Many homeowners think every leaf needs to go, but leaving a few in place can actually help your landscape. 🍂

Mulching leaves doesn’t mean spreading wood mulch across your lawn. It means running a mower over dry leaves to chop them into small pieces that break down naturally. A thin layer of shredded leaves can help feed the soil and support pollinators through winter.

Just be sure to clear thick, wet piles from turf and curbs, since those can block sunlight, hold moisture, and lead to bare spots.

A balanced approach keeps your lawn healthy, your soil enriched, and your cleanup a little easier this fall. ✅

Hungry deer are already on the move in New Jersey. 🦌 This time of year, they can strip leaves, buds, and bark from your shrubs and evergreens, leaving your property looking rough and chewed up.

A few ways to keep your trees and plants safe this fall:
🧴 Refresh repellents often so they actually work, or consider getting on a deer repellent program to help deter feeding
🚧 Fence or net areas where deer pressure is heavy

A few simple steps now can help your trees, shrubs, and plants hold their shape and color through the season. 🍂

Aeration and seeding in action. 🌱 Aeration pulls small plugs of soil from the ground, reducing compaction and opening pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Pairing it with seeding gives new grass the best chance to establish, fill in thin spots, and build a stronger, greener lawn for next year.

The seeding window is rapidly closing, but we’ll continue aerating right up until the first frost. Call Aspen Tree and Turf at (732) 928-5747 to get on the schedule before the season wraps up!

Fall is the most important time to feed your lawn. 🍂 While the grass isn’t growing as quickly on top, the roots are busy getting stronger underneath. A fall fertilizer application helps your turf recover from summer, prepare for winter, and come back greener in spring.

Read more about why fall fertilization makes such a difference in our latest post.

Fertilizing in fall helps lawns recover from summer stress, prepare for winter, and bounce back stronger in spring.

NOW is the perfect time to aerate your lawn. Soil is still warm. Nights are cooler. Conditions are just right for core aeration to make the biggest impact. 🔥

Aeration isn’t just an add-on. It’s one of the most important things you can do for your lawn, especially after a long summer of heat, foot traffic, and heavy mower use.

What it does:
✅ Breaks up compacted soil
✅ Improves water and nutrient flow
✅ Helps roots grow deeper and stronger
✅ Reduces runoff and puddling
✅ Prepares your lawn for winter and a stronger spring

Stop putting it off. Aeration works, and this is the best time to do it.

This native shrub starts showing its colors early. Reds, oranges, and golds often show up all at once, and it holds that color well into the season. You'll spot it before most trees even start turning. 🍂

In the spring, it puts out white bottlebrush blooms that pop before the leaves do. By fall, it's all about the foliage.

Fothergilla doesn't need much. No major pest or disease issues. Handles clay soil. Deer usually leave it alone. Just a solid, low-maintenance plant that earns its spot year after year. It checks all the right boxes for a plant that can handle New Jersey conditions without a lot of extra work:

✔️ Native to New Jersey
✔️ Spring blooms and bold fall color
✔️ Handles tough soils
✔️ Low-maintenance and resilient
