Prep and Protect Your Landscape for Winter; Then Show off Holiday Decorations!

Many homeowners don't like seeing the obvious changes in their yards. However, after the fall begins, landscapes start to turn brown. Chlorophyll breaks down, leaves drop, and grass goes dormant. They figure there's nothing you can do but allow Mother Nature to take its course. However, landscape experts say that your property can be winterized for the season in several ways. You can still make your property a handsome landscape by the time the holidays roll around and you begin your decorating process. Creating a Tidy Appearance When you hire a professional landscaping team to winterize your property, they will conduct several tasks. For example, debris and leaf removal will be performed to maintain a clean and accessible area. Next, these pros will prune and trim your shrubs and trees to prepare them for the cold season ahead, when these large living plants head into dormancy. The soil will also be prepared around your trees and shrubs to withstand the colder temperatures, including snow and ice that could fall throughout the winter season. Mulch will be added to insulate your plants' roots. Every homeowner wants a lush green lawn when spring arrives, and your landscaping team can apply winter fertilizer to keep your grass healthy throughout a harsh winter. Enhancing Your Evergreens Boxwood, holly, arborvitae, spruce, juniper, pine and even rhododendrons have the star power all winter long. If you have any of these evergreen plants on your property, you'll probably notice that they retain their amazing structures and beautiful green color. Evergreens are considered "cold-resistant" plants and can stand up to snow and ice. Their natural greenery makes decorating for the holidays extra fun! Adorn them with pretty lights, pinecones, and Christmas ornaments. Choose plants that can add pops of color to your "winter garden," including Red Osier Dogwood, Winterberry, Switchgrass and Echinacea. These colorful plants look lovely draped in ice. Managing Your Hardscape Features Winterizing your landscape is key, but don't forget the accompanying hardscape features around your property. Pathways, driveways, retaining walls and patios matter, too, and can be incorporated into your holiday decorating plans. Ensure your property is safe and accessible when Mother Nature tosses snow and ice your way. Landscape companies can perform ready snow removal and special de-icing treatments that keep surfaces smooth and safe for foot and vehicle travel. Your hardscape features can be decorated with lights, wreaths, garland and more. Are You Ready to Design Your Own Winter Wonderland? Holiday Christmas lights
