If your grass is still feeling the effects of this summer's heat, don't worry, because fall is the best time to help it recover.

Here's your step-by-step guide to get things back on track before winter:

- Keep watering (deeply!): Even with cooler temps, your lawn needs about 1" of water per week, especially if it's still brown or crunchy. Water deeply 1-2 times a week rather than daily sprinkles to encourage strong root growth.

- Raise your mower height: Taller grass shades the soil and keeps it cooler. Aim for a 3"mowing height and keep your blades sharp to avoid tearing drought-stressed turf.

- Hold off on reseeding (for now): If the lawn is still dormant or struggling, wait until consistent moisture returns. Otherwise, new seed may dry out or fail to germinate.

- Skip the dethatching: Thatch can protect dry lawns by retaining moisture. Wait until spring to dethatch if necessary.

- Aerate compacted soil: If your lawn feels hard underfoot, fall is a great time to aerate and improve water and nutrient absorption.

- Use the right fertilizer: Choose a fall fertilizer with higher potassium (the “K” in N-P-K). It helps roots recover and strengthens your lawn ahead of winter. Our fertilizer package clients don't need to worry about this one; it's already on the schedule!

- Keep foot traffic low: Avoid walking or parking on stressed areas to prevent further damage to weakened grass.

- Be patient: A drought-damaged lawn takes time to regrow. With the right care now, it'll come back stronger in spring.

Boxwood used to be the default for garden design. But these days it's the one we get a lot of calls about come summertime.

Box tree moth has made its way to Ontario, and it goes after boxwood specifically. So hedges that used to be fairly low maintenance and bushes that would hold their shape in garden designs are now being pulled out every week because of pests and blight.

On the upside, it gives us a little more room for experimenting with garden designs. We work with our clients to decide on where their values are (i.e. do they want to water less, less pruning, less maintenance, or are they looking for the garden of their dreams and they can't wait to get out and take care of it?) and then choose plants that align with them.

Here are some current favourites:

Smokebush gives you a big, loose shape with smoky purple plumes that show up in midsummer. It's a lot of drama, but there are varieties that don't spread out too much. Always make sure to check the variety before planting.

Spirea takes pruning the same way boxwood does, staying low and mounded, but it flowers. Pollinators love it.

Ninebark shears into a clean shape and keeps rich purple foliage all season, so you get the structure of a hedge without the flat green. Plant them 3 to 5 feet apart for a living privacy wall that is also a buffet for pollinators.

White cedar (or any compact cedar) can make for excellent privacy screens or hedges, depending on the type planted. It's green all year and low maintenance because it's slower growing.

Holly gets you closest to that classic boxwood look, small glossy leaves and an evergreen shape that takes shearing well.

Every yard is different, and the right pick depends on what you're trying to do: hedge, screen, or a plant that adds some drama to the garden.

Every garden design starts with a consultation, so book your free consult to chat about what would work for replacing your boxwoods.

Bagged mulch always seems to run short right when you need it most. You count out what looks like enough bags, spread it across the beds, and end up short. Or you stretch what you bought to cover more ground, and by August the weeds have already found their way through the thin spots.

Mulch only does its job at the right depth. Spread too thin, it doesn't block the sun from hitting the soil, and weeds can make their way through. Not to mention that it doesn't retain water when spread too thin. Pile on too much, and you actually have a fire hazard. Place it on the wrong roots, and you'll end up harming your perennial bushes.

We measure your beds before the truck even gets loaded, so the coverage is right the first time. And then we install it for you at the correct depth, placed around each type of plant appropriately.

If you want to skip 3 trips to the store to get more and more mulch, give us a call.
