Here are Some Fall Landscaping Tips

Our team will make sure that all the plantings in your landscape are cared for and that the different gardening tasks are completed before winter sets in. Here are some tips from our Calgary landscaping experts:

Fall is the perfect time to plant shrubs and trees, remove annuals as well as cut back perennials.
It also an excellent time to get your lawns ready for next spring.
It’s important to keep watering your plants and grass with regularity. The shrubs and trees that have been deprived of water can become easily stressed during the cold winter months. Continue watering trees and shrubs until the ground freezes
Transplant young trees/shrubs to new locations.
Rake and compost all the fallen leaves.
Cut diseased sections out of perennials. Don’t compost these.
Clean up all the debris. Remove all fallen fruit and vegetable plants.
Remove all dead annuals from the garden, after each frost.
Cut back foliage from all perennials to discourage pests. Leave the flowers that have seeds for the birds.
Trim all the tall grass away from the corners of your home and from around the trees. This discourages rodents from building nests.
Dig up all tender bulbs such as canna, gladiola etc. Wrap them up carefully in moist gardening material and store them in a dark, cool space.
If you want to plant neurosis shrubs and deciduous trees, October is the best time to do it. The cold weather is perfect for growth, and the plants take root quickly. The soil is also much easier to work with during the season.
But this is also the perfect time to nourish your soil for next year’s gardening work. Spread a fresh layer of shredded leaves, topsoil, manure or compost over your garden. When this breaks down during the winter months, it will significantly improve the quality of the clay or sandy soil.
