While most people associate fall with the leaves changing colors, leaf removal, lawn renovations, and landscape maintenance, it’s also arguably the best time to add landscaping elements and SK can certainly help with that. Just like fall is the best time to add new grass seeds to patchy spots of your lawn, trees, shrubs and perennials can benefit from the cool fall air and abundant moisture allowing their roots to grow strong before winter sets it. The trick to adding trees, shrubs and other plants in the fall is to make sure you’re picking the right ones that will thrive when it’s not too hot and not too cold.

While some plants can be somewhat sensitive to the often cool fall mornings, it’s best to consult with one of our landscaping experts to find out which trees, plants, perennials and shrubs will grow best and survive the winter. Another factor to consider in the fall is how much sunlight your newly planted trees, shrubs and other plants will get as the sun’s position in the sky gradually changes each season which means areas that were once rich in sunlight may become far too shady for plants to effectively grow.

For hardscaping projects, early fall is typically the best time to start as in most cases concrete will likely be used and the risk of freezing temperatures greatly increases at the end of the season. The problem with colder temperatures is that concrete can’t be poured and not to mention the ground can freeze and become solid as a rock making any digging or hardscaping work nearly impossible. The landscaping and hardscaping teams at SK Lawn and Landscape are always ready to help you create a unique, one of a kind area of your lawn that can provide elegant, natural beauty and, in the case of an outdoor living space, be a functional place for fun, entertaining and relaxing but time is running out this year.
