Importance of Applying Winterizing Fertilizer to Your Lawn

The winter months are coming, and if you treat your lawn, you know that the cold weather months can be detrimental to the health of your grass. Winterizing fertilizer is an important part of lawn care that prepares your grass to deal with the vicious wind and snow of the winter. This fertilizer is usually applied in the late fall, around October and November to help your grass store more food and stay healthy. This fertilizer is important for your grass in the winter months. However, it is unlike most fertilizers in the sense that it does not promote growth during the fall, but rather creates a more resilient lawn.

Why You Still Need to Water Your Plants in the Fall

If summer is the season for growing, then what exactly should we do with our plants in the autumn season? Well, you may think this is simply the time where plants die off, hopefully, to be reborn next year. A bit of light raking around the garden and your work is done, right? Well, not really. There is a little bit more that goes into it than that, for the truly dedicated landscaper.

Is It Better To Rake The Leaves Or Mulch Them Into Lawn?

Fall is here, and soon all the leaves will be off the trees. Those trees that we love so much in the summer can now seem like a giant pain. Removing the leaves from your yard is a time-consuming process, especially if your yard is dominated by towering shade trees. These days when we are so busy, it can be difficult to find time to rake up all these leaves. Some believe that you must remove leaves to keep your lawn healthy, while others state that all you need to do is pulverize those leaves into nutrient-rich mulch. Here’s some information to help you decide what’s right for you and your lawn. 

Put Your Patio To Use This Fall

A well-designed patio is ideal for use all year long. When the cooler weather comes along, now is the time to think about making small changes. Small changes make it easy for the homeowner to lounge outside in the crisp air with a cup of hot cider as they welcome guests to their home.
