First day of Fall

Today marks the first day of autumn and it is so great that the temperatures took a dip to really make it feel a bit like fall in San Antonio!

Now that we have some cooler temperatures, it is time get planting!  I know we have mentioned it before but wanted to remind you that SAWS is still offering a $100 coupon if you replace 200 sq ft of lawn with water saving plants.  They have a great website that have sample landscape designs you can use with drought tolerant plants.  This is a great autumn weekend DIY project that will save you money on your water bill AND $100 rebate!

Are you ready for fall?

With cooler temperatures predicted tomorrow, we will get a preview of the fall weather that is still a few
weeks away.  Almost every landscape needs a fall refresh to give your landscape new life for the fall and prepare for cooler temperatures.
 

Now is the right time to do the following:

• Add mulch to the landscape beds
• Compost on turf
• Replace plants that have died over the summer
• Add seasonal annuals to your beds and pots

If you need any help with getting your landscape ready for fall, give us a call!

What season annuals work best in San Antonio? We recommend Petunias, Fall Aster, Dianthus and Sweet Alyssum. Many want to plants Mums this time of year and that will work here but for a very short window of time.







Dianthus

Fall Aster
