Continue reading to discover landscape improvements and fall planting tips.
You may long for the longer, hotter days of summer. But cooler temperatures and consistent rainfall create ideal conditions for establishing trees, shrubs, and perennials. Why? Roots grow steadily in the fall without the stress of summer heat. Planting now gives new additions a head start, setting them up to thrive next spring. We recommend selecting native plants that are well-suited to Indiana’s climate for optimal long-term growth and health.
September offers the chance to rethink garden layouts. Remove tired annuals, divide perennials, and reshape bed lines for a cleaner look. Adding new mulch or decorative stone provides a crisp, finished look. Strategic updates now improve curb appeal immediately and prepare beds for the seasons ahead.
As summer projects wind down, fall is an ideal time to tackle hardscape work. Patios, walkways, and retaining walls are easier to install in cooler weather, and crews have more availability. These upgrades expand outdoor living space and add value to your property. Planning now means you’ll enjoy the improvements by next summer.
Fall is also the season to repair and strengthen turf. Overseeding fills in thin spots, while aeration relieves compaction and boosts root growth. Fertilizing in September provides nutrients for strong grass that survives winter and greens up early in spring. Combining lawn care with planting projects maximizes results.
