Fall days are still long and bright enough to make being outside pleasant but cooler than the summer heat, so the idea of taking on a landscape project is inviting. If you’re looking for ways to take advantage of fall days and also get a jump on gearing up for winter or spring projects, think about what you loved about your landscape over the past few months. What could use some improvements and what might be a good idea to tackle before winter closes in? Below are eight ideas that can give you a head start.
Some of these are fairly simple. Others might take more time and require help from professionals. If you’re looking at building projects, check first with local pros about availability and timelines, especially if cold weather will curtail further progress. You’ll also need to check local regulations and requirements for required permits, as they can vary widely for even small projects.
