As the crisp autumn air gives way to winter’s chill, your landscape requires thoughtful preparation to endure the cold months ahead. Priority Landscape is here to ensure your outdoor space stays protected and primed for a vibrant spring. By taking proactive steps now, you can safeguard your property from frost damage and keep it looking pristine all season long.

Why Winter Landscape Preparation Is Crucial

Winter weather can wreak havoc on your landscaping. Freezing temperatures, ice, and snow can damage plants, erode soil, and weaken structures if left unaddressed. With proper pre-winter garden care, you can:

  • Protect Plants from Harsh Conditions: Frost and freezing temperatures are no match for proper insulation and covering.
  • Preserve Lawn and Soil Health: Prevent erosion, compaction, and root damage with a few smart strategies.
  • Reduce Spring Workload: A well-maintained winter landscape sets the stage for easy spring upkeep.

When you invest in winter preparation, you’re also investing in a lush, thriving property come springtime.

Must-Know Tips for Winterizing Your Landscape

Protecting your landscape during winter doesn’t have to be daunting. Here are some essential steps to prepare your plants, lawn, and soil for the season:

Insulate with Mulch

Add a thick layer of mulch around the base of shrubs, flower beds, and trees. Mulch acts as a natural insulator, stabilizing soil temperature and preventing moisture loss. Bonus: it enriches the soil for the growing season ahead.

Cover Delicate Plants

Frost-sensitive plants, such as evergreens and perennials, benefit greatly from extra protection. Use burlap, frost blankets, or plant covers to shield them from icy winds and freezing temperatures.

Prune for Strength

Winter storms can take a toll on your landscape. Prune dead or weak branches from trees and shrubs to reduce the risk of breakage from snow or ice accumulation.

Pre-Winter Garden and Lawn Care

A thriving spring landscape starts with proper winter care. Follow these additional tips to prepare your outdoor space:

  • Clear Debris: Remove leaves, sticks, and other debris from your lawn to prevent suffocation and mold growth.
  • Winterize Your Irrigation System: Drain and shut off irrigation systems to avoid pipe damage caused by freezing temperatures.
  • Enrich Garden Beds: Clean out annual plants and mix in compost to nourish the soil during its dormant period.

By completing these tasks, your landscape will remain healthy and ready to burst back to life when winter thaws.
