Landscaping Design Calgary| Scott’s Sod Sales & Installation

The end of the summer season is sadly almost here. It’s almost time to move the patio furniture inside and consider fall maintenance in and around your home. There are many considerations for keeping your home lawn space looking its pristine best during fall, and so within this latest post our experts highlight four tips for seamless Calgary landscaping design this fall season.

1. Water Regularly

Despite the changes in the season, it’s important to water your lawn regularly. The weather might be cool but remain dry through September and October, and so try to water your lawn at least once a week to ensure healthy grass up until the frost hits.

2. Commit to Lawn Fertilization

For those of us living in cooler climates, fall is the ideal time to begin lawn fertilization. Cool season grasses such as bluegrass and ryegrass will respond well to the fertilization process at this time of the year.

3. Remove Weeds

Fall is also the ideal season in which to remove weeds from the garden. Perennial weeds allow herbicides to spread to their roots during periods of the year with moderate temperatures, and so removing weeds using the latest weed killing products can help assure a healthy lawn ready for next year.

4. Introduce New Sod

The cooler fall temperatures represent the best time to introduce new sod to your lawn space. The abundant moisture and cooler temperatures help create the ideal environment for sod growth throughout September and October.
