Protect Your Landscape Investment: Fall Maintenance Checklist
Fall is your landscape’s reset button—the perfect time to prepare lawns, gardens, and hardscapes for the cold months ahead. A little maintenance now can save you a lot of repair later.
Step 1: Clean Up and Clear Out
Remove fallen leaves, debris, and dying annuals to prevent mold and disease from spreading through your yard.
Step 2: Feed and Strengthen Your Lawn
Apply a slow-release fertilizer to help roots grow deep before winter. Aerate compacted soil to allow water and nutrients to reach where they’re needed most.
Step 3: Protect Plants and Beds
Mulch around trees and shrubs to insulate roots. Wrap delicate plants if you’re expecting heavy frost.
Step 4: Inspect Hardscapes and Drainage
Check patios, walkways, and retaining walls for cracks or shifts caused by summer heat. Address drainage issues now to avoid icy hazards later.
