Essential Fall Landscaping Maintenance Tips

October 31, 2024

Preparing your clients’ landscapes for fall and winter is crucial to maintaining their beauty and function year-round as the cooler months approach. These fall landscaping maintenance tips will help you offer effective solutions for managing erosion, protecting artificial turf, and enhancing landscape lighting. By taking these steps, you will ensure that your clients’ properties stay in excellent condition, while also positioning yourself as their go-to expert.

Drainage and Erosion Control

One of the most important fall maintenance tips is addressing drainage and erosion control before the rain sets in. Wattles and jute netting are effective solutions for preventing soil erosion on slopes and areas prone to runoff. Wattles slow down water flow, while jute netting stabilizes the soil and promotes new plant growth. Both products are easy to install and provide reliable erosion control solutions. Plus, with both on sale this month, now is the perfect time to stock up and pass the savings on to your clients.

Protecting Your Artificial Turf in Cold Weather

For clients with artificial turf, a little extra care during fall and winter can go a long way. Regularly removing fallen leaves and debris will prevent moisture issues like mold and mildew. You can also check the turf’s drainage system and top up the infill where necessary to keep water flowing smoothly. Brushing the turf helps maintain its natural appearance, making it an easy upsell for your turf maintenance services this season. Our Watersavers Turf team can help answer any questions and give you more maintenance tips as well.

Landscape Lighting Projects for Fall

Shorter days mean more opportunities to highlight your clients’ landscapes with well-placed lighting. By adding or upgrading lighting around walkways, patios, and trees, you can enhance both safety and curb appeal.
