Fall is Here !!
Now that Fall has arrived its time to start thinknig about the lawn and plants you have on the property. The weather has been pretty harsh this year. The lawns should be be Core Aerated and Over Seeded around the time of your last mow. Your asking why the last mow, well if you aerate to soon you will plug up the hole when mowing then you just wasted your money and time with aeration. You want the holes open over Winter so water and air can get to the root system of the lawn. You also want to install a good fertilizer for Winter so the roots system is ready for Spring 2026. Clients that have mulched their mowing all year should dethatch their lawn with a dethatcher to remove any unwanted dead grass laying down by the crown of the lawn blades. You should only dethath if you have more than a 1/2 inch of thatch in the lawn. Leaves should also be cleaned up. Letting leaves lay piled in a lawn can cause the lawn to die and costly reseeding will be needed.
Plants and Beds,
You should clean the planting beds of all debris in the Fall after the leaves have fallen. Mulching in the Fall is also a good idea this helps protect the plant material from wind, snow and cold temps. Pruning should also be completed before the snow and ice comes. Snow and ice can be very damaging to plant material. The snow and ice can break vital parts of the plant and tree causing unrepairable damage. Remember tree pruning can be very dangerous and should be done by a Licensed Professional.
PLANTS,
Plants are like humans they get hot and thirsty. In weather like this I recommend you water daily or at least three times weekly to help your plant out. New plant material will need water daily or they will die from heat scorch and root burn. The best way for trees and plants are watering bags. If you can’t afford the bags take 5 gal buckets and drill very small holes in the bottom and fill them and set them at the plant rotating the bucket so all sides get water equally. This will help the plant alot and make them much heathier in the long run. Not sure what to do please feel free to contact our trained staff and they will help you get through the heat related questions. STAY COOL!!
