Tips for planning your fall landscape projects

LSU AgCenter’s Heather Kirk-Ballard shares how summertime is a great time to prepare for and plan out any large landscape projects you have for the fall.

Hot summer temperatures are not conducive to outdoor work on big landscape projects, but there is something you can do. LSU AgCenter‘s Heather Kirk-Ballard explains how it is a good time to plan your fall landscape, from the comfort of your home.

Summer days are a great time to sit back and enjoy your garden, but they are also a great time to plan your fall garden. Now is a great time to purchase your cool-season vegetable seeds: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, leafy greens, and kale.

However, do not start big projects like redoing your landscape in the hotter months. Plan out your projects during the summer so that, come fall, you can plant your trees and shrubs in a preferred climate. It is also a good idea to work with a licensed landscaper.
