Escondido Lumber and True Value Hardware

Ah, Fall is in the Air! Once you're done carving pumpkins, there are a number of serious fall chores for the landscaper to complete before winter in order to ready the landscape for the next growing season. Let's take a look at some of the required chores, breaking them down by landscaping category.

Fall Lawn Care:
• Apply herbicides to broadleaf weeds.
• Correct pH. If a soil test should show a need to reduce acidity, apply lime now. If alkalinity needs to be reduced, apply sulphur.
• Once the leaves start falling, rake those leaves, lest the leaves smother your grass over the winter. To maximize your landscaping efficiency when raking leaves, make mulch and compost with the leaves that you rake .
• Overseeding: Overseed your lawns with cool-season grasses. You apply fertilizer to cool season grasses early in the fall. Since these grasses often grow most vigorously during periods of moderate weather (not too hot, not too cold), it is precisely at this time that they can best use the nutrients provided by a fertilizer. Fertilization helps the lawn recover from the summer heat and prepares it for the next growing season.

And it’s the time to head for Escondido Lumber and True Value Hardware in Escondido, for new gardening tools, for fertilizer, seeds, the latest in technology to beautify you home and garden.
