25% of Proceeds Will Go to Austin Wildlife Rescue
In November
At YardDoc, we believe in caring for every part of our environment, from the properties we service to the wildlife that shares our space. This November, 25% of the proceeds from all critter relocations will go directly to Austin Wildlife Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to rehabilitating and releasing orphaned, injured, and sick wild animals across Central Texas. Together, we can help protect Austin’s wildlife!
PLAN YOUR WINTER FLOWERS NOW
Now is a good time to plant some winter color. If you want to keep color in your garden over the colder months, then let us help design a solution for you!
YOUR PLANTS ALSO FEEL THE COLD
November is a great month to mulch your plants to help protect their root systems from the freezing conditions.
LAWN WEED TREATMENTS
Our customized formulas will get rid of all weed types, covering grassy and broadleaf weeds and sedges.
We can do pre-emergent weed treatments, spot treatments as needed, or for the best solution please ask about our Lawn Care Program that boosts the health of your lawn and manages weeds over the course of the year.
REDUCE IRRIGATION RUN TIMES
Irrigation run times should be reduced to winter mode at this stage and always only operating in the mornings. Over the winter, watering frequency can be reduced considerably, down to once a month, depending on rainfall and existing plant types. Now would be a good time to install freeze protection on your irrigation system if you don’t have that already.
This is a safe time of year to get your trees trimmed and cleaned up. Please remember that from February 1st to June 1st, trimming of Live Oaks is not recommended due to the heightened risk of Oak Wilt!
Fall is the best time to plant trees as the approaching moderate weather allows the tree time to establish its roots before the summer heat.
REDUCE POOL FILTRATION TIMES
Pool filtration run times can be reduced to 8 hours per day. Once the average water temperature drops below 65 degrees, we recommend using liquid chlorine, which we do for pools we manage. This will help reduce stabilizer levels in the pool that build up over the year with the use of chlorine tablets.
LEAVES WILL FALL
Pay attention to the cleaning of your pool skimmer baskets when the leaves come down! Daily cleaning will help prevent clogged baskets, starving the pool motors of water, which causes overheating and equipment damage.
SAVE YOUR POOL FROM A FREEZE
Now would be a good time to test your pool system freeze protection. If all your pool equipment turns on automatically when temperatures get close to freezing, then your system is probably working as designed, and this will reduce the likelihood of burst pipes or equipment damage due to freezing.
Let us know what we can do to help you take care of everything outside, or tell us how we can improve our yard services. And if you are so kind as to recommend our services, and we sign up a new customer, we give you an equivalent MONTH’S FREE SERVICE!
