Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Refresh Your Landscape
Many people think spring is the main planting season, but in Murrells Inlet and Myrtle Beach, fall is just as important. The soil is still warm, but the air is cooler, giving plants an ideal environment to establish roots before winter. This makes it a great time to plant evergreens, shrubs, and palms that will carry your yard through the colder months and into next spring. It’s also the time to refresh mulch and rock bedding. Mulch acts as a protective blanket, keeping soil temperatures stable and retaining moisture. Rock provides permanent drainage solutions that help prevent erosion during heavy coastal rains. Adding fresh supplies now means your plants enter winter healthy and ready to thrive.Supplies to Stock Up On Before Winter
At C-Scapes, we provide all the landscape supplies you need for seasonal preparation. Some essentials include:- Mulch – Adds a clean, finished look while protecting plant roots. We carry multiple varieties to match your style.

Planting Ideas for Fall and Winter
When refreshing your yard at the end of the season, it’s smart to focus on plants that bring color, texture, and life throughout the cooler months. Some of the top recommendations from our team include:- Evergreen Shrubs – Boxwoods, hollies, and ligustrums provide privacy and structure.
- Ornamental Grasses – Hardy and low-maintenance, they add movement and interest to beds.
