Tips for Autumn! Spruce Up Your Outdoor Living

Tips for Autumn Spruce Up!


Spruce Up the Lawn

While brilliant fall foliage can automatically make your home look more attractive for showings, that doesn't mean you can slack off on lawn maintenance during this season. Keep falling leaves at bay, use a good per-emergent fertilizer, and make sure to spread Rye seed in October-November to keep your lawn green and strengthen core by keeping weeds out! 

 

Add Fall Flowers

Once your lawn is looking its best, spice it up with a splash of color. As your summer plants start to fade, replace them with vibrant mums or other colorful flowers known for their Autumn look! 

 

Clean the Gutters

  During the fall, be sure to clean your gutters and downspouts of leaves and other debris, which will acquire mostly in the Fall time while rain season is approaching.

 

Light It Up

As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important to provide more light for security reasons and also to show off your beautiful landscaping! Ask us about illuminating your landscaping at 281-914-7788 or email us at arborlife@arbor-life.com
