"October Unearthed: Sizzling Landscape Hacks for Hot Springs Village!"

Landscape Maintenance Tips for October in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas (Zone 7B) 🍂🌿

Ah, October in Hot Springs Village! As the leaves begin their brilliant dance of colors 🍁 and the temperatures dip just enough to enjoy a warm cup of cocoa ☕, it's essential to give your landscape a little autumnal TLC. Here are some top tips for our friends in Zone 7B:

1. Fallen Leaves are Gold 🍂: Don’t let those leaves go to waste! Instead of bagging and tossing them, use them as a natural mulch or compost them. They’re excellent for retaining moisture and enriching your soil.

2. Overseed the Lawn 🌱: This is prime time to overseed cool-season grasses. It'll give your lawn a lush green look as we head into spring.

3. Plant Fall Bulbs 🌷: Dreaming of spring tulips and daffodils? October is the perfect month to get those bulbs in the ground.

4. Hydration Station 💧: While we're heading into cooler months, don't forget to water! Plants still need adequate hydration, especially if we’re having a dry spell.

5. Pruning Time ✂️: Remove dead or diseased branches from trees and shrubs. But remember, for most plants, a more extensive pruning is best left for late winter.

6. Pest Patrol 🐛: Keep an eye out for pests. As the temperature drops, many critters might seek shelter in your garden. A preventative measure now can save a lot of headaches in the spring.
