Fall To Do List for Your Lawn



Summer is nearly over, and fall begins in just a few short weeks. Is your lawn ready for the upcoming cold months? Here is a brief rundown of how to make sure lawns and irrigation systems in Eden Prairie are ready for fall and winter. 

First of all, you are going to want to call Advanced Irrigation to schedule your fall blow out. We do a lot of these throughout the fall months for irrigation systems, so it is best to call us as soon as possible to get on our schedule. We take care of things like draining the pipes of water and making sure the system is ready for the colder temperatures. Irrigation systems definitely need fall blow out services so the harsh winter weather does not damage them!

Then you should take the time to clean up your yard. Rake up any debris and clear out debris and any other trash out of your flower beds. Fluff mulch with a rake. This ensures the water will penetrate deeper into your soil. Fall flowers like chrysanthemums and asters are great for this time of year, so it is now time to shop for those plants and get them in the ground.

The hot summer months can be tough on anyone’s yard, no matter how well maintained they are and how often the irrigation systems run. So take the time to reseed your yard wherever it is needed. If you decide to prune any plants, take a lighter hand with them than you normally would. Pruning helps to promote new growth, so you do not want to encourage too much of that as the temperatures are starting to drop.
