SEPTEMBER Yard Updates

3 Tips for your East Valley, Arizona Yard this month of September!

As we move into September, your yard has different needs than it did just a few weeks ago. Between the last storms of monsoon season, the start of overseeding season, and the shift toward fall planting, there’s plenty to keep in mind to keep your yard looking its best. Here are three important yard updates for East Valley homeowners this month.

1. Monsoon Season Wrap-Up: Storm Damage & Clean-Up

Monsoon season officially ends this month, but many homeowners are still dealing with the aftermath of recent storms. Just last week, the East Valley saw the biggest storm of the season.

Storm debris: Leaves, branches, and dirt often pile up in yards after strong winds and heavy rain.

Tree damage: Many properties experienced serious damage to trees, ranging from broken branches to uprooted trunks.

If your yard was affected, it’s important to address these issues quickly to keep your property safe and well-maintained. Our team can help with debris removal, tree trimming, and full yard cleanups so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor space.

2. Overseeding Season is Here

September marks the beginning of prime winter grass overseeding season in the East Valley. If you want a lush, green lawn this winter, now is the time to start planning.

Timing: The overseeding window runs through all of October.

Preparation: Getting your yard ready early ensures a strong, healthy winter lawn.

Professional help: Overseeding can be tricky if you’ve never done it before, but our experts know the process inside and out.

Don’t wait too long! Schedules fill quickly during overseeding season, so be sure to book your service before it’s too late.

3. Fall Planting: Start Planning Now

Summer in Arizona is tough on plants, and many homeowners find that some of their landscaping didn’t make it through the heat. September is the perfect time to start planning for fall planting.

When to plant: The second half of September is safe for hardier plants, but most new additions should wait until the temperatures cool down a bit more.

Recommended hardy plants for late September:

• Little Ollies (evergreen shrubs, great for hedges)
• Little John Bottlebrush (compact flowering shrub with red blooms)
• Rosemary bushes (drought-tolerant and fragrant)

Whether you’re replacing plants that didn’t survive the summer or adding new greenery to refresh your landscape, a little planning now goes a long way toward a vibrant fall yard.
