Essential Winter Landscaping Tips
1. Shield Your Plants from Harsh Winter Elements
- Mulch for Insulation: Apply a thick layer of mulch around plants to protect roots from temperature fluctuations and retain essential soil moisture.
- Wrap Delicate Shrubs: Use burlap to shield trees and shrubs from frost and drying winds, especially evergreens that can lose moisture during winter.
2. Winterize Your Lawn
- Lawn Aeration: Aerate the lawn before the ground freezes to improve nutrient absorption and water flow.
- Seasonal Fertilizer: Apply a winter-specific fertilizer that strengthens grass roots and prepares them for spring growth.
3. Clean Up Your Property
- Debris Removal: Clear away fallen leaves, branches, and debris to avoid mold growth and attract pests.
- Snow Management: Keep snow from piling around plants and structures to prevent root suffocation and structural damage.
4. Plan Ahead for Spring Landscaping Projects
- Design New Features: Use the slower winter months to plan garden expansions, add patios, or upgrade walkways.
- Choose Spring Plantings: Work with landscaping professionals to select vibrant plants and flowers that will flourish in your environment.
