It is fall in Virginia and cool nights are finally upon us! Here are a few useful tips to keep your yard beautiful this fall and prepare for the winter freeze.
Dividing Perennials – It is a great time to divide your spring and summer blooming plants. For all the details on how to divide perennials visit our blog post. And for a fun idea – throw a fall planting party with your friends and trade divided plants. It is a fun and easy way to get new plants for your yard for free.
It is Bulb Planting Time – Get out your spade, it is time to plant your spring bulbs. Tulips, Daffodils, and any bulbs should go in the ground now with a nice coat of mulch on top to keep them warm this winter.
Pruning – Pruning is the question on everyone’s mind. At this point in the fall do some minor pruning, but no major cut back because the new plant growth will freeze over the winter. Wait for major pruning and cut backs until late winter/early spring.
Winterize your Irrigation – In a few weeks it will be time to winterize your irrigation. Have your irrigation lines flushed out to avoid bursting pipes this winter.
Fertilization and Aeration – Time to aerate, fertilize and overseed your lawn for the fall. Learn more about how to take care of your lawn this fall in our blog on Fall Lawn Renovation.
