Fall Landscaping Tips to Protect Your Curb Appeal

Fall is a transition season—not just for wardrobes but for your yard. Proper landscaping now ensures your outdoor spaces survive the winter and look beautiful in the spring. Neglecting your yard can lead to dead patches, damaged trees, and costly repairs come thaw time.
Tips for a healthy fall yard:
  • Aerate & Fertilize the Lawn: Aeration reduces soil compaction and allows nutrients to reach the roots. Fertilizer helps grass store energy for winter survival.
  • Plant Fall Color: Mums, pansies, and ornamental kale bring brightness when most flowers fade.
  • Leaf Management: Rake leaves often. A thick blanket suffocates grass and creates mold issues.
  • Tree & Shrub Care: Trim back overgrown branches, especially those near your roof or power lines.
  • Mulch Beds: A fresh layer protects perennials and insulates roots against frost.
Pro Tip: Snap a few “before and after” photos of your yard. Not only do they showcase your curb appeal if you plan to sell, but they’re also great for social media or personal pride.
