Late Summer Landscaping Tips for a Gorgeous Massachusetts FallÂ
Late summer is the perfect time to set your yard up for a spectacular fall. A few smart landscaping steps now will keep your lawn healthy, your gardens vibrant, and your outdoor spaces looking their best well into the cooler months.
1. Refresh Your Lawn
August and early September are ideal for aerating, de-thatching, and overseeding. These steps help your grass recover from summer heat and prepare for the rich green growth that thrives in fall’s cooler temperatures.
2. Plant Fall-Friendly Blooms
Add seasonal color with mums, asters, or ornamental kale. These hardy plants brighten your landscape and stand up well to crisp autumn nights.
3. Maintain Hardscapes
Clean and seal patios, walkways, and stone walls to protect against moisture and frost damage. This also keeps your outdoor living areas inviting for late-season gatherings.
4. Prep for Leaf Season
Prune trees and shrubs now so you’re not buried under excess debris when the leaves start to fall.
