Easy Ways to Prepare Your Landscape Before Winter
Prepare Your Lawn
Raking leaves and removing debris may seem cumbersome and superfluous, but the future of your lawn depends on this preemptive work. Excess foliage and vegetation left on the surface can smother your lawn and stunt growth or kill the grass altogether. If you don't have the time for regular lawn care and maintenance, call Wise Oak to schedule landscape maintenance services.
Thank You Very Mulch
Applying adequate amounts of mulch – about a 2-inch layer – around trees and plants creates added protection prior to winter’s arrival. This process helps mitigate erosion, prevent water loss, and maintain consistent soil temperatures around the roots. Our residential and commercial landscape maintenance assistance is happy to complete this project along with an assortment of others to ready your property for the colder weather.
Protect Trees and Shrubs
The build-up of snow and ice poses a continual threat throughout the winter and can cause damage to trees and plants on your property. Branches are susceptible to breaking and prone to disease if they accumulate too much snow or ice throughout the season. Remove feeble limbs that may break and gently brush snow accumulation after storms to prevent damage to your landscape during storms.
