1. Plant Fall Flowers for a Burst of Color šøš¼
Fall is the perfect time to introduce new color to your garden! šŗ Consider planting fall-friendly flowers like marigolds, petunias, and pansies that thrive in cooler temperatures and bring bright, cheerful colors to your landscape. Mixing these with native Florida plants ensures a beautiful and resilient garden all season long. š»
2. Refresh Your Lawn for Year-Round Beauty š±š”
Cooler temperatures make fall the ideal time to aerate your lawn, overseed, and apply seasonal fertilizers. š This helps your grass grow thicker and healthier, ensuring a lush green lawn throughout the winter months. A well-maintained lawn not only boosts curb appeal but also provides a comfortable space for outdoor activities. š³ā½
3. Trim and Prune for Healthy Growth šæāļø
Regular trimming and pruning in the fall help maintain the shape and health of your shrubs, trees, and hedges. šŖ“ Cutting back overgrown branches and dead leaves encourages new growth and prevents diseases from spreading. Plus, it keeps your yard looking tidy and well-maintained! š³š
4. Install Mulch to Protect Your Plants š»š”ļø
Applying a fresh layer of mulch around plants and garden beds in the fall offers multiple benefits.
