Though temperatures begin to cool in fall, it is still a busy season for landscape companies. In the fall, we focus on keeping properties clean of leaves and other debris as well as putting landscapes ‘to bed.’
During fall we shut down and winterize irrigation systems to get ready for freezing temperatures. We do our last round of mowing, including applying a slow-release fertilizer for the winter months.
As we prepare landscapes for the dormant season, we keep an eye on plants in poor health and make notes of issues we faced during the growing season. This prepares us from spring when we begin maintenance again.
