At Sundrop Gardens Landscaping, we understand that a thriving garden needs care year-round, especially during the harsh winter. Proper protection ensures your flower and garden beds remain healthy and ready to burst into life come spring. Here are our expert tips on winterizing your garden and how we can assist you in safeguarding your landscape.
Why Winterizing Matters
Start by removing any dead or diseased plant material from your garden beds. Pruning back perennials and cutting down annuals prevents pests and diseases from overwintering in your garden. Sundrop Gardens can provide professional cleanup services to ensure your garden is neat and disease-free. A thick layer of mulch is essential for insulating your plants' roots and protecting them from temperature fluctuations. Apply 3-4 inches of organic mulch, such as wood chips or straw, around your plants. Our team can expertly apply mulch to provide optimal protection while enhancing the aesthetic of your beds. Some plants require extra protection from frost and harsh winds. Use burlap, frost blankets, or cloches to shield delicate perennials and young shrubs.
Winter Lawn Care
Before the ground freezes, give your garden a deep watering. This helps your plants stay hydrated and reduces the risk of root damage. Sundrop Gardens can set up winter watering schedules to ensure your garden receives the moisture it needs without overdoing it. Winter is also a crucial time for lawn maintenance. Apply a winterizing fertilizer to strengthen your grassroots and prepare them for the cold season. Sundrop Gardens can provide tailored lawn care treatments to keep your grass healthy and resilient. Winter can invite unwanted visitors, such as rodents and pests, seeking shelter in your garden. Sundrop Gardens offers solutions to keep your garden beds safe and undisturbed throughout the winter.
Schedule Your Landscaping
Regular garden inspections are vital for detecting frost damage or pest infestations early. Sundrop Gardens provides ongoing maintenance plans to promptly monitor and address problems, ensuring your garden remains in top condition. At Sundrop Gardens Landscaping, we take pride in helping you protect your garden investment all year round.
