We use Parker's longer fall to do the work carefully instead of rushing before the first storm.
We balance a tidy look with leaving some habitat and winter interest in the beds.
Young trees and tender plants get protection before deer and cold become a problem.
First freezes in Parker often arrive later than they do up the Divide, which leaves time for careful cleanup and planting. We schedule visits from late September into November, adjusting for each year’s weather so nothing gets rushed.
Fall is planting time for tulips, daffodils, crocus, and garlic. Getting them in while the soil is still soft means a colorful spring and a summer harvest.
Bucks rub antlers on young trunks in fall, especially near open space around The Pinery and Hilltop. A simple guard prevents serious bark damage.
Coneflowers, grasses, and sedum add winter interest and feed birds, so we leave some in place.
Pair fall prep with leaf and debris removal and late winter pruning. Everything else is on our Parker garden care page.
We look at your beds together, decide what to cut and what to leave, and plan any bulb or garlic planting.
The crew clears vegetable beds and annuals, cuts back floppy perennials, plants bulbs, and installs guards.
Leaves are managed, mulch is touched up, and debris is hauled away so the garden goes into winter looking neat.
