Fall Tips & Tricks

GMS wants to provide you with as many helpful tips and tricks of the trade to allow you to have a healthy, beautiful property for years to come. We also want to keep the work to a minimum to reserve your free time.

Here are a few helpful hints to help your property prepare for the fall and winter seasons and allow for an excellent spring:

• Remove all dead flowers and branches from your plants throughout the landscape.
• Install Malorganite to all planting bed areas.
• Install slow release fertilizer plugs to all trees.
• Water all plants once per week for the remainder of the season, if no rain occurs.
• Prune plants to a smaller size to accommodate stressed root systems. This is called rejuvenation pruning.
• Wait to aerate lawn till the end of the season.
• Fertilize the lawn with a slow release fertilizer.
• Remove all weeds from planting bed areas and especially the base of each plant.
• Add mulch to areas around plants and tree.
