Enhance Your Yard with These Fall Landscaping Tips

Although many homeowners approach autumn as a time for winding down on their yard maintenance, spending some additional time on fall landscaping can drastically enhance virtually any property.

The fall is the best time of year for our yards with mother nature doing her part in providing some truly breathtaking environmental aesthetics. A home simply just looks more attractive during the fall season.

Our team from Blaum Landscaping is breaking down some information on our five favorite fall landscaping tips to help your yard welcome friends, family, and guests alike this autumn!

Groom Your Fall Lawn

Before the lawn gets covered with falling leaves for a few weeks, it’s time to spruce it up a bit. This is a great time to rake and remove leaves, as well as any other additional debris. You can also toss some grass seed on any bare spots you may discover during your maintenance. 

Install New Shrubbery

Now that you’ve got your lawn looking its best, you can spice things up with new planting, in addition to a splash of color against the autumn aesthetic. Summer plants will begin to fade, opening the opportunity for replacement with vibrant flowers, shrubs, or trees.

Autumn represents the absolute best time to plant new shrubs and trees. The soil will remain warm enough to promote significant root development while the weather stays cool. These colder temperatures will make the fall landscaping tips enjoyable while you work.

Attract Attention to the Home

Directing visitor attention to the front door of a beautiful fall home should almost represent an American pastime. By highlighting your home’s exterior, you can cultivate a truly inviting appearance with something as simple as a fall wreath full of seasonal foliage and flowers.

Keep the Grass Short

Nothing looks worst for onlookers, visitors, family, friends, and passersby than an unkempt bit of grass. As long as the lawn keeps growing, mowing into the fall remains necessary to ensure a healthy and good-looking piece of land.

Although Florida doesn’t experience such prolonged or drastic temperature changes as areas in the North, it can still drop low enough to affect its comprehensive health. Keeping grass healthy and strong is the best way to ensure that the grass remains healthy from fall through winter while also looking great as well.

Adorn Some Outdoor Lighting

With fall coming around once again, this is a time where we receive shorter days due to daylight savings time. During this time, it would seem increasingly essential to provide visitors with safe, well-lit pathways. Installing decorative light fixtures or lanterns can brighten entrance areas and enhance safety for any visitors that may attend the property.

Sometimes the Most Simply Decorations are the Best Decorations

Subtle fall décor can help your home look warm, homey, and inviting. This entry on our fall landscaping tips can help not only your yard but also your home appear transformed and fresh. Nonetheless, proceed with caution as doing too much may distract visitors from how great your property actually looks.
