Since launching, EcoBridge has provided premium landscaping services in Vancouver to clients looking to create a refined aesthetic in the outdoor spaces around the home.
As we roll into fall, it’s time to get prepared. September is a time of transition in your garden. The weather may still be warm, even hot, but traditionally this is the time to prune away the summer greenery and make way for fall’s distinct palette. This is also a pivotal time to begin the cleanup and processes that promote healthy and abundant growth next spring.
Landscaping Services for Your Fall Garden
Even with cool evenings and crisp mornings around the corner, it’s hardly indoor weather. Seize the opportunity to maximize pumpkin season with a cleanup and cool-weather planting that will leave your garden tidy and colourful, allowing you to relax and reconnect with the natural world while enjoying Vancouver’s misty mornings and dusky sunsets.
When it comes to fall landscaping in Vancouver, the first step is to assess your unique landscape and biozone. If a stunning garden dressed in the colours of the harvest is your objective, it’s essential to consider what’s going to work. For example, does the perennial bed need cutting? Do trees need to be pruned and limbed to allow more light? Is the lawn fatigued and sparse after too much sun? Is your irrigation system working properly? Does soil need to be amended or improved? We stay on top of your garden’s needs, relying on sustainable methods and persistent care to keep your outdoor spaces healthy, lush and thriving.
Adding Seasonal Colour
Planning a fall garden means opting for cooler-weather perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs, and vegetables, and finding the proper zones for each in Vancouver. To imbue homes with seasonal colour, we lean on native species like Bowles Golden, Ice Dance, and Sun Flare. Dwarf trees like Japanese maple offer their own late-season interest, while flower options like Hellesbore and Black-Eyed Susan add their own stunning appeal to the late fall landscapes.
Beyond tidying your garden beds and clearing away leaves, we also take the time to determine what nutrients are needed to amend the existing soil that has been depleted over the growing season. We use organic components like peat, composted bark mulch, high-quality organic soils and specialized fertilizers to get the desired consistency and nutritional balance to promote healthy plant growth.
Cutting back plants in the fall requires a balanced approach. Not all plants are ready to be cut. We prune away the plants that have struggled through the heat, removing any dead, diseased or dying growth on your perennials. Besides giving plants a neater appearance, an early prune can help to fight disease for healthier plants during the growing season.
Lawns always need special consideration in the fall. If the hot summer has left your lawn looking sparse and thirsty, a high-potassium fertilizer offers enhanced cold and disease resistance.
