September is one of the best times of the year to give your Northern Virginia property some attention. As summer winds down and cooler fall weather approaches, homeowners have an excellent opportunity to clean up their landscapes, refresh planting beds, improve lawns and tackle outdoor projects before winter arrives.
At Complete Lawn Service of Northern Virginia, we have been helping homeowners create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces for more than 50 years. Whether your property needs seasonal maintenance or you’re ready for a complete landscape upgrade, September is a great time to get started.
Clean Up and Refresh Your Landscape for Fall
After months of summer growth, landscapes can begin to look overgrown and tired. Early fall is an ideal time to clean up planting beds and give shrubs and other landscape plants the attention they need.
Our professional landscaping services include:
- Landscape cleanup and weeding
- Shrub trimming and pruning
- Bed edging and maintenance
- Mulching
- New trees, shrubs and perennial plantings
- Lawn care and maintenance
- Irrigation system services
- Drainage solutions
- Outdoor landscape lighting
A professional fall cleanup can make an immediate difference in the appearance of your property while helping prepare your landscape for the changing season.
September Is a Great Time for New Plantings
If you have been thinking about adding new trees, shrubs or perennials to your Northern Virginia landscape, fall can be an excellent time to do it.
Cooler air temperatures reduce stress on many plants, while the soil remains warm enough to encourage root development. Establishing stronger roots during the fall can help plants get off to a better start when the growing season returns next spring.
Complete Lawn Service can help you choose plants that complement your home and landscape while considering important factors such as sunlight, soil conditions, drainage and available space.
Don’t Forget About Your Lawn
Your lawn has endured months of summer heat, humidity and periods of dry weather. September is an important time for cool-season lawns throughout Northern Virginia.
Fall lawn care can help address thin or stressed areas and encourage a thicker, healthier lawn. Depending on the condition of your property, this may include regular mowing and maintenance, aeration, overseeding and other lawn care services.
Taking care of your lawn now can make a noticeable difference both this fall and when your grass begins growing vigorously again next spring.
Upgrade Your Outdoor Living Space
Fall isn’t just about lawn and landscape maintenance. The comfortable temperatures make it a great season to improve the way you use your outdoor space.
Complete Lawn Service designs and installs a variety of professional hardscape and outdoor living features, including patios, walkways, retaining walls, steps and other custom landscape improvements.
We can also install outdoor landscape lighting to highlight your home’s architecture, illuminate walkways and showcase trees and landscape features. With daylight hours getting shorter throughout the fall, professionally designed lighting can add beauty, safety and functionality to your property.
Make Sure Your Irrigation and Drainage Are Working Properly
September is also a good time to evaluate how water moves around your property.
An irrigation system that isn’t operating correctly can leave some areas too dry while wasting water in others. Drainage problems can result in standing water, erosion and soggy areas throughout your lawn and landscape.
Complete Lawn Service can evaluate your property’s irrigation and drainage needs and recommend solutions designed specifically for your landscape.
