Back to school lists are coming out and fall decor is starting to take over the stores, but we’re not ready to sip on our pumpkin spice lattes just yet. Summer fun isn’t done in our books!

We’re still cannonballing into pools, sprucing up our curb appeal, and pouring the concrete on some new projects. While there’s no “summertime sadness” here, some s’mores fireside this fall doesn’t sound half bad either! 

Whether you enjoy splashing poolside or chilling fireside, this backyard does it all! In case you missed it, we posted our first #SummerSeries last month getting into the details of the “before” of this space, the plans and construction process, and of course the final product. We hope this gives you a peek behind the curtain of the process from start to finish!

Don't forget to call to get on our calendar for end-of-season summer maintenance and start planning for upcoming fall services! While these tasks are best completed in the cool fall weather, the deadline to book is August 31st (and it will be here before we know it)!

You may be familiar with fall clean up, but there's some summer items to check off your to-do list before the weather starts cooling down. It's time to get your outdoor spaces in tip top shape before the fall leaves start raining on our lawns! Call the Pros before August 10th to get on our clean-up calendar this summer.

While the Pros are in the middle of our summer clean-up and soon, we'll have our end-of-season checklist started, we can't forget about fall planting! Most homeowners do a majority of their planting in the spring, so what's so great about waiting until the fall instead?

• Root Growth. For starters, 80% of a plant's roots grow in the late summer/early fall seasons. You'll notice a big difference in trees and shrubs planted in the fall.
• Ideal Temperatures. The incoming cool weather and warm soil from the summer season creates the ideal condition for establishing new plants and transplants. In fact, the soil is much warmer in the fall than it is in the spring!
• Watering. While watering is very important for new plants, many will go dormant in the fall while they focus on root growth, meaning they'll use much less water. This allows for more infrequent watering in the fall, and you'll find you have a more drought-resistant plant in the spring due to their well-established roots.
• Less Weeds. By now, your garden will have much less competition from weeds than in the summer months, so new plants won't have to fight as much for nutrients.

What's on your summer bucket list? Outdoor concerts, farmer's markets,

and days at the pool are just some of the things on ours.
