Autumn is one of the most important seasons in the gardening calendar. Yet it is often the season that homeowners pay least attention to. If your garden is going to look its best next spring and summer, the work you do now makes all the difference. Our team provides a professional gardener in Lightwater service to take care of every seasonal task you need.
Why Autumn Care Sets You Up For Spring
The condition of your garden in spring depends heavily on what you do in autumn. For example, bulbs you plant now will flower in spring. Borders you cut back and clear now will be much easier to manage next year. In addition, a lawn that you aerate and feed now will bounce back far more strongly when spring arrives.
Many homeowners find that their gardens deteriorate year on year simply because they skip autumn care. As a result, hiring a professional gardener in Lightwater means you can rely on us to handle every seasonal task.
What Autumn Gardening Involves
There is more to autumn garden care than raking leaves, though that is certainly part of it. Here is what our gardener in Lightwater team typically handles through October and November. First, cutting back perennials and removing dead growth is an important step. Hedges also benefit from a final trim before growth slows right down. Furthermore, ponds need attention to prevent leaf debris building up and affecting water quality.
Autumn is also the right time to plant spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils, tulips, and alliums. The Royal Horticultural Society has helpful guidance on planting times and depths for each variety. Getting these in the ground now means you have colour to look forward to through February, March, and April.
Structural issues such as damaged edging, uneven paving, or a struggling lawn are also worth tackling in autumn. Our gardener in Lightwater team can carry out this kind of work while the ground is still soft and workable.
