Why November is the Most Important Month for Your Naples Landscape
Summer in Southwest Florida is brutal. Heavy rains, intense heat, and prolific growth stress irrigation systems, encourage pests, and can leave lawns and gardens in a weakened state. November's cooler, drier weather provides the perfect window to correct summer damage and set your landscape up for a flawless winter and spring.
Project 1: The Critical Irrigation System Audit
Your irrigation system is your landscape's lifeline. Summer storms can cause leaks, misaligned heads, and controller malfunctions that waste thousands of gallons of water and drown or starve your plants.
What to Do:
Check for Leaks: Look for soggy spots or overly green, lush areas in the lawn, which often indicate an underground leak.
Test Each Zone: Run each zone manually. Look for broken, sunken, or clogged sprinkler heads.
Adjust the Timer: Reduce watering frequency and duration to match the cooler, drier weather. Pro Tip: Reset your controller to comply with Collier County's year-round water conservation measures.
Why Call a Pro? We use electronic leak detection to find hidden leaks without destructive digging. Our smart controller installation services automatically adjust watering based on real-time weather data, ensuring perfect efficiency.
Project 2: Pest & Fungus Prevention Treatment
Summer humidity is a breeding ground for destructive pests like chinch bugs, scale, and fungal diseases like brown patch. These problems won't go away on their own.
What to Do:
Inspect for Damage: Look for irregular yellow or brown patches in the grass (chinch bugs) or discolored, spotted leaves on shrubs (fungus/scale).
Clear Debris: Remove fallen leaves and decaying plant matter from beds to eliminate hiding spots for pests and fungi.
Why Call a Pro? Misdiagnosis leads to wasted money and damage. We identify the exact pest or disease and apply targeted, professional-grade treatments to eradicate the problem and prevent recurrence.
Project 3: Replenish Pine Straw & Mulch
Summer rains break down mulch and wash away pine straw, leaving soil exposed to weeds and moisture loss.
What to Do:
Refresh Beds: Apply a fresh 2-3 inch layer of pine straw or high-quality mulch to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and give your landscape a crisp, manicured look.
Edge Beds: Redefine the edges between your beds and lawn for a instant "clean-up" effect.
Why Call a Pro? We offer premium, long-needle pine straw that lasts longer and looks better. Our professional installation ensures perfect depth and coverage, preventing wash-out and maximizing weed control.
Project 4: Palm Tree & Shrub TLC
Palms are the crown jewels of Naples landscapes. Summer stress can cause nutrient deficiencies and pest infestations.
What to Do:
Fertilize Palms: Use a specialized palm fertilizer that contains magnesium, manganese, and potassium to prevent yellowing (frizzle top).
Prune Strategically: Only remove completely brown fronds and old seed pods. Never "hurricane cut" palms, as this severely damages them.
Why Call a Pro? Our deep-root fertilization service delivers nutrients directly to the root zone for maximum absorption. Our certified arborists prune correctly to maintain health and structural integrity.
Project 5: Prepare for Seasonal Color
November is the ideal time to plant winter annuals for vibrant color that lasts through spring.
What to Do:
Choose the Right Plants: Opt for cool-season annuals like petunias, pansies, and snapdragons that thrive in Naples' winters.
Amend the Soil: Add compost to planting beds to provide nutrients for new flowers.
Why Call a Pro? We design and install stunning seasonal color displays that complement your home's architecture and provide maximum impact. We handle everything from design to installation and maintenance.
