Fall is the perfect season to refresh and transform your yard. Cooler temperatures, crisp air, and changing foliage make it an ideal time to tackle landscaping projects that prepare your property for winter while enhancing its beauty. At SAB Lawn & Landscaping, we specialize in creating outdoor spaces that look great year-round. Here are some fall landscaping projects to consider for your home.
1. Add Color with Fall Plants and Shrubs
Autumn is the season of rich colors. Planting seasonal shrubs, ornamental grasses, or late-blooming perennials can brighten your yard and create visual interest. Choosing the right plants now gives them time to establish roots before winter, ensuring they thrive next spring.
2. Mulch Garden Beds and Trees
Mulching in the fall helps protect plant roots from temperature swings, retains moisture, and prevents weeds from taking over. Applying fresh mulch to your garden beds, trees, and shrubs also gives your yard a clean, polished look.
3. Prepare Your Lawn for Winter
Fall is the best time to aerate and overseed your lawn. Aeration relieves soil compaction, while overseeding fills in bare patches, helping your grass grow thick and healthy next spring. Fertilizing your lawn with a fall-specific blend strengthens roots and stores nutrients for winter.
4. Clean Up and Refresh Outdoor Spaces
Remove fallen leaves, branches, and debris to prevent mold and pests from damaging your yard. Using SAB’s dumpster rental or loader services can make large cleanup projects easier and faster. A clean yard also sets the stage for any new landscaping work.
5. Add Outdoor Features for Cozy Spaces
Fall is a great time to install features like garden paths, retaining walls, fire pits, or seating areas. These projects not only improve your yard’s functionality but also make it a welcoming space for family and guests during the cooler months.
6. Protect Your Plants and Trees
Trimming weak or damaged branches and preparing trees for winter ensures they remain healthy and safe. Our tree care and emergency tree services can handle pruning, removal, or any repairs needed to keep your property in top shape.
