Kerry's Tips of the Week

Start Planning Your Fall Garden Makeovers

The steamy days of August encourage kicking back in a beach chair and daydreaming. If a stunning, low-maintenance landscape is one of your dreams, make it a reality this fall!

Fall is an ideal time for planting - the weather is cooler, soil temperatures are still warm, and there is usually more rainfall. Plus, you will be amazed when the garden emerges next spring with well-established roots that generate gorgeous foliage growth and flowers.

Estabrook’s offers professional design services to save you from costly mistakes and haphazard plantings. At the consultation we will assess your current landscape, offer problem-solving solutions and provide design recommendations as well as plant lists.

Below are a few before and after pictures of client’s gardens:
