There’s a famous saying: “To everything there is a season.”
And that’s even true of the seasons themselves!
As each season arrives, new measures are necessary to help your property thrive with the changing weather. Preparedness helps ease with the transition from season to season.
With summertime over and fall settling in, it’s important to help your property transition into the new season and thrive.
How Does Fall Impact My Landscape?
Summer sunshine and warm weather can benefit a landscape, but so can fall.
Autumnal benefits to a property include:
Thriving Plants: For many plants, cooler temperatures and rainy forecasts mean less supervision necessary to help plants thrive. Nature does it for you.
Great Weather for Change: Fall is a great time to make changes to your property. If you’re introducing new plants to the property, fall weather and earlier sunsets can help your current plant life adjust more easily than it might during harsher weather, like a sweltering summer or frigid winter.
What Transitional Measures Should I Take?
Introducing changes to your property should be timed with the right season in order to help your property transition smoothly from summer to fall.
Some ideal transitional measures include:
Reseeding: Fall is a great time for reseeding. The cooler temperatures will help the seeds thrive. Consider removing weeds in the fall, too, to help fall growth thrive without the pesky influence of weeds.
Trimming and Pruning: These are best done in the fall. Trimming will help avoid overgrowth, which depletes plant energy and can weaken it during the winter. Pruning helps determine which tree branches are strong and healthy for impending snowfall during the winter.
What Should I Look Out For?
While fall is a great time for curb appeal — since the multitude of fall colors looks great on any landscape — there are also seasonal concerns to keep an eye on, along with ways to prevent them:
Fall Critters: Pests and critters love nesting in fall leaves. By properly removing leaves from your landscape, you can prevent an opportunity for infestation.
Tree Disease: Cooler weather can leave trees more vulnerable to disease. Proper tree inspection and pruning can help ensure that the strongest parts of a tree remain intact and prepared for winter weather.
