Fall Lawn Care
Dec 10th 2019
Summer has come and gone, and with it so have the warm, rainy days that the season brings. While it may feel like it’s possible to take a breather and neglect lawn care for the rest of the year, there are actually quite a few things homeowners can do now to keep their yard looking great during the fall, winter, and into the upcoming spring. Don’t wait until the temperatures drop — contact Gainesville landscapers today to schedule fall lawn care.
Benefits Of Seasonal Lawn Care
Whether this is your first time utilizing our fall yard cleanup services or you’ve personally experienced the benefits of our lawn care services, lawn care performed in autumn can drastically improve the health of a lawn and keep plants looking colorful into the next year. First impressions are everything and having a lifeless lawn full of decaying vegetation not only upsets neighbors, but it can hurt a home’s resale value. By keeping vegetation healthy around the home now, you’re saving yourself the trouble of replanting later.
Fall Clean Up Tips
To keep a lawn in tip-top shape throughout the fall, our landscapers at Evergreen Lawn Care recommend the following tips:
Check The Irrigation System
It’s likely that your home’s irrigation system has been working flawlessly throughout the year, providing the vegetation around your home with its daily water needs. Now that most of the plants have gone dormant for the year and require less water to maintain their health, fall is the perfect time to have the irrigation system inspected and improved before next year’s seasonal plants begin growing. Our irrigation services include the calibration of systems to ensure no unnecessary areas, such as the street or side of the house, are being watered, and can even include the addition of rain sensors so the sprinklers don’t click on when the plants have already received enough water.
Plant Seasonal Vegetation
Depending on the time of the year, flowers, trees, and shrubs either continue growing or go dormant until the following season. For homeowners who love a bit of color in their yard throughout the entire year, seasonal planting can keep that bit of pink, white, yellow, and other vibrant colors year-round. Before plants go dormant in the fall and winter, proper preparations can be made to ensure these plants are either removed or protected. If left unattended, these plants can wither away, leaving a yard looking dreary and dull.
Leaf & Debris Removal
Trees shedding their leaves is a common sight, even in the warmer, southern states. While leaves may be a delight for young children who love to play in the accumulated piles, fallen leaves and other debris can pose a risk to the health of the grass and vegetation found in a yard. Decaying leaves are the perfect breeding ground for fungi, such as mold, and prevent plants from receiving the proper nutrients they need, while fallen debris make for the perfect breeding ground for pests such as termites or other insects. Leaf removal services and debris removal services can get rid of fallen materials that have accumulated on the property.
Shrub & Tree Pruning
As trees and shrubs grow, they often expand onto walkways and are found precariously close to overhead power lines. Thankfully, autumn is a great time for pruning. Not only does tree pruning improve the appearance and overall health of the tree, but it also removes branches that may pose a hazard if they were to fall. At Evergreen Lawn Care, we only trim plants in a manner that promotes healthy growth and keeps the vegetation safe and ready to grow in the spring.
