Fall Maintenance Tips For Your Landscaping

Now is the ideal time to prep your garden and landscape for the growing season of spring, while keeping it protected from the coldness of winter. The heat is wearing off from summer, and the cool temperatures are coming in quickly. It might be best to make a to-do list of all you are wanting to accomplish this fall because it’s the perfect time to get to work! Today, P.O.P.S. Landscaping will share some fall maintenance tips to get your landscape ready for the upcoming months. 

fall maintenance tips To Consider

Test Your Soil 

Fall is a preferred time for many people to go ahead and check their soil because it gives you ample time to raise your soil pH levels if needed. A general test of soil covers the measurement of pH, neutralizable acidity (NA), phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, organic matter (OM) and cation exchange capacity (CEC).

If your soil’s pH levels need to be lowered, springtime is best for conducting soil tests. There are a few common mistakes when attempting to conduct a soil test. Those errors include not covering the whole area in the sample, getting contaminated soil, or not dividing the area properly. 

How often should you test your soil? It is recommended to test it once every 2-3 years. However, if you live in a high-rainfall area samples should be taken annually. 

Remove The Fallen Leaves

Good fall cleanup will save you a lot of valuable time and money. Whether you have a big yard with tons of leaves that need to be raked and bagged up or a smaller yard with not many leaves, this is an essential step in maintaining your landscape this fall. As you may feel like your yard is losing beauty with the amount of color leaving the trees, you can get the beauty right back. Our landscaping company will get to work on adding amazing curb appeal with our services. Getting rid of the dead leaves is just the start of the process of transforming your landscape this fall! We can help take your yard to the next level. 

Add Beautiful Flowers

Adding potted plants is a great way to invite friends and family into your home. Nothing gives off a more welcoming look than beautiful flowers lining the entrance to your home! A great type of flower for this would be chrysanthemums, also known as “mums.” 

They are one of fall’s quintessential flowers. One reason why they are great to add to your fall landscaping is that they are typically the last plant to bloom. If your mum plants are in the ground, you can easily move them to a pot before the ground freezes too much! Another way to help them survive the cold weather is by adding more mulch around them and burying the dead stems.

Add Mulch

Speaking of adding more mulch, one great fall landscaping tip is adding a fresh layer of mulch. This can add an immaculate look to your yard instantly! If you are looking for a simple project to quickly accomplish, this is the perfect one for your fall landscaping.
