Monday, August 31st – Fall Starts Now: Five Things to Do Before September
Hi friends, Brinx here.
Can you believe it? Summer is almost over.
I've had a great season supervising barbecues, inspecting pools, and making sure nobody dropped any hamburgers.
Now it's time to help your backyard transition into fall.
End-of-August Checklist
Inspect Your Lawn
Repair thin or damaged areas before cooler weather arrives.
Evaluate Drainage
Take note of puddles after late-summer storms while they're still easy to identify.
Plan Fall Plantings
Many trees, shrubs, and perennials establish exceptionally well during autumn.
Schedule Outdoor Projects
Fall is one of the busiest seasons for patios, fire features, retaining walls, and outdoor living improvements.
Prepare Pools for Closing
While swimming season isn't over yet, planning ahead helps avoid last-minute scheduling.
Looking Ahead
September brings cooler evenings, football gatherings, backyard fire pits, and one of the best seasons to improve your outdoor living space.
Brinx's Backyard Tip
I've learned something after watching people for years...
The best backyards aren't always the biggest.
They're the ones where families spend time together.
Why It Matters
Preparing now allows you to enjoy the beautiful Kansas fall weather while protecting the investments you've made in your landscape all year long.
