FALL

HOW TO USE THE SEASONS  TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

OPTIMAL PLANTING TIME

Fall's cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create ideal conditions for planting. Trees, shrubs, and perennials establish roots better during this season, leading to stronger growth in the spring.

Soil Enrichment 

2

Fall is the perfect time to enrich your soil by adding organic matter like compost or mulch. This helps retain moisture, reduces weed growth, and provides essential nutrients for plants during winter dormancy. 

Strategic pruning 

3

Pruning during the fall removes dead or damaged branches, promotes healthier growth,  and shapes plants for the next growing season. It also helps prevent disease and pest infestations over the winter.  

Seasonal lawn care 

4

Aerating, fertilizing, and overseeding your lawn in the fall strengthens grass roots, filling in bare spots and preparing your lawn to withstand the colder months. This leads to a lusher, greener lawn in the spring. 

hardscaping enhancements

5

Use the fall season to focus on hardscaping projects like installing patios, walkways,  or garden beds. Cooler weather makes these labor-intensive tasks more manageable, and the results will be ready to enjoy in the spring.
