Well fall is officially here, even though it’s still hot
outside here in North Texas!
I know I am looking forward to cooler weather and the leaves starting to change colors. As the weather starts to cool off it’s time for October maintenance and fall gardening. I LOVE planting bulbs and anticipating them coming up in the spring!

October Homeowner Maintenance Checklist
- Change out your AC filter.
- Test your Smoke Detectors. Make sure the batteries are in good working order.
- Remove all the annuals from your flowerbeds & add them to your compost pile
- Plant pansies, decorative cabbages, and bulbs for color next spring like daffodils and tulips.
- Cover the beds with a layer of mulch to prepare it for spring and to help control weeds
- Mow your lawn on a lower setting, thatch your lawn with a steel rake, and aerate if required
- Mulch trees and shrubs as well.
- Remove dead and diseased branches on your trees so your home is not damaged during high winds or winter ice storms.
Enjoy the beginnings of cooler weather and the calm before the holiday rush begins!
