Renew your property with the changing season

With cooler temperatures comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your property with the colors and textures of autumn. As a complement to fading landscapes, consider adding mums, asters, or ornamental cabbages and kales to your property, for a boost of color as we say goodbye to summer. The professionals at Gerbert & Sons will determine the best varieties to thrive in your yard, and install them with proper care, ensuring their success throughout the season. For even greater impact, fill in underperforming areas with new shrubs for a more finished and appealing look to your yard. This is also a wonderful time to add that dramatic new tree you have been wishing for, and our experts will recommend the most appropriate species, based on your preference for height, canopy, foliage, and fruit or flowers. Container gardens can be revived at this time with a refreshing mix of cool weather adaptable plantings, embodying autumn’s glorious and rich color palette.

Property care steps for fall

Before that first frost comes along and the ground begins to freeze, add new bulbs to your planting beds for a welcome splash of spring color when the warm weather returns our way. Certain perennials benefit from dividing and replanting in this cooler weather, along with cutting back after final flowering to improve appearance and increase yield next spring. Have our team review all of your plantings to determine the best steps for the health and maximum appeal of each variety, along with your lawn, and suggest the most appropriate organic fall fertilizers to ensure a lush, colorful yard as we welcome back warm weather next year.
