As we know, the colder weather is not far away. Plan ahead, so your property will be ready for the upcoming months. Early fall brings cooler temperatures and warm soil, which are the ideal conditions for planting and lawn care. Take a look at our tips to refresh any landscape. We also share ideas to keep your property looking amazing with fast growing vegetables and flowers. Turn outdoor spaces into an extension of your home with help from our team of professionals.

Lastly, let us update container plantings that have reached their peak.

What to Plant Now 

Flower beds extend the growing season and bring vibrant color to your property. After so many pink and purple flowers in spring and summer, switch to bright yellow, bronze and orange. Once planted, they need to be heavily watered while the weather is still hot.

Mums are always a favorite and look great anywhere from front doors to porches, and window boxes.

Pot Marigolds have nothing to do with the popular marigold. They’re perfect for a traditional or non-traditional fall color.

Zinnias love warm, dry weather and they can handle poor soil.

This is the Time to Aerate and Seed Your Lawn 

For a fuller, healthier lawn, aerate and seed in late summer or early fall. Aeration loosens tight soil for better airflow and watering. Then seeding increases soil health, which allows the ground to retain water and absorb nutrients. This helps grass resist weeds, pests, and drought. Contact us today about a property visit.
