The Manscapers’ Tips for Fall Landscaping:

THINK (EVER) GREEN: Particularly for those on the East Coast, it is a great time to plant tree shrubs, trees, and evergreen plants that will stay green throughout the winter. 

HARDSCAPING: Now’s the time to focus on hardscaping, a.k.a building or fixing a patio/deck. This way, once spring comes - the focus can be on planting!

CLUSTER CONTAINERS: For those equipped, bring your outdoor plants inside for a winter vacation. For those not conducive to indoor life, cluster them together and move them closer to your home - which will radiate some heat. Adding a thick layer of mulch will help to keep the soil warm as well.

SHHH… PS: Nurseries often have their biggest sales this time of the year, so it’s the perfect time to make sure you’re not neglecting your outdoor oasis!
