Fall Landscaping Essentials: Preparing Your Yard for Winter Success
Fall isn’t just about pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters; it’s when your yard needs the most attention. The leaves are falling, the grass is still growing, and your plants are trying to figure out how to survive the next few months. You could spend your weekends raking, pruning, and winterizing. Or you could let Fox Hollow handle the heavy lifting while you enjoy the season. We specialize in fall preparation that actually works, not just the stuff that looks good on Instagram.
Essential Fall Landscaping Tasks We Handle for You
Fallen leaves, overgrown lawns, and unprotected plants can create headaches come spring. The truth is, most homeowners either do too little (and pay for it later) or do too much (and waste time on tasks that don’t matter). Our fall cleanup and seasonal maintenance services take care of the heavy lifting so your property stays neat, protected, and ready for winter.
We handle the tasks that make a real difference: proper leaf removal that won’t suffocate your lawn, strategic pruning that encourages healthy spring growth, and plant protection that actually protects. Our team knows which plants need mulching, which trees benefit from late-season care, and how to prep your irrigation system so it doesn’t become an expensive spring surprise.
Fall Is the Best Time for Tree & Shrub Planting
Here’s something most people mistake: they think spring is planting season. But fall is actually when smart gardeners plant trees and shrubs. Cooler temperatures and moist soil create the perfect conditions for root establishment without the stress of summer heat. Fox Hollow’s experts can help you select and install trees and shrubs that will thrive in your landscape for years to come.
We don’t just stick plants in the ground and hope for the best. Our team considers your soil conditions, sun exposure, and long-term landscape goals. That maple you plant this October will thank you next spring when it’s already established and ready to grow, while your neighbor’s spring-planted tree is still figuring out where it lives.
Preventing Flooding Before Winter Storms
Nobody talks about this until it’s too late, drainage issues can worsen with snowmelt and heavy winter rains. That soggy spot in your yard isn’t just annoying—it’s a warning sign. Learn how our drainage and grading solutions protect your home and yard from costly water damage.
Our drainage experts can identify problem areas before they become expensive problems and implement solutions that work with your landscape, not against it.
