When planning your Halloween and winter travel, don’t forget to savor this day’s fun before it’s gone.
Autumn is now ripe. It’s a great weekend to rake leaves and curl up with an interesting book and a warm drink. Here are seven activities you can do this weekend, including watching monarch butterflies and organizing trick-or-treaters.
Try using fallen leaves.
Do you see beautiful fall foliage outside your door? Before raking and packaging, consider other uses for the leaves. They will make a good mulch for your lawn or garden. Or, if you have more leaves left on the tree than on the ground, you can cut off a bunch and take them indoors to display for longer.
Plan a winter trip.
The chill in the air will remind you to book that winter vacation you’ve been thinking about. Accommodation in popular destinations fills up early for holiday travel, so it’s a good idea to book early.
Not planning a big trip? Instead, plan a fun weekend getaway with a calendar and a glass of warm cider.
Get inspired with our new design.
Peruse the shelves of your local bookstore and take home a new book for your coffee table. Looking for a recommendation? is perfect for curling up on a chilly fall afternoon.
Add warm, cozy layers and blinking lights.
Add some fall warmth and coziness to your living room with candles, super-soft blankets, and fluffy pillows. Place a thick blanket on the bed, turn on the twinkling lights, and place a bowl of apples and nuts in the shell. It doesn’t take much effort and your house will soon feel like it’s falling apart.
Help storm victims.
Hearing news reports about natural disasters can make people who were not affected feel powerless to help. But the truth is that any help, even a small amount, is greatly needed and appreciated. If you decide to donate money, make sure you are donating to a legitimate relief organization.
Say hello to the migrating monarchs.
Every fall, monarch butterflies return to the same overwintering sites. Monarch butterflies from the eastern seaboard of the United States migrate to Mexico, while those west of the Rockies return to the California coast. This month, those following migratory routes may be able to spot monarchs migrating to warmer climates.
Get ready for Halloween.
Sweet corn? Fake spider web? Check and confirm. If you plan on handing out candy or hosting a party on Halloween night, this weekend is a great time to stock up on supplies.

Todd Wilhelm2024-10-01Had sod installed at my house in Amherst. Job done very quickly and well. Highly recommended. Will be using them again for spring 2025 project.
Md Mia2024-09-27RDK Tree Service removed a large maple by the power lines. It was definitely not a easy job. They did the job safely and did it rather quickly. I will definitely recommend them for your tree services.
Bike Lover2024-09-27Residing in Buffalo NY, and needed to remove a large tree in the backyard and front yard. The crew did a fantastic job with removing it along with the stump. We are so impressed. Thank you RDK!
selvachandran saravanan2024-09-25Did a job here in my rental property in Amherst of removing two 60-70ft pine trees with stump removal and prepped an area for parking. RDK Landscaping is the one you should go to with your tree and landscaping/hardscaping needs. They are just the best overall!!
jackary Rootis2024-09-24I highly recommend them. Great crew, Super easy to work with. They’re doing a great job out here in East Amherst. Not only did I use them, but my neighbor and their son did as well and we couldn’t be happier.
DIANE Abram: Toot-Toot Daycare2024-09-21I hope these pictures speak for itself. I had called couple of companies to my property in Northampton, Buffalo, but only RDK Landscaping had come out so quick to give a quote for a project we started and couldn’t finish. They were so quick, efficient and had completed the project in about 2 days. They did a beautiful job, and answered all my questions throughout the entire process. I am so very thrilled about the results and could not recommend more! They are doing wonderful projects.
Dan Duggan2024-09-19RDK Landscaping did an amazing job! We had 8 dead ash trees at our property in Clarence that needed to be taken down given their proximity to the house and garage, in addition to two trees close to the power lines. I was very impressed with how quickly Roy and his team responded, came out to the property and got the job done. I would highly recommend them!
Andres Martinez2024-09-14Everybody at RDK Landscaping was a pleasure to deal with, we had a big project with them to clear up some really overgrown gardens beds around our garage, they went above and beyond making our space useable again. Once the project was complete they made sure to clean everything up and even cleared some weeds we had on our driveway that we hadn’t even mention to them. Can’t recommend them enough and will be calling them first for any future landscaping projects.
Esther Guess2024-09-12The guys were quick and effective at getting all that ivy down. Great work!
