5 Fall Landscaping Tips to Prepare Your Yard for Winter
Keep Your Outdoor Spaces Healthy Through the Colder Months
Fall is one of the most important seasons for yard care. The steps you take now set the foundation for a healthy, vibrant landscape in the spring. Here are five tips from Snow’s Landscape & Nursery to help you prepare your property before winter arrives.
Adding a fresh layer of mulch insulates plant roots against cold temperatures and helps retain moisture in the soil. It also gives your beds a clean, finished look heading into winter.
Cooler temperatures make fall the perfect time to aerate compacted soil and overseed thin patches. These steps strengthen root systems and encourage thicker, healthier grass in the spring.
Trimming away dead or diseased branches reduces the risk of damage from heavy snow and ice. Proper pruning also promotes healthier growth when plants come out of dormancy.
Seasonal blooms like mums, pansies, and ornamental cabbage bring color to your yard even as temperatures drop. These plants thrive in cooler weather and brighten your outdoor space.
Fallen leaves may look pretty, but if left on the ground they can suffocate grass and invite pests. Rake them regularly and consider adding them to your compost pile for a natural soil booster.
