At Home Tips for Winter Landscaping

Dec 27, 2021

Winter is at our doorstep. Leaves have fallen and turned brown. Vibrant autumn colors fade into gray. It’s time for your winter landscape plan to kick in. Caring for your landscape in winter will help it look better when spring comes around. Learn how to keep your yard looking good in winter.

Clean Up Your Yard

Keep your lawn clean of leaves and debris. This will allow your lawn to stay as healthy as possible during cold months. This is also a suitable time to trim trees and shrubbery. Remove any dead plants as well.

Spread Mulch

Spreading mulch around vulnerable plants helps protect their root structure from frost damage. Mulch allows water to drain into the soil better and keeps the base root structure from freezing. Fresh mulch also looks great and provides much-needed color to your yard.

Construct Borders To Liven Your Landscape

By adding borders like natural stone or brick barriers, you’ll add a clean look to your yard. Borders also differentiate various parts of your yard, which adds a cleaner look to it. Borders around flower beds can be visible from the street and stand out. They also create order and symmetry throughout your yard.

Plan Ahead to Spring

Plan and determine what you want to do. By preparing now, you’ll make sure your yard looks good next season. Aerate your lawn so it has proper drainage to ensure the soil is ready for spring. Keeping your lawn clear of leaves and debris will also allow it to thrive and better absorb water. If you’re adding new plants to your landscape, make sure they’ll fit in and thrive in your landscape.

Summary

Follow these tips to keep your yard looking healthy year-round. Create landscapes and living spaces for enjoyment to last a lifetime. Please contact Cashman Landscape at office@cashmanlandscape.com for more information.

Most words beginning with the prefix over- carry a negative connotation; they tend to refer to doing too much of something. Overseeding, though, is not at all a bad thing. In fact, it’s a critical component of a healthy lawn. Also known as reseeding, overseeding is planting new seeds over existing grass. It results in new growth that replenishes and thickens the lawn. In turn, healthy lawns with thick grass are more resistant to weeds and insect pests.
