Leaf Cleanup This season is an ideal time to rid your landscape of dead or dying annuals and foliage. Doing this will reduce the risk of disease and insects spreading to healthy plants. Fertilization Ensure that your turf is rich with nutrients going into the winter season. Even in colder temperatures, the grass’ roots remain active. Feed them and help them store more nutrients – and you’ll be thankful you did come spring! Fertilizing during the fall season will also help your shrubs and trees stay healthy during the winter months by supplementing the lost nutrients when you rake those fallen leaves.

Pruning enhances plant health and makes the tree – as well as your landscape – more beautiful when done the right way.
