Fall Tips for Landscaping in Palm Springs

/in /by

The fall season is one of those times when the world is in such bright colors that even blown leaves are seen as a wonderful addition to your already leaf-covered lawn. But with all the work that comes with lawn maintenance and clearing, you may unintentionally forget that you need to do more to ensure your garden stays healthy next spring. This is where extensive landscaping in Palm Springs come into play.

 

Landscaping tips for the fall season

  • Don’t wait until the next season to start pulling weeds. The earlier you start, the less weeds you’ll have to deal with come spring.
  • Remove leaves before they pile up and cause damage to the turf. Dead grass, and other organic debris release soluble forms of nitrates and phosphate, which can end up in surface water. When this happens water quality may be compromised.
  • Give your garden the TLC it needs. Landscaping in Palm Springs during the fall is the perfect time to fertilize the grass, and plant seeds on bare and dead spots. Grass is best fertilized when the season is cooler, and seeds have more time to grow before the warmer season sets in.
  • Prevent winter lawn disease. All throughout the fall season, you must keep the grass’ height of 2 to 2 1/2 inches. If it grows any longer than this, it will mat and could result in snow mold and other winter lawn diseases. If you cut it too short, however, it will be unable to store food for growth during the spring, making it easier for weeds to overpower them.
  • Water trees and shrubs thoroughly and deeply to keep them hydrated. Make sure you do this just before turning the outside water off and after the trees’ leaves drop.

If you have perennials in your garden, it is also highly recommended that you cut them back close to the ground. And just before the winter starts to freeze pipes, make sure you shut off your lawn’s automatic irrigation system. The last thing you want is for pipes to burst due to frozen water within.
