Preparing your property for the challenges of fall and winter is essential as the cooler months approach. Proper maintenance helps protect your trees, lawn, and landscaping during the colder seasons and sets them up for a healthy and vibrant return in the spring. This guide provides key tips on caring for your trees, managing fallen leaves, preparing your lawn, and protecting your landscaping to ensure everything remains in top condition through the winter. Let's dive into some simple yet effective practices to keep your property looking its best.


Trees

Remove dead or damaged branches to prevent them from falling during windstorms. 

Trim overgrown branches to encourage healthy growth and maintain the tree's shape. 


Inspect your property for any hazardous trees that could pose a threat during high winds in the fall and winter months. If you identify a dead or dangerous tree that needs to be removed, submit the Architectural Controls Application before proceeding with removal.


Leaves


Rake fallen leaves frequently to prevent mold growth and protect your lawn. 

Ensure proper disposal, whether by composting, bagging, or curbside collection. 


Lawn Care 


If you haven't already, dethatch and reseed your lawn to promote new growth and strengthen it for the colder months. 


Landscaping 


Trim dead or dying plants to stimulate healthy regrowth in the spring. Apply a fresh layer of mulch to flowerbeds to insulate plants from cold temperatures. 


Remove any dead plants or flowers and replace them with cold-resistant varieties. 


Following these fall property maintenance tips will protect your trees, lawn, and landscaping through the colder months and set the stage for a healthier, more vibrant outdoor space come spring.


A little effort now can save time and trouble later, ensuring your property remains safe, beautiful, and well-maintained all year long. Get ahead of the season and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a well-prepared home and yard.
