🍂 Cold Weather is Coming — Prepare Your Landscape, Alpharetta!

Don’t let the cold catch your landscape off guard! With temperatures expected to dip below freezing next week in Alpharetta, now’s the time to prep your yard for fall.

Here are a few quick tips from Hannah Outdoor Designs to help protect your investment and keep your property looking its best:

💧 1. Adjust Your Irrigation Timer

Freezing temperatures can damage your irrigation system if it’s still running. We recommend turning your irrigation off early next week to prevent frozen lines and cracked heads. During fall, set your timer to run 1–2 days per week with shorter watering cycles—your lawn and plants simply don’t need as much water this time of year.

🚰 2. Disconnect Garden Hoses

Before the first freeze, unhook your hoses from outdoor spigots. Leaving them attached can cause water to freeze, expand, and crack either the hose or the faucet itself. We also recommend covering the spigot with an insulated cover. A quick five-minute task now can save you from costly repairs later!

💡 3. Adjust Outdoor Lighting

Shorter days mean more darkness—and it’s the perfect time to check your outdoor lighting schedule. Make sure your path lights, spotlights, and accent fixtures come on earlier to keep your home safe, warm, and inviting all season long.

🍁 Bonus Tip: Keep Drains Clear

Falling leaves can quickly clog catch basins, channel drains, and grates, leading to standing water or flooding. Clear out debris regularly to keep everything flowing properly.

Fall is also the perfect time to plan your next outdoor upgrade. Whether it’s a retaining wall, fire pit, or patio extension, our team can help you create a space you’ll enjoy year-round.
