Schedule Your Fall Clean Up Now

posted by finkegardens on September - 22 - 2009

Another beautiful season is coming to an end and our retail store has closed for the season.  The business office will be open 9am to 3pm Monday through Friday to continue to serve your needs.  Now is the perfect time to schedule fall clean up, prepare your gardens for the upcoming season, and begin a design for your landscape.

Fall clean up services include

Re-mulching

Pruning of shrubs

Application of Wilt Pruf to protect those broadleaf and newly planted evergreens.  See the related article “Keep Evergreens Green All Winter.”

Cutting back of ornamental grasses and perennials.  Consider leaving your ornamental grasses this winter for their rich golden colors and graceful forms.  Grasses and perennials can be cleaned up in the spring as well.

Trunk Guards for winter protection against hungry rabbits

Consider these other services

Now is a great time to incorporate organic matter into your perennial beds and vegetable gardens before next season.  Freeze thaw cycles over the winter months will naturally add structure to your soil preparing it for the upcoming growing season.

Use this time to begin designing your landscape for the upcoming spring insuring that you’ll be first in line next season.  Finke Gardens is currently offering a $200 rebate on installed projects of $2,500 or more.  For more details see our article “Design Now, For Next Year & Beyond.”

As we move into winter Finke Garden’s is here for snow removal.  Call to schedule an appointment for a free estimate.
