Why Fall is the Best Time for Planting in Nassau and Suffolk County

When most people think about landscaping, they picture springtime- flowers blooming and lawns turning green. But did you know that fall is actually the best season for planting on Long Island.

At Maroldo & Son Outdoor Services, we always recommend fall as the perfect time to add trees, shrubs, and seasonal color to your property. Heres why:

• Cooler weather= Happier plants

  In the fall the soil stays warm while the air cools the plants down, giving the plants the ideal environment to settle in before winter.

  
  

• Stronger Root Systems

  Planting in fall allows shrubs and trees to focus on root growth instead of pushing out leaves and flowers. by the time spring arrives your plants will be stronger, healthier and ready to thrive.

  
  

• Less watering needed

  With cooler temperatures and more natural rainfall, your plants wont need as much supplemental watering.
