Across the Western Slope of Colorado, proactive landscape maintenance becomes essential as autumn sweeps in to safeguard your property’s health through the winter months.
Clearing fallen leaves, aerating compacted soil, and applying a nutrient-rich late-season fertilizer encourage robust root growth before the deep freeze sets in.
Wait to trim shrubs until they enter their dormant stage, as pruning during dormancy is far better for plant health.
While you can turn your water back, continue watering a couple of times a week to prepare for potential drought so your lawn and landscape don’t die off. Plan to winterize your irrigation system around the middle to end of October—depending on the weather, of course—to protect your lines and ensure a lush, vibrant property that springs back to life effortlessly next year.
