Three East Valley Yard Updates For September 2026

Monsoon season ends this month, and the East Valley finally starts turning the corner toward fall. Here are three East Valley yard updates for September to clean up what the storms left behind and get your yard ready for a green winter.

Storm cleanup, overseeding, and fall planting are all in play this month. Here is what to stay ahead of.

1. Clean Up What the Monsoons Left Behind

Monsoon season officially ends this month, and just like every year, the storms knocked over trees and broke plenty of branches across the valley. It was not as rough as last year, but we are still seeing damaged trees and fallen limbs all over the East Valley. If a tree came down or lost a major branch, our tree trimming team can remove the damage and rebalance what is left so the tree stays healthy and stable. And if your yard is covered in debris, our clean up service hauls it off and gets everything looking sharp again.

• Damaged trees trimmed, removed, or rebalanced before they become a hazard
• Fallen branches and storm debris cleared out of your yard
• A clean slate heading into fall

2. Book Your Overseeding for a Green Winter Lawn

September is the start of prime overseeding season here in the valley. If you want a green lawn this winter, now is the time to start planning your winter grass overseeding. Our overseeding window runs through the whole month of October, and the schedule fills up quickly once the weather turns. Our team handles the whole process so your winter rye comes in thick and even, and you can get your overseeding estimate today to lock in your spot.

• A thick, green lawn all winter while dormant Bermuda goes brown around the neighborhood
• Your spot on the schedule locked in before the October rush
• The whole process handled by a crew that does this every fall

3. Start Planning Your Fall Planting

Last month we told you summer is not the time to plant, and that is still true for most plants. September is the month to start planning what goes in this fall, whether you are replacing plants that did not make it through the summer or adding something new to your yard. Hardier plants can go in the ground during the second half of the month, while most others should wait until it cools off a little more. Three that can handle a late September planting are Little Ollie dwarf olive, Little John dwarf bottlebrush, and rosemary. If you need replacement plants or new additions, our team can help you choose the right plants and get them in at the right time.

• A planting plan ready to go the moment temperatures cool off
• Hardy plants like Little Ollie, Little John, and rosemary in the ground this month
• Gaps left by the summer heat filled before fall is in full swing
