Winter may seem like a time to take a break from yard work, but it’s actually the perfect time to get ahead on seasonal cleanup and set the stage for a lush, healthy landscape in spring. A little winter prep goes a long way in ensuring your yard emerges vibrant and strong when the warmer months arrive.
Winter Cleanup Tasks for a Healthy Spring Yard:
Clear Out Debris
Leaves, fallen branches, and other debris can smother grass and create mold or pest problems. Removing them now helps prevent lawn damage and allows new growth to flourish in spring.
Prune Trees & Shrubs
Winter is an ideal time to prune for health and aesthetics. Pruning while trees and shrubs are dormant reduces stress on the plants. Proper pruning encourages healthy growth and better blooms when the seasons change.
Protect Your Plants
Adding mulch around the base of trees, shrubs, and flower beds insulates roots from temperature fluctuations and helps retain moisture, giving plants a head start in spring. Remember to loosen compacted mulch and to prevent mulch from piling up around the stems & trunks of the plants.
Check Hardscapes & Drainage
Cold weather can take a toll on patios, walkways, and drainage systems. Inspect for cracks, shifting, or pooling water to address any issues before spring rains arrive.
Prep Your Irrigation System
Late winter is also a great time to plan for any necessary repairs or upgrades to your irrigation system before the growing season begins.
