Get Your Yard Thanksgiving-Ready: Tips from Landscaping Jents

1. Rake Those Leaves

With fall in full swing, you likely have a blanket of leaves covering your yard. Not only can leaves make your yard look messy, but they also trap moisture that can lead to mold and pests. Raking leaves now will help prevent damage to your lawn and make your yard look clean and inviting for guests. If you need a hand, Landscaping Jents has the tools (and the passion!) to tackle even the most leaf-covered yards.

2. Trim Shrubs and Hedges for a Clean Look

Overgrown shrubs and hedges can make your yard look unkempt. A quick trim can work wonders, instantly making your landscape look polished and welcoming. Plus, keeping hedges trimmed ensures they’re healthy and ready for winter.

3. Add Seasonal Decorations

Add warmth to your landscape with a few seasonal decorations. Think pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and fall flowers like mums. These decorations add a touch of seasonal charm that complements the Thanksgiving spirit without breaking the bank. We can help you arrange them around your yard to achieve a balanced, festive look.

4. Prepare Your Lawn for Winter

As the weather cools down, your lawn could use a little extra attention. Fertilizing your grass now helps strengthen its roots so it can weather the winter chill and bounce back in the spring. Landscaping Jents can apply a winterizing fertilizer that’ll keep your lawn strong and healthy.

5. Clear Pathways and Walkways

Nothing says “Welcome” like a clear, well-maintained pathway. Sweeping or power-blowing leaves and debris from your pathways will create a safe, inviting entrance for your Thanksgiving guests. And for those expecting snow, salting or adding gravel will prevent ice buildup, ensuring your guests’ safety.

6. Outdoor Lighting for Evening Gatherings

Thanksgiving dinners often stretch into the evening, and good lighting adds both safety and ambiance to your outdoor spaces. Consider adding pathway lights or hanging string lights to create a cozy, inviting glow. We can install temporary or permanent lighting solutions to ensure your yard shines even after the sun sets.

7. Add Mulch for a Finished Look

Adding a fresh layer of mulch not only gives your garden beds a finished look, but it also helps to insulate plant roots for the winter. This simple touch can make your flower beds stand out while helping to protect your plants from the cold.
