Is your home’s landscaping a little tired this fall? Turns out, now is the ideal time to place new plants for a landscape that will dazzle come spring! Planting now allows roots to take hold and grow strong throughout the winter months, especially here in Metro Atlanta, where the ground never freezes. Amp up your home’s landscaping curb appeal this fall with a mix of bulbs, shrubs, trees, and perennials.

Perennials

 

The cooler fall months are the ideal time to plant perennials. Unsure what makes a plant a perennial? These are plants that come back year after year, as opposed to annuals – like marigolds or geraniums – that must be replaced each spring or summer. The most popular perennials in the south are hostas for shady areas and knock-out

Monday, September 23rd is the officially the first day of fall! Shelves are stocked with everything pumpkin spice, mums are blooming, and leaves will soon start changing color. If you’re thinking of selling your home, autumn is a great time to do it. Fewer homes in the market means less competition and a faster sale.

Help buyers fall in love at first sight by sprucing up your curb appeal with six easy tips: 

  1. Autumn colors are beautiful, but not on your lawn.  Keep your grass free from leaves and other debris that gathers this time of year by raking and bagging regularly.
  2. Spiders and other creepy-crawlies move their homes closer to yours as the temperatures drop, leaving nests and webs galore.  Clean your front porch and doorway
