Your Fall Landscaping To-Do List

Your Fall Landscaping To-Do List

It’s officially fall, so you can be forgiven for thinking your landscaping work is all over but for the leaf-blowing. However, the truth of the matter is that it’s time to take a deeper look at your lawn and garden – underground, in fact.

“Plants aren’t getting larger right now,” says Jennifer Brennan, a horticulturist with Chalet, a nursery and garden center in Wilmette that has been serving the North Shore for more than 100 years. In the fall, all the energy expended by plants “goes into the root development. It’s a metabolic process.”

As the days get shorter and the nights longer, plants begin preparing for winter, Brennan said. The temperate or warm daytime temperatures combined with the cooler night air makes September and October the ideal times to do your planting and landscaping work.

So, what should be on your fall to-do list? We asked Chicago-area landscaping experts, and here are their top 10 recommendations.

Keep The Light Shining All Through Fall

It’s not winter yet, but the early fall days are already getting shorter, and sometimes it feels like the summer sunshine is passing by faster than our last vacation. And the cold is not far behind. In fact, the average first date the thermometer hits freezing near Lake Michigan in fall is Oct. 14!

So, when it comes to keeping up cheerful sunny spirits well into Halloween and beyond, and warming both our spirits and our homes, it’s all about maximizing natural light. Here are some simple but effective interior decorating hacks to make the most of the daylight this fall.
