At the end of fall, your property should be cleaned and prepared for the winter season. Your lawn, shrubs, trees, flower beds, and hedges all require proper care before cold weather sets in.
We begin by inspecting your property to assess the condition of all your plants and determine which services are needed. Next, our team performs a thorough cleanup by removing fallen leaves, branches, weeds, and other debris.
This step is especially important because leaves left on the lawn throughout the winter can promote mold growth and lawn diseases while trapped beneath the snow for several months.
Next, we prepare your lawn for winter. A final mowing is often performed to prevent the grass from becoming too long before snowfall. A fall fertilizer may also be applied to strengthen the root system and encourage healthy growth in the spring.
Shrubs, hedges, and certain perennials are pruned when necessary to remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches. However, many plants should not be heavily pruned in the fall, as this may encourage new growth that can be damaged by freezing temperatures.
Another important part of our winter yard preparation service is applying mulch to protect more delicate plants. We can also wrap certain shrubs, rose bushes, and young trees with protective winter fabric to reduce damage caused by cold temperatures, wind, and snow.
Flower beds are cleaned and prepared for winter. A fresh layer of mulch may be added to help maintain a more stable soil temperature while protecting plant roots throughout the winter season.
Garden hoses are drained and stored, while irrigation systems are blown out to prevent freezing and costly damage.
With our winter yard preparation service, your plants will be ready to thrive when spring arrives, and you'll have much less cleanup to do once the snow melts.
