Fall Checklist

Prepare Your Landscape for Dormancy

Hello Fall

It's time to welcome the crisp air and golden leaves, which means its time to prepare your landscape for the colder months ahead. This season, our newsletter is packed with tips and services to help you make the most of fall. Let's get started!

Preparing for Winter

Preparing your trees and lawn for Colorado's winter is crucial for maintaining a vibrant and healthy landscape. Keep your trees hydrated until the ground freezes to prevent frost damage, and focus on supplemental watering. Apply mulch to insulate roots and retain soil moisture, and shield sensitive plants with coverings. Fertilize in the fall to replenish nutrients, prune during fall for healthy spring growth and prevent snow damage. Aerate your lawn for better soil structure. Apply herbicides to manage weeds, and clean up diseased debris to prevent pest issues. With these steps, you'll ensure your garden thrives through winter into a lush spring.

Our Anti-Desiccant application offers a solution by forming a protective, waxy coating over leaves, branches, and trunks. This helps plants retain moisture, particularly during harsh conditions like wind, full sun, and fluctuating temperatures. Applying anti-desiccants in November and December ensures your evergreens remain healthy and vibrant through winter, with the coating typically wearing off by spring

Pruning in the fall is great for stimulating new growth in spring and keeping trees healthy through winter, which can even extend their lifespan. For fruit trees, removing dead limbs encourages more fruit production. It's also a great way to prevent disease and reduce the risk of storm damage by clearing away dead branches and decaying wood.

PREPARE YOUR LAWN

Fall care involves preparing your lawn before the cold weather sets in to ensure it thrives in the spring. Key steps include aerating the soil to deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the roots, treating for bank mites that can damage your lawn's moisture level, and cutting the grass shorter to prevent diseases like snow mold. Although overseeding is best done in the spring, you can also try overseeding late in the fall to allow seeds to germinate and grow, then go dormant so by spring your lawn will be fuller. These practices help protect your lawn through winter, setting the stage for a lush, green yard when warm weather returns.
