Fall in New England is a showstopper, crisp air, fiery foliage, and the perfect time to prep your commercial landscapes for a knockout spring. Our tips are dialed in for Connecticut, Westchester, and New Jersey’s USDA Zone 6b and clay-heavy soils, ensuring your high-traffic properties stay vibrant and inviting.
Lawn Care
Let’s get those lawns ready to impress! Core aeration is a must to tackle compacted clay soils, boosting drainage by 20% and giving roots the space to thrive in busy areas like retail plazas or corporate campuses. Overseed with Kentucky bluegrass or fine fescue, stars in our region with an 80% success rate, and pair with a 1-2-1 NPK fertilizer when soils hit 55-65°F in early September for a 30% root strength boost. Keep grass at a crisp 2.5 inches to block 15% of weeds, and wrap up with a mid-October mow to prep for winter. Those iconic New England maples and oaks drop a ton of leaves, mulch them for a 5% soil fertility kick, or clear heavy piles to stop 90% of fungal issues, keeping your turf pristine. Your properties will radiate curb appeal!
Weed & Pest Control
Weeds and pests? Not on our watch! Tackle dandelions and crabgrass now with deep-root extraction to cut 80% of spring regrowth, using no-dig methods to keep New England’s soils healthy. Apply eco-friendly pre-emergent herbicides by early October to block 85% of cool-season weeds, protecting local waterways like Long Island Sound and the Hudson River. Regular pest checks in high-traffic zones ensure your properties stay flawless, making every visitor’s first impression a great one.
Planting & Pruning
Fall’s the time to plant bold and prune smart! Native plants like New England aster, goldenrod, and switchgrass thrive in our Zone 6b, boosting pollinators by 40% and cutting maintenance costs by 15%. These stunners add vibrant fall color to your sites, from Hartford to Hackensack. Trim dead branches now to improve airflow and reduce disease risk by 25%, but hold off on major pruning until winter to keep plants thriving. Toss in mums or asters for a 15% boost in property appeal, paired with evergreens like white pine for year-round wow. Your landscapes will steal the show!
Soil & Mulch Management
Great landscapes start with great soil. Test pH, aim for 6.0-7.0 in our region, and adjust with lime or sulfur for a 20% nutrient uptake boost. Spread 2-3 inches of bark mulch to lock in 30% more moisture and shield roots from early frosts, especially in northern CT and NJ by late October. For your commercial properties, this means durable, vibrant grounds that save time and budget, pure New England magic!
