Fall is the Prime Season to Plant New Trees, Shrubs and Perennials

The Autumn Advantage

Professional crews carefully prepare new trees for fall installation, giving roots the space they need for healthy growth.

As the heat of summer subsides, fall emerges as the ideal season for homeowners looking to enhance their landscapes with new trees, shrubs, and perennials. Cooler air temperatures coupled with still-warm soil create optimal planting conditions – roots can establish without the stress of summer’s peak heat or drought, giving new plants a strong head start.

Root Growth Thrives

In autumn, deciduous trees begin to shift energy from foliage into root development. Unlike spring, when above-ground growth competes for resources, fall planting encourages new roots to grow deep and strong. This root focus prepares plants to withstand winter’s chill and bounce back vigorously come spring, often with enhanced resistance to pests and disease.

Watering for Winter Success

While the cooler fall weather means new plantings require less frequent watering compared to the heat of summer, proper hydration remains essential for both new and established plants. Consistent watering helps new roots settle in and access nutrients from the soil before the ground freezes. Don't forget your existing landscape plants; they also need adequate moisture to store energy and prepare for winter dormancy. Proper watering now ensures your entire landscape has the resources to withstand the chill and return healthy and strong.
