As the leaves crunch beneath your feet and the air turns crisp, it’s time to give your landscape some extra love this autumn season. Here in Utah, the changing colors of fall create a stunning backdrop for your outdoor oasis, but it’s important to keep up with proper maintenance to ensure your landscape remains vibrant and healthy. At Creative Landscaping and Design, we understand the unique needs of Utah landscapes, and we’re here to help you with some autumn maintenance tips to keep your outdoor space looking its best.
Before the harsh Utah winter sets in, it’s essential to prepare your plants for the colder months ahead. Begin by trimming back any dead or overgrown branches to promote healthy growth next spring. Consider adding a layer of mulch around the base of your plants to protect their roots from freezing temperatures. This will also help retain moisture and keep your plants healthy throughout the winter.
Fallen leaves and debris can quickly accumulate in your landscape, so it’s important to regularly clean up and remove any clutter. Not only does this help to maintain the appearance of your outdoor space, but it also prevents potential rot and disease from affecting your plants. Consider using a leaf blower or rake to clear away leaves, branches, and other debris to keep your landscape tidy and healthy.
Autumn is an ideal time to give your lawn an extra boost of nutrients to help it survive the upcoming winter months. Consider giving your grass a good fertilization treatment to promote root growth and overall health. Be sure to choose a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer that is specifically formulated for fall application to ensure optimal results. Your lawn will thank you come springtime!
Utah winters can be harsh on your outdoor hardscape elements, such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Before the snow starts to fall, be sure to clean and seal these surfaces to protect them from damage. Use a pressure washer to clean away dirt and grime, then apply a high-quality sealant to help prevent water penetration and freeze-thaw damage. This will not only prolong the life of your hardscape but also maintain its beauty for years to come.
While many plants may be entering dormancy in the fall, there are still plenty of options for adding seasonal interest to your landscape. Consider adding fall-blooming flowers, such as mums, asters, and ornamental kale, to bring a pop of color to your outdoor space. You can also plant fall vegetables like kale, lettuce, and carrots to enjoy a bountiful harvest well into the autumn months.
