As the temperatures drop, your landscape needs a little extra care to stay healthy and ready for spring. Fall and early winter are ideal times for cleanup, protection, and planning ahead.
Here are five essential landscaping steps every Atlanta homeowner should take before the cold sets in:
- Leaf and Debris Cleanup: Removing fallen leaves and debris keeps your lawn from suffocating and prevents mold growth.
- Trim Trees and Shrubs: Winter storms can cause branches to break — trimming now helps avoid property damage later.
- Protect Sensitive Plants: Add mulch and protective coverings to help plants retain warmth and moisture.
- Aerate and Fertilize Your Lawn: Late-season aeration ensures roots get enough oxygen and nutrients before dormancy.
- Plan for Drainage: Heavy rains in winter can cause flooding — evaluate your yard’s drainage before it’s too late.
