October is for Planting

October Landscaping in Central Texas: The Sweet Spot for Your Yard

Ah, October—when the Texas sun finally takes a breather, the evenings feel downright pleasant, and your landscape breathes a sigh of relief. While you’re unpacking pumpkins and sipping cider, your yard is ready for some love. Here’s what we can do for you this month:

🌳 Plant Trees & Shrubs

The soil’s still warm, the air is cooler, and roots are itching to grow. Planting now means stronger, healthier trees and shrubs come next summer. Oaks, elms, and cottonwood are a few examples of great choices to get started.

🌼 Refresh Flower Beds

Summer annuals look… well, tired. Let’s perk things up with pansies, violas, dianthus, and snapdragons. They’ll brighten your beds all fall and winter long.

🌱 Lawn Care Tune-Up

October is lawn spa season. Fertilizing with organic to feed your turf needs, now’s the time to get it done so you’re set up for success next year.

🍁 Fall Clean-Up & Mulching

Leaves are starting to tumble. Instead of bagging them, we mulch or compost them into rich, natural fertilizer—turning a chore into garden gold.

✨ Bonus: Wildflower Season

Dreaming of a spring carpet of bluebonnets and wildflowers? Seed them now and enjoy the payoff when the Hill Country puts on its famous show come springtime.

Why October?

Because fall is hands-down the best planting season in Central Texas. Plants establish roots in cooler weather and head into summer much stronger. Translation: less stress for them, less work (and watering) for you.
