Fall into Action: Prepping Your Vegas Yard for Cooler Days

While the rest of the country is bundled up raking leaves, we lucky Las Vegans get to enjoy a milder fall. But that doesn’t mean your yard can take a vacation! With a little TLC, you can ensure your landscape thrives through the cooler months and comes back even more vibrant in the spring.

Here’s your guide to fall yard cleanup, Vegas-style:

Tidy Up Those Palms: Those iconic palm trees? They shed! Grab a rake and clear away any fallen fronds or debris. This not only keeps your yard looking neat but also prevents pests from making a home in the debris.

• Need help with those towering palms? EarthSculpt can handle all your tree trimming needs, so you can stay safe and enjoy a perfectly manicured landscape

 Lawn Love (Or Ditch the Lawn Entirely!)

• Mow it down: Give your lawn a final trim before the cooler weather sets in. Keep your grass at a healthy height (about 2 inches) to prevent winter damage and discourage pests.
• Aerate: Our desert soil can get compacted. Aeration helps water and nutrients reach the roots, keeping your lawn healthy and strong.
• Overseed: Fall is the perfect time to overseed with cool-season grasses like ryegrass. This will keep your lawn lush and green all winter long.
• Tired of the constant upkeep? Consider switching to artificial turf! It’s a fantastic way to save water, reduce maintenance, and enjoy a lush green lawn year-round. EarthSculpt offers a wide selection of high-quality artificial turf options to suit your needs and style.

Show Your Plants Some TLC:

• Trim and prune: Remove any dead or dying branches from trees and shrubs. This encourages healthy growth and prevents potential hazards during windy days.
• Feed your plants: Give your plants a boost with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for fall. This will help them store energy for the winter months.
• Mulch it up: Add a fresh layer of mulch around your plants. Mulch helps regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weeds.

Desert-Specific Duties

• Cactus care: Inspect your cacti for any signs of pests or diseases. Remove any dead or damaged parts.
• Protect from frost: While frost isn’t common in Vegas, it can happen. Be prepared to cover sensitive plants if temperatures dip unexpectedly low.

Don’t Forget the “Extras”

• Check your irrigation system: Inspect for leaks or damage and adjust watering schedules as needed for cooler temperatures.
• Spruce up your hardscaping: Power wash patios, walkways, and driveways to remove dirt and grime buildup.

With a little effort this fall, you can ensure your Las Vegas yard stays beautiful and healthy all year round. Happy cleaning!
