Making fall yard updates with AreA is as easy as 1-2-3
1. Seed. Bare spots around the
lawn may have been bothersome
for most of the summer. Now
is the time to address them.
Temperatures are cooling to a
more adequate level for grassgrowing
and tend to stay pretty
consistent in the fall. Plus,
throughout the winter months,
grass roots will continue to
develop. It could take three-tofive
weeks for desired results, so
be patient. At AreA Landscape
Supply, one can choose from four
seed combination varieties for the
perfect match.
2. Fertilize. Aim for fertilizer
application during the second half
of this month. This will deposit a
dose of “vitamins” into the soil.
Once there, the grass will soak
up the nutrients at a slow — but
steady — pace during the winter.
The result? The lawn will be
greener, faster in spring 2018!
AreA’s fertilizer choices include:
all-purpose, seed starter, four-step
program, etc.
3. Mulch. Organic mulch, such as
premium hardwood varieties, has
benefits year-round, but during
the winter months, it acts as an
insulator. Keep plants warm
during cold and snowy months
with a blanket of mulch. A threeinch
thickness is ideal. Mulches
are available either bagged
or in bulk by the yard. Ask
AreA Landscape Supply about
estimated product coverage.
Interested in more than fall yard
prep? There is still time for patio updates
and installations. AreA’s Outdoor
Idea Center has fireplaces and
fire pit kits on display! Visit inside to
see gas logs, fire glass, mesh screens,
cooking grates and other accessories.
Homeowners attempting outdoor
projects can call or stop into AreA
with their questions. The experienced
sales staff can help estimate
material needed, recommend the best
product and even give a checklist of
steps to follow for installation. The
staff can even recommend a suitable
landscaper or contractor to complete
any project successfully.

table without breaking
the bank.
