This fall has brought excellent conditions for growing grass and planting throughout our yards. Although much of the plentiful rain has fallen on weekends, while not ideal for lawn and landscape work, we are grateful for it. October temperatures were slightly above normal, keeping soil temperatures around 60 degrees and allowing us to use our preferred turf-type tall fescue seed blends through the end of October and into early November.
Lawn Depot Turf Management is working diligently to complete its last regular application for the season, WINTERFEAST fertilizer, which we expect to complete the week after Thanksgiving. With our core aeration work coming to a close, lawns and landscapes are looking awesome. 2026 was a year of extremes climatically. The strong “super” El Niño weather pattern brought us a July that was the warmest on record since 1895 for the contiguous United States and ranked among the top 10 warmest for Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Volatile storms were accompanied by localized flash flooding. A challenge but our program and products persevered. We appreciate your tremendous understanding, loyalty and support as we close out this season. Any of you who would like to consider using our premium Turf Management service for the full annual program in 2027 (or late fall applications this year), are encouraged to either give us a call (215-348-5553) or visit our website (www.lawndepotinc.com) and click on “Request an Estimate.” We’ll evaluate your lawn shortly and get back to you on any services for this year or send out your 2027 proposal just after the New Year. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Lawn Depot’s Garden Center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays until mid-to-late March. We remain open throughout the winter; please check our website for current December through February hours. Before cold weather arrives, there is still plenty to do in your yard and garden. The Garden Center is fully stocked with WINTERFEAST Turf Food and other seasonal essentials. Apply WINTERFEAST by mid-December to encourage gentle greening and strong root and crown development. Fall is also the ideal time to feed perennials, shrubs, and trees with Espoma Organic Holly-tone, Tree-tone, Evergreen-tone, or Plant-tone—now 30% off through November 14th. Browse our Nursery’s end-of-season sale and save 50% on perennials, shrubs, and trees. Have questions?

It’s hard to believe November—and our final newsletter of 2026—has arrived. We sincerely thank both our long-time patrons and those who have recently discovered us for helping The Lawn Depot remain a valued local business. We hope to see you this winter for birding supplies, repellents, plant protection, ice melt, and other seasonal needs. From everyone at The Lawn Depot, we wish you a happy, healthy holiday season!
