🍁 Falling Leaves, Rising Problems — Why Richmond Lawns Need Extra Care 🍁
Hey Hallsley! Fall colors are stunning, but once those leaves hit the ground, they can spell trouble for your lawn. 🌿

Charles Nelson of Stepping Stone Landscaping shares why raking isn’t just about looks — it’s about lawn health and safety!

🍂 Leaves block sunlight and trap moisture, smothering your grass.
💧 Wet leaves create slippery surfaces on decks and driveways.
🧹 Plus, too many leaves around your foundation can attract bugs and hold moisture against your home.

Let the professionals handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy pumpkin spice, fire pits, and cozy weekends 🍂☕. Stepping Stone Landscaping offers fast, efficient cleanups so your yard stays beautiful — without you lifting a rake!

📞 Call (804) 265-4885 or visit steppingstoneva.com to schedule your fall cleanup today.
Because you deserve more time to sip cider and less time chasing leaves. 🍎

Health Matters – Menopause Hormone Therapy

Hot flashes. Night sweats. Mood swings. Bone aches. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone—and there’s help. 💜

Dr. Emily Stone of Virginia Physicians for Women breaks down Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), explaining how it can ease symptoms, support bone health, and even improve sleep and libido. While MHT isn’t right for every woman, studies show that for many under 60 (within 10 years of menopause), the benefits outweigh the risks.
Managing menopause is about quality of life—and every woman deserves to feel strong, balanced, and comfortable in her own skin. 🌸
