Fall Colours

Fall colours on the landscape and lawn are a wonder to behold. The colours available take on a much larger dimension than the spring and summer colours. There are a few trees that give a mass of colourful blooms. None however, fill the eye's camera screen in the same way that the fall colours of trees can.

The sheer volume of colour in the leaves of a tree are overwhelming. And more so in the autumn. During the time the leaves are green, there is a lot more green around in the other plants, trees and lawns. In the fall, the other plants are less noticeable. Only the evergreens have a presence. The lawn is still green, but is often blanketed by the same palette of fall colours from the fallen leaves.



In some cases, the variation in the colours can create a stunning contrast- red, yellow, green.

The leaves of trees can be a detriment to the lawn in several ways. During the spring and summer, they restrict the amount of sunlight that reaches the lawn. This means we have to resort to special measure to be able to maintain a healthy lawn in the shade.

Once the leaves have decided to leave their lofty heights, they can also be a bit of a nuisance. If they are left on the lawn over the winter they will damage the lawn. That means the leaves must be dealt with somehow.  One way is to rake, rake rake.

Lawns can be an important visual component of a landscape. Maintaining their health is important to keep them looking their best and able to function as efficiently as possible.
