home and lawn for the transition through the seasons, many homeowners have some very specific questions.

FOX 47 and Menards are teaming up to bring homeowners the answers to their biggest questions each season of the year.

As September approaches and we begin the transition into the autumn months, there are many areas of home improvement and preparation that can help make that transition as smooth as possible.

We visited the Lansing West location and spoke with Andrew Ward, who walked us through some of the most important things to consider when it comes to homeowners prepping their home for the fall.

Do you find that heat escapes from your home in the cooler months, leading to higher utility bills? You'll want to consider sealing your windows and doors to keep that heat in.

Are you noticing that critters are making your lawn look like the golf course in Caddyshack, and you're worried that those furry friends might want to make your home their own as it gets colder? There are several tricks for learning how to keep the critters out of and away from your property.

Is your two-car garage having trouble fitting your bicycles, let alone your vehicles? You aren't alone - and now's a great time to organize the clutter before the cool weather hits.

Tips on these topics and more, in our Fall Home Tips special with Andrew Ward of Menards.
