Fall Cleanup and Decorate

Fall Cleaning Up October 20, 2020

Just as you do a fall clean up around your home, Countryside also does a fall cleanup around our property. Did you ever wonder what happens to the trees, shrubs and plants that are removed from our landscape jobs?

Every so many years, we contract this humungous grinder and frontend loader to grind our 'compost pile'. The bulldozer's bucket can lift and move twelve yards of debris at a time! Click here to see it in action!

What do we do with this freshly ground mulch? No, its not what we sell to our customers. Rather, it is what we use to keep weeds down between our plant rows and greenhouses.

It's not something you see every day, but certainly worth sharing! Look how huge the finished piles are! Thanks to Ashley G., Garden Center Cashier and Kelly O., ICNPro Nursery Sales, for giving us a comparison!

As you clean up your yard for fall, don't forget to add all the pretty fall accents inside and out!

Stop in for shade trees, shrubs, and perennials and finish your landscape projects NOW! The recent winds have blown most of the leaves away so the shape and branching structure is easy to see.

Did you know, you can plant trees and shrubs until the ground freezes? Around here, that typically wont be until the first part of December. These plants have finished growing for the season and will not suffer from transplant shock. Therefore, fall is a great time to plant!

PLANT FALL BULBS!

Now is the time to plant your fall bulbs!

A great addition to every garden. What a delight when the BULBS you PLANT NOW are the first to come up in spring. Before your gardens wake up, tulips, crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths are already sprouting, blooming and providing much needed color after the long, cold, drab winter months.

Give them a jump start. Plant with Bulb Booster so they have a food source as soon as they start to grow.

How big is it?

This year's giant pumpkin weighed in at 420 lbs!

Congratulations to Amber Bishop, who guessed the closest without going over on our Facebook and Instagram pages!

Feel free to share your Jack-O-Lanterns, fall decorations, and Halloween costumes with us on our social outlets!
