1. Remove Fallen Leaves and Debris
Accumulated leaves and debris can suffocate your grass and promote mold growth. Routine leaf blowing and cleanup services are essential to maintain proper airflow and sunlight exposure for your lawn. Regular maintenance not only enhances your yard’s appearance but also supports healthy growth.
2. Aerate and Fertilize Before Freezing Temperatures
If you haven’t already, aerate your lawn before the first hard freeze. Aeration helps improve soil compaction and allows nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. Follow this with a winter-specific fertilizer to strengthen your grass and prepare it for dormancy.
3. Trim Trees and Shrubs
Winter is an ideal time to prune trees and shrubs, as it helps prevent damage from ice storms and heavy snow. Hazardous tree removal and professional pruning services can reduce the risk of falling branches that could harm your property or loved ones.
4. Apply Mulch for Added Protection
Adding a layer of mulch to flower beds and around tree bases provides insulation and moisture retention during colder months. Mulch also improves soil health and keeps your landscape looking neat and festive for the holidays.
5. Inspect for Pests and Diseases
Winter doesn’t stop pests or diseases that can harm your trees and shrubs. Routine inspections and disease control treatments ensure your plants remain healthy year-round. Addressing these issues early can save your landscape from long-term damage.
6. Plan for Spring Landscaping
Use the winter months to plan your spring landscape design. Consider scheduling services like sod installation, flower bed design, or irrigation system upgrades to get ahead before the busy season arrives.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure your lawn and landscape stay healthy and beautiful throughout the winter.
