As summer winds down and the back-to-school season approaches, it’s the perfect time to start preparing your landscape for the upcoming fall months. With the kids heading back to school and cooler weather on the horizon, now is an ideal time to focus on getting your outdoor space ready for the season ahead. Here’s how you can get your yard fall-ready with Tebock’s Landscape.
1. Refresh Your Garden Beds
With summer blooms fading, it’s time to refresh your garden beds with fall-friendly plants. Mums, asters, and ornamental grasses are excellent choices that add vibrant color to your garden as the seasons change. Consider adding these autumn beauties to create a welcoming, seasonal display that enhances your home’s curb appeal.
Tip: Add a fresh layer of mulch to insulate the soil and give your garden beds a polished look.
2. Prune and Trim for a Neat Appearance
As you prepare for the busy back-to-school season, take time to prune and trim your trees and shrubs. Not only does this promote healthy growth, but it also keeps your landscape looking neat and tidy. Removing dead or diseased branches will also help protect your plants during the cooler months.
Tip: Use the trimmed branches to create a compost pile that will nourish your garden next spring.
3. Install a New Patio or Outdoor Living Space
With the kids back in school, you may find yourself with more free time to enjoy your outdoor space. Consider installing a new patio or upgrading your existing one. A well-designed patio provides a perfect spot to relax, entertain, or even set up a cozy outdoor study area for your children. At Tebock’s Landscape, we offer custom patio designs that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.
Tip: Add a fire pit to your patio to extend its usability into the cooler fall evenings.
4. Enhance Your Landscape with Fall Decorations
As fall approaches, start thinking about seasonal decorations to enhance your landscape. Pumpkins, hay bales, and scarecrows can add a festive touch to your yard. Consider incorporating outdoor lighting to highlight your fall décor and create a warm, inviting atmosphere for those crisp autumn nights.
Tip: Use solar-powered lights for an eco-friendly and cost-effective lighting solution.
5. Prepare Your Lawn for Cooler Weather
Late summer is the perfect time to give your lawn some extra attention before the cooler weather sets in. Aerating your lawn allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively. Follow up with overseeding and fertilizing to ensure your grass stays healthy and lush as the temperatures drop.
Tip: Water your lawn in the early morning to prevent evaporation and maximize hydration.
