Some of the most frequently asked fall landscaping questions are listed below and the answers may surprise you and change your plans for next weekend!
Q: Is it really vital to rake your leaves? A: Yes, leaves can easily deprive your grass of sunlight, considered one of its most required nutrients. If they are not raked up, a thick and/or matted layer of fallen leaves casts too much shade above the grass under.
Q: Do you trim your grass exactly the same way in the fall as you do in the summer? A: No, grasses should be kept slightly longer during the fall season. An optimal length for a cool-season grass in fall is about 2 1/2 inches. And also at each mowing and trimming, you must only be eliminating about the top 1/3 of the grass blade. Consequently, a good time to mow lawns is when your grass is about 3 2/3 inches high.
Q: Is it true that August is the end of the landscaping and gardening season? A: No, the fall is an excellent time for you to be moving or planting your perennials and vines. The garden soil is nice and warm still and there’s more rain now then when you plant or transplant your favorite perennials or vines, it is time for you to get its plant’s roots effectively founded.
Q: Is it true that in Vancouver, fall is the right time to plant shrubs and trees? A: Yes, the fall is among the best periods to grow trees and shrubs. The soil remains warm from the summer time so when you plant your tree or shrub its roots grow quickly and get well established before the cold sets in.
