Getting Your Pool & Outdoor Space Ready for Fall

As summer winds down and cooler weather begins to arrive, it’s time to start thinking about the transition from long pool days to the quieter months of fall. J Squared Landscape Design & Build is here to help with the transition.

Don’t Wait to Schedule Your Pool Closing

If you have a pool, getting it properly winterized is one of the most important things you can do to protect your investment. Waiting until the first cold snap can leave you scrambling for an appointment. Pool closings should be scheduled ahead of time so everything can be properly cleaned, winterized, protected, and covered before freezing temperatures arrive. If your pool needs to be closed this fall, now is the time to get on the schedule.

Fall Is One of the Best Times to Plant

Spring gets most of the attention when it comes to landscaping, but fall can actually be an excellent time to install trees, shrubs, and many perennials. Cooler temperatures reduce stress on new plants while the soil remains warm enough for roots to continue developing. That gives plants an opportunity to establish themselves before winter and puts them in a great position when spring arrives.

Cooler Weather Means Fire-Pit Season

There might not be a better time to have a great backyard than a cool fall evening. A properly designed fire feature can turn a patio that doesn’t get much use after summer into a gathering place throughout the fall—and even into winter. And you don’t have to settle for a basic fire ring. If you’re already considering a patio project, adding a fire feature during the design process is one of the best ways to make the space feel finished and extend how many months of the year you can actually use it.
