Landscaping Insights: Fall and Frost Edition

At Stewart Handyman LLC, we take pride in enhancing the Treasure Valley with landscaping expertise and want to address frost concerns and optimal timing for sodding and planting flowers and trees. These are common requests from clients that can elevate outdoor spaces.

Frost Concerns: Boise’s frosty winters can impact freshly laid sod. To ensure resilience, we complete sodding before the first frost, allowing roots to establish. Adequate watering and fall care are crucial to withstand frost.

Fall Sodding Timing: Complete sodding by early to mid-fall, enabling grass to establish robust roots before winter. Late fall sodding limits root development, affecting spring health and appearance.

Spring Sodding Timing: Spring offers ideal conditions for sodding. As the ground thaws in late March or early April, lay sod. Spring moisture aids grass establishment, creating a lush lawn.

Planting Flowers and Trees: Protect delicate plants from frost with fabric or mulch. Boise’s last frost, around mid-May, marks safe planting for tender flowers and trees. Spring is perfect for vibrant, frost-resistant blooms.
