As temperatures begin to dip across Central Texas and the long, sun-drenched days of summer give way to cool autumn breezes, your landscape enters a crucial period of transition. While it might be tempting to take a break from yard work, fall is actually one of the most important times to give your lawn and outdoor spaces a little TLC—Texas Landscape Creations style.
Whether you’re managing a commercial property in Round Rock or taking pride in your custom residential landscape in Bryan and College Station, fall lawn care isn’t just about appearances. It’s about laying the groundwork for healthy growth in the spring and keeping your property crisp, clean, and ready for the months ahead.
Why Fall Lawn Care Matters in Texas
Unlike northern states where grass growth stops abruptly with the first frost, Central Texas lawns taper off more gradually. This gives property owners a valuable window to address compacted soil, turf stress, and overgrowth before winter sets in.
At Texas Landscape Creations, we’ve spent over two decades refining seasonal landscaping practices specifically for the challenges of Central Texas. Our fall services are designed to prepare your landscape for cooler temps without overdoing it—because even in fall, your property deserves year-round attention and care.
Leaf Cleanup Services: More Than Just Curb Appeal
While fall foliage might look beautiful, letting leaves build up on your lawn can smother your grass and trap excess moisture—leading to rot, mold, and unwanted pests.
Our commercial-grade leaf cleanup services do more than rake and bag. We clear entire properties efficiently and dispose of or compost debris properly. The result? Your lawn can breathe, your beds stay tidy, and your property maintains a polished, professional look through the holidays.
Final Mow and Edging: Set the Stage for Dormancy
Before growth slows for winter, a final mow and edge can do wonders. Cutting your grass to the right height—typically between 2.5 to 3 inches—helps it store energy and discourages fungus. We pair this with clean edging around sidewalks, curbs, and beds to give your lawn a tidy, finished appearance.
At TLC, we bring a detailed eye to these tasks, ensuring sharp lines and consistent finishes that leave your property looking top-notch even after growth stops.
Aeration: Breathe Life Into Your Lawn
After a long, hot Texas summer, your soil is likely compacted—especially in high-traffic areas. Aeration is one of the most impactful things you can do in the fall.
By mechanically removing small plugs of soil, we allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. This boosts drainage, supports deeper root growth, and enhances the effectiveness of any fertilizer applications that follow.
Whether you manage an HOA or a backyard oasis, fall aeration is a smart investment in long-term turf health.
Fall Fertilization: Feed Your Grass for Future Growth
Fall isn’t just cleanup season—it’s feeding season. Applying the right fertilizer in the fall helps your lawn develop strong roots and recover from summer stress.
At TLC, we use custom fertilizer blends rich in potassium to support disease resistance and cold-weather resilience. Our licensed applicators tailor each treatment to your turf type and soil conditions for optimal uptake and results that last into spring.
Bed Maintenance and Shrub Care
Fall is the perfect time to remove dead annuals, and freshen up mulch in beds. This not only keeps things looking sharp, but also reduces the chance of pest issues and rot over the winter.
Our team trims shrubs, prunes as needed, and prepares ornamental plants for colder nights without sacrificing their spring potential. Clean beds and crisp hedges send the message that your property is maintained with pride and professionalism.
Add Seasonal Color Before the Chill
If your landscape is looking a little tired after summer, fall is the ideal time to plant cold-hardy seasonal color. Pansies, ornamental kale, and violas provide vibrant color and texture, keeping your beds lively well into winter.
TLC offers custom seasonal planting services tailored to both residential and commercial aesthetics. Whether you want to refresh a front entry or make a statement at a retail center, we’ve got the color combinations and planting strategies to make it pop.
