Fall Checklist
 
It's very important to prepare your landscape for the cold winter months, and we've made it easy with this simple checklist.
  • Aeration - fall is the perfect time to aerate your lawn.  It helps to reduce thatch, loosens up compacted soils, and makes it easier for nutrients and water to reach the roots of your turf.

  • Tree Wrap - it's always a good idea to use a cloth tree wrap to cover the trunk of your new (or young) trees.  This will help protect your trees from frost and scald damage, and especially from animal damage.

  • Mulching - remember to check the mulch around your plants this fall; make sure there is a good 2-3" layer surrounding the base of your plants.  This will help insulate the roots and protect them from the chill of winter.

  • Wilt-Pruf - all evergreens in your landscape will benefit from this product.  Wilt-Pruf is a ready-to-use spray that helps lock the moisture into the foliage of your evergreens.  This will help prevent winter burn, which is a common problem with many evergreens, especially arborvitae.

  • Liquid Fence - protect your trees, shrubs, and perennials from the deer this fall and winter by spraying this ready-to-use product around your plants.

And remember, fall is a great time to plant most trees, shrubs and perennials...the cooler weather means less water and less transplant stress!  So be sure to take advantage of our great plant sales this fall!

 

 
9/11 Memorial In Urbandale

Iowa Outdoor Products is proud to be a part of the Tri-City 9/11 Memorial located at the Urbandale Fire Station #42. Our crews took great pride in constructing the memorial, which was dedicated on October 16th. The Tri-Ctiy 9/11 Memorial is a tribute to the emergency responders that lost their lives on September 11, 2001.  The focal point of the memorial is a four-foot, 700-pound piece of steel from the twin towers.
