When the holiday season hits here in Florida, we aren't in the midst of wintry weather like a lot of the country is, so we have to add in some other decor to make our homes look seasonal and festive. To get your landscape and other parts of your property's exterior ready for the holidays, we have created some tips on doing just that.
If you live in Palmetto, Parrish, Bradenton, or nearby Florida areas, read on to see how you can transform your outdoor space for the holiday season.
Adding a touch of the holidays to your front door is simple. You can choose a wreath with traditional Christmas colors or one that has other, bright colors for holidays such as Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. Another touch would be to add ribbons, particularly if you have steps leading up to your front door and a banister to fix the ribbons to. Also, consider putting some live evergreen trees in pots by the front door and wrapping those with holiday lights. All of these will create a warm, inviting spot for your guests as they enter your home.

Autumn is a time for preparing your landscape for the upcoming winter months. One of the services your landscape needs during the fall is trimming. Fall trimming prevents diseases, pest infestations, makes room for new growth, and prepares your landscape for its winter dormant period.
Here are some reasons why your landscape in Palmetto, Parrish, Bradenton, and the surrounding areas of Florida, needs a fall trimming.
Diseases are a common blight among landscape plants, as are pest infestations. Any time part of your plant becomes infected with a contagious disease or suffers from a pest infestation, the best remedy is to trim these areas off. Trimming off diseased parts of your plants will prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the plant and beyond to the rest of your landscape. Pests are often attracted to weaker parts of your plants as those are the most susceptible areas of your landscape plants. Trimming helps prevent infestation by removing these diseased, dying limbs and leaving behind strong ones that are resilient against disease and infestation.
Palm trees are fun, beautiful trees to grow, and thrive perfectly in our sunny Florida climate. Because of this, many homeowners enjoy growing palms in their yard. While palm trees are extremely rewarding to grow, they require special care to ensure they grow strong and healthy.
Here are some tips for preparing your palm trees for cooler weather in Palmetto, Parrish, Bradenton, and the surrounding areas.
When planting a new palm, it’s important to provide it with specialized care to prevent it from dying. Your palm’s root system is very sensitive and fragile, therefore you should never fertilize it before planting as this will burn the roots and cause your tree to die. Acclimatize your palms before planting them in direct sunlight. Many nurseries can be shaded, and if your palm was grown under shade, you need to make sure it acclimates to your specific area before planting it in the ground. To do this, keep it in a screened-in, shaded area to avoid sunburn and slowly place them in areas with more and more direct sunlight.
Palms like moist but...

Your lawn requires many things to help it grow and keep it healthy. Even when the cooler months of autumn roll around, your lawn still needs proper lawn care to ensure it can survive the winter and return thick and full in the spring. Leaf removal is vital to keeping your lawn healthy in the fall and preparing it for the winter.
Neglecting to remove dead leaves from your lawn suffocates your grass and kills it, inhibits water evaporation, and conceals dangerous pests. Here is why fall leaf removal is important for your lawn in Palmetto, Parrish, Bradenton, and the surrounding areas.
Allowing a thick layer of leaves to accumulate across your lawn suffocates your grass by blocking its access to sunlight and air. When your grass is unable to receive proper sunlight and air needed for photosynthesis, it can’t grow. Lack of nutrients also contributes to weaker, less resilient grass that is unable to fight off diseases and pests. Removing leaf clutter from your lawn ensures your grass can breathe and soak up the sunlight and air it needs for proper growth.
