Just because the weather is cooling down, doesn’t mean your landscape doesn’t still need a lot of TLC. Here are some of the things your landscape needs now to be prepared for the winter months:
Aerate: Aerate your soil so that water, oxygen, and fertilizer will more easily reach the roots. Aerating your soil will also help to prevent it from becoming too compacted, especially under a heavy coating of snow and thereby prevent avoidable damage.
Planting: Now is the ideal time to plant cool season grasses. Ideally, you want your grass seeded about 45 days before the first frost. The present conditions are ideal for quick germination. Now is also a wonderful time to start planting shrubs and perennials.
Leaf Removal: Falling leaves might be a beautiful part of autumn, but you don’t want them covering your grass. Dead leaves block the sunlight and prevent your grass from thriving.
Trim: During the late fall months, the grass should be cut shorter than usual to permit more sunlight to reach the grass during the winter months. This will further help protect the grass from damage due to frost or snow.
Tree Fertilization: If you want your trees looking their best come springtime, they need to be fertilized now. This will improve their resistance to insects and diseases through the winter months and beyond.
Sprinklers: Any water left in your sprinkler system is likely to freeze during the winter and can cause the pipes to burst. That’s an expensive problem you don’t want on your hands. Avoid this by having your sprinklers blown out to remove every drop of water.
Perennial Care: Perennials don’t tend to thrive during the winter. Once the first frost hits, they cease looking their best, especially if they fall victim to pests or disease. That’s why now is a good time to cut them back. They’ll grow back healthier come springtime.
