Fall is a great time to take care of your Lawn

Fall is the best time to fertilize and weed your lawn.  Right now weeds are preparing for winter by drawing nutrients from their leaves into their roots.  They also will draw herbicides into their root systems fore effectively killing the weeds.  For the same reason, this is a great time to winterize your grass.  If you plan on seeding or sodding your lawn, mid to late September is a great time, Cool temperatures make sodding very successful.  Be sure it is done before cold weather sets in. You also want to cut your lawn slightly shorter in the fall, it will help prevent the grass from matting down under leaves and snow.

Leaf Removal

Did you know that excessive amounts of fallen leaves around beds, trees and driveways can lead to infestations of insects and rodents? Leaf-borne mold and fungal disease, poor soil aeration, and many other issues can occur if your landscaping isn’t cleaned up for the winter?  Wet leaves can also stain your shoes, patio, and deck with their fall colors. If leaves are not removed from your lawn, they can actually smother the lawn by blocking out the sunlight.

Pruning

Caring for your trees, shrubs, and flowers is an important part of keeping your yard picture perfect. Pruning your trees and shrubs before winter will give the wounds a chance to heal before they start to grow in the spring. Pruning your plants and trees will allow new growth to bloom in the spring.  Our professional landscapers will prune your plants to help minimize the chance of falling limbs that could be brought down by the winter storms.
