Let’s Focus on Fall – Keep Your Eye on the Ball

The seasons are fighting for control — one day frost, the next day 80° — and your landscape is stuck in the middle. In this episode, Coach Matt talks about how to stay grounded and keep your focus through the seasonal chaos.

You’ll learn: • How to protect your plants from wild temperature swings • Why turf care still matters this time of year • How to prep your irrigation and lighting before the freeze • Why small, regular maintenance tasks keep “landscape demons” away

🧠 Bonus Tip: Don’t head into fall blind — grab the Seasonal Landscaping Checklist from the Yard Coach website. It’s a simple, powerful guide to help DIYers like you stay ahead of what your yard really needs this season.
