AS SUMMER SHIFTS INTO FALL
It’s a good idea to make some minor adjustments to your typical
landscape maintenance protocol. Small changes can make a
huge difference in the over all appearance of your landscaping
as the weather begins to get a little cooler.
FERTILIZE THE LAWN
If you choose to only fertilize once a year, fall is the best time
to do so. e reason is simple: Turf grasses have the ability to
store food during the winter months, which, in turn, helps it to
rebound in spring.
DO A MULCH CHECK
Do a mulch check- Fall is a good time to freshen up your beds
with new mulch to create a clean manicure look to your lawn.
PLANT TREES AND SHRUBS
Fall is a great time for planting many deciduous
and evergreen trees and shrubs.
PRUNE PROPERLY
Pruning of limbs is essential to maintain tree
health, prevent infections by diseases or infestations
by certain insects, improve appearance,
and prevent serious damage to life and
property.
REPAIR SUMMER’S DAMAGE
Replace brown fading plants with vibrant
and colorful annuals. Repair and patch grass
areas that have taken a summer beating.
PAVERS SPARKLE
It’s never a bad time to consider replacing an
old worn out walk way or driveway with new
updated pavers. Check with your local landscape
professional for colors and options.
WEEDS BE GONE
Control weeds with a pre-emergent herbicide
in the early fall.
