October is more than just a season of falling leaves — it’s a crucial time to prepare your outdoor space for winter. In Oklahoma, the mix of rain, wind, and cold can cause soil erosion, plant stress, and damage to retaining walls if not properly maintained.
Begin by clearing fallen leaves, trimming dead branches, and adding mulch to protect roots from frost. Fall is also a great time to fertilize lawns and refresh garden beds. For properties on slopes or with uneven terrain, check your retaining walls for signs of shifting or water buildup. These are early indicators of drainage issues that can worsen over winter.
A well-designed retaining wall not only enhances curb appeal but also prevents soil erosion caused by heavy rains common in Oklahoma’s cooler months. Integrating French drains or weep holes behind retaining walls ensures water flows away efficiently, preserving both soil structure and wall integrity.
