Early fall in Georgia is a great time to spruce up your yard if you want to put your house on the market or just want to refresh the look if it has been on the market for a number of months. Even though spring is typically the time for landscaping, there are a number of ways to beautify scorched summer plant materials before the first frost.

Think of fall as a second chance for planting. Since many areas of the state enjoy a temperate climate, you have many options to choose from to give your curb appeal a big boost.

If you are overwhelmed when you visit your local home center or nursery, devise a rough landscape plan to ensure your yard has a cohesive look rather than a random hodge-podge of plant material.

Don't forget to consider the growing habits of the trees, shrubs and perennial plants you choose. This will affect the long-term appearance of the yard for future owners. Also consider plants that will thrive in your growing zone.

Draw your plan out on a large sheet of paper to show the experts at the nursery. Clearly delineate the shape of beds and the types, sizes and locations of plants you would like. This way you can ask for suggestions if they think there is room for improvement.

Fall is the perfect time in Georgia for planting trees and shrubs. Determine if you want evergreens or deciduous varieties to take advantage of fall color changes.

Prepare for the spring by planting bulbs once the weather has cooled down. You'll be greeted with beautiful, iris, crocus, hyacinths and tulips in a few months. Plant the bulbs then follow with a layer of insulating mulch in a couple of weeks. When warm weather arrives, brush the mulch aside so the expose the soil.

For instant fall color, consider beds of gorgeous mums, asters and anemones. Purchase plants in full bloom to enjoy their rich hues well into early winter.

You never know, your fall landscape makeover may be the one thing that helps sell your house.
