🌿It Is Not Too Late To Plant!🌿
As the days get shorter and the temperatures start to drop, it’s easy to think that the gardening and landscaping season is coming to an end. But don’t put away those gardening gloves and tools just yet! Fall is actually an excellent time to get planting, and there are some great benefits to giving your yard a little attention before winter arrives.
Whether you have been dreaming about adding a few new trees and shrubs, filling in your garden beds with perennials, or finally replacing that tired patch of lawn with fresh sod, there is still time to make it happen! We have our End-of-Season Sale happening now, so you can take advantage of some big savings.
Why Plant in the Fall?
🌡️Cooler temperatures = less stress
The cooler fall weather means plants aren’t dealing with the intense heat and evaporation of summer. This can make the transition from the nursery to your yard easier and help plants settle into their new surroundings.
🌳 Root growth continues after the top of the plant slows down
As temperatures cool, many plants shift their energy toward root development. While you may not see a lot of new growth above ground, there can still be important work happening below the soil. A well-established root system gives plants a strong foundation heading into spring.
💧 More natural moisture
Fall often brings more consistent rainfall and less intense heat, which can help keep newly planted trees, shrubs, and perennials hydrated. Of course, newly planted material still needs proper watering until the ground freezes!
🪻 Get a head start on spring
Plants established in the fall can enter spring with roots already settling into their new home. When the growing season begins again, they’re ready to get to work.
🌱 And Yes – You Can Plant Sod In The Fall Too! 🌱
Cooler temperatures are ideal for helping new sod establish its roots without the intense summer heat, same as any tree, shrubs or perennials. With proper watering and care, fall-installed sod has time to root before winter and can give you a beautiful head start on next season’s lawn.
We receive Shellview Sod every Tuesday and Friday, right up until freeze.
Take advantage of big savings on trees, shrubs, perennials and more while supplies last.
So, before you call it quits on your yard for the season, take another look at what you’ve been meaning to get done.
That tree you have been wanting to plant?
Those shrubs you’ve been putting off?
That lawn that could use a refresh?
There is still time. Plant now. Save big. Give your yard a head start on next season.
