Getting Ready for Fall: What to Plant, What to Prepare and What to Watch

Late summer is a good time to look ahead. Fall planning starts with the plants you want, the condition of the site and the work that needs to happen before cooler weather arrives.

Fall Planning

Prepare the site before the season changes.

Start with the goal.

Decide what you want to improve this fall. You may be planning new trees or shrubs. You may also be preparing lawn areas, planting beds or drainage improvements.

Look at the conditions already on the property.

Sunlight and soil matter. Drainage matters too. A good fall plan starts by understanding what the site can support before choosing plants or products.

Know what grows where.

Plant zones are one useful guide when selecting plants. Professionals call them USDA Plant Hardiness Zones. The term describes the lowest temperatures an area typically experiences. It is a starting point, not the entire planting decision.

Plan for the season ahead.

The Roundtree Report will focus on practical fall questions as the season approaches. We will cover planting choices, lawn preparation, soil, fertilizer and the outdoor issues that become more noticeable as conditions change.

Start with the location and the goal. Look at sunlight, available space, soil and drainage. Then choose plants that fit those conditions and the long term size of the space.

No. Fertilizer needs vary by plant and turf type. Soil conditions matter as well. The product and timing should match what the site actually needs.

It depends on the turf species and the condition of the site. Irrigation, establishment time and the expected finish also matter. The right choice depends on the specific lawn and project goal.

One area may receive more sun or reflected heat. Another may hold water longer or have compacted soil. Small site differences can create very different results.
