September
As summer winds down and cooler weather moves in, your yard needs a different kind of attention. This is the month to get ahead of fall weeds, restore beds before winter, and knock out projects that are easier to tackle before the holidays hit. Here's what we recommend focusing on this month.
This Month's Focus
Gutter Guards
What:
Installing covers over gutters to keep debris out.
Why:
With leaves falling coming in October and November, gutter guards prevent clogs and over flow without the need for repeat cleanings.
Permanent Lights
What:
Installing year-round outdoor lighting along the roofline or landscape.
Why:
Getting lights installed before the holidays mean your home is ready for the season without a last-minute scramble
Aeration
What:
Perforating the lawn to relieve soil compaction and improve airflow to the roots.
Why:
Fall aeration helps grass recover from summer stress and stregthens the root system heading into colder months.
Flowerbed Restoration
What:
Renewing flowerbeds with fresh edging, mulch, weed removal, and trimming back bushes.
Why:
Restoring beds and shaping growth before winter keeps everything from looking neglected during the colder months and sets your landscaping up to thrive again in the spring.
