Fall is the perfect time to add landscaping elements and renovate your lawn in the Kansas City area but it needs to be done before winter particularly if you are adding plants or grass seed to your lawn. With the cool fall air and the abundance of sunshine during this time of year, it’s the perfect time to fill in any patchy areas of your lawn and add landscaping elements like planting trees, bushes, or adding plant, mulch or rock beds.

The advantages of planting in fall are numerous but one factor really stands out. While we tend to associate spring with plant grown the fact is that fall is much more conducive to productive grown because the air is cool while the soil is still warm from the summer. While spring is often times cool like fall, plants typically don’t start growing until the soil has warmed up which can be almost in the summertime in Kansas City. Even though winter temperatures can be harsh in Kansas City, planting trees, grass, shrubs, and perennials in the fall will allow them to get their roots into the soils, soak up some sun and get adequate water from autumn rains which in most cases occur weekly.

If fall is dryer than normal, it’s much easier on homeowners and on your plants to adequately water your new plants as the cool temperatures are much more comfortable to be outdoors and the water will not evaporate like in the hot summer sun. Spring bulbs should also be planted in the fall as well if you want to them to bloom in the springtime. Amazingly enough, spring bulbs actually thrive and bloom more vibrantly when planted in the fall and lie dormant in the winter cold.
