Fall is the season for planting. Along with cooler temperatures and back-to-school in the DC Metro area come the beautiful colors of fall. This is the optimal time to get your yard ready for winter, encourage your entire landscape to stay healthy and come back strong in the spring.

Fall Planting: Get Your Lawn Ready
Fall is a beautiful season in its own right. For your lawn to look its best this season and throughout the year, effective planting, reseeding, sodding and fertilization is essential. Fall is one of the best times to plant and sow lawn seed.

Winterizing Your Landscape
Depending on your unique landscape, elevation, drainage patterns and other factors, leaves lying on your lawn during the winter can create one of two problems: they can prevent water from reaching your grass, or they can trap excessive moisture, causing grasses to rot and die by spring. The experts at Kehoe Landscaping will take all of these factors into account to optimally winterize your unique landscape, in a green-friendly manner.

Pruning for Winter

But your Kehoe landscaping experts know that pruning certain types of plants too late in the growing season can encourage new growth that will be damaged by frost.
