Cozy up knowing your home has been swaddled with care. Taking proactive steps now, like winterizing your garden beds and scheduling essential services, is crucial to getting ahead of your spring needs. Don’t miss this closing window of opportunity to ensure your property is primed for a stunning comeback when the warm weather returns.
Here are a few ways to tuck in your leafy friends before hibernation. Leaving your landscape tidy and worry free for the new year.
Your Winter Checklist:
- Winterizing – A MUST for frost sensitive plants! Add mulch or covers for insulating, if needed move tender plants inside. Serious damage can occur if left out in the cold weather, research your local plant hardiness zone if unsure.
-
Cleanups – Leaving debris build up can cause dead spots, welcome insects or even lead to root rot if left at the base of a planting. Start off the new year with a blank slate as we clear away any leaves, debris or dead plants. Additional services include weeding, edging and mulching of garden beds.
- Leaf Removal or Leaf Mulching – Creating a moisture barrier on the soils surface, leaving the leaves where they drop is not an option. Choose whether to have leaves blown off your property, bagged up and removed or mulched. Leaf mulching promotes the added benefit of putting valuable nutrients back into your lawn.
- Mulching – Now nothing beats that smell of fresh mulch in the Spring air but there are many benefits to mulching this time of year as well. Such as insulating by regulating ground temperature, preventing erosion and nutrient loss. Not to mention the reduced risk of heaving; That occurs much more frequently with the constant freezing and rapidly thawing soil.
- Pruning, Shearing & Trimming – Keep your trees and shrubs looking their best, their shape and health ever more apparent against the white backdrop of Winter. Any cuts made need to happen before the plant enters dormancy, so it is best to schedule now.
- Weeding – The biggest mistake of the season is leaving perennial weeds to root over the cold months. Allowing them to propagate and establish a stronger root system. Overgrown perennial weeds will pop back up in Spring like dandelions!
-
Cutback – A great time to cutback any overgrowth. Think about how manageable a ramble bush looks now vs during the throws of green growth. Any project you have been putting off – the backyard closing in on you, the mess of thorns you have been meaning to get rid of – we are on the job!
Your property needs may vary, just remember :
- Don’t wait until Spring – A well maintained garden bed equates to a low maintenance garden. Taking the proactive steps now saves you the headache later.
- Affordable options – We will always work with you and your budget! Save your future self the huge expenses by investing in your property a little bit at a time. Putting off small projects now only creates a larger one to pay for later.
