It's Time for Fall Greenscaping Your Yard!

Greenscapes are yards bursting with color and visual interest that are easy, water efficient and cost-effective to maintain. Greenscaping drastically lowers water consumption and lets nature do most of the work to keep our yards beautiful. Employing tips for greenscaping in the Fall ensures healthy plant growth come Spring. Here are 5 important steps to take this Fall!

• Fall is the perfect time to plant new shrubs and trees. Make sure they're native species!
• No need to water after Labor Day...Mother Nature will get the watering done!
• Check your mower blades and make sure they are sharp - a sharp mower blade cuts blades of grass cleanly so that grass plants recover quickly. It also helps reduce your lawn mowing time.
• Rake your leaves and lawn clippings and use them for compost in the garden
• Reseed your brown patches with hardier fescues
