As autumn spreads its brilliant colors across the mountains of Western North Carolina, October becomes one of the most important months for landscape care. What you do now ensures that your lawn, plants, and outdoor spaces not only survive the winter but also thrive when spring arrives. At B. H. Graning Landscapes, Inc., we help homeowners and businesses in Sylva, Cashiers, Canton, Asheville, and surrounding communities prepare their landscapes for the colder season ahead.
Stronger Lawns Start in Fall
A lush, healthy lawn in spring begins with the right care in autumn. Cooler temperatures and warm soil create the perfect environment for root development. Our fall turf program includes aeration to relieve compacted soil, lime treatments to balance acidic mountain soils, and overseeding to fill in bare spots. By taking these steps now, your grass will establish stronger roots and come back thicker, greener, and more resilient once the weather warms.
Hydroseeding Solutions
For large properties, steep slopes, or areas that need quick coverage, hydroseeding provides an efficient way to establish new grass. By combining seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water in one application, hydroseeding encourages fast germination, prevents erosion, and locks in moisture. It’s a cost-effective option that works particularly well in the hilly terrain of Western North Carolina.
Planting for Long-Term Beauty
October is also one of the best times to install new plants. The cooler weather reduces stress on young trees, shrubs, and perennials, allowing them to focus energy on building strong root systems before winter sets in. Whether it’s evergreens for year-round structure, colorful perennials for early blooms, or hardy native plants that naturally thrive in our mountain climate, fall planting ensures your landscape is ready to shine when spring arrives.
Managing Leaves the Right Way
While falling leaves add to the beauty of October, they can become a problem if left to pile up on your lawn. A thick blanket of leaves blocks sunlight, traps moisture, and can encourage mold and disease. Our professional leaf removal service keeps your yard clear and your turf healthy, ensuring that your grass continues to receive the air and light it needs.
Preparing Irrigation for Winter
As the season shifts, it’s important to make sure your irrigation system is ready for winter. Our team provides seasonal maintenance and winterization, preventing damage from freezing temperatures while making sure the system is properly adjusted for fall watering needs. When spring returns, your irrigation will be ready to perform at its best.
Setting the Stage for a Beautiful Spring
October landscaping is about more than just cleaning up leaves—it’s about building a stronger, healthier landscape that will carry your property through the winter and burst to life in spring. With over 20 years of experience serving Western North Carolina, B. H.
