Fresh ears of colorful Indian corn, pumpkins, and potted plants can also add vibrancy to your office.

Fall Landscape Design, Beautiful Results

Beautiful spring lawns and gardens actually start in the fall. Your trusted landscaper in Westchester County can help you design your landscape and prepare it for cold weather with these procedures:

• Fall Aeration– Aeration provides more air, nutrients, water and sunlight to the roots of your grass. This helps create velvety, lush, green grass in the spring and all year long.

• Overseeding- Overseeding in early fall gives the seeds a chance to take root before the first freeze, making grass healthier and more vibrant.

• Mulch Beds for Shrubs and Trees– Adding fresh mulch around your shrubs and trees will insulate the roots, retain moisture, and block out disease during cold months.

Fall Landscape Design

Many trees, shrubs, bulbs, and some flowers need fall planting to be healthy. Here are a few you can add to your fall design:

• Spring Bulbs- Tulips, daffodils, and other flowering bulbs grow best when planted in the moderate soil and air temperatures of fall.

• Flowering Trees- Beautiful dogwoods and cherry trees need to be planted now. The roots will be stronger and expand better in the fall soil.

• Mums- Always a fall favorite, mums can bring an incredible burst of color to your garden as blooms fade.

Our experienced and fully insured professional team will have your business or home ready for spring without you lifting a finger.

Winter Weather Woes

Winter snow and ice can leave behind big messes. Broken limbs, dead foliage, dirt clumps and all sorts of debris can be found as the snow melts. Not to mention, the incredible damage harsh deicing chemicals do to your lawn and landscaping. The ups and downs of winter weather can also wreak havoc on your hardscaping. It’s important to make sure to follow a few steps when you start your spring cleaning.

1. Pick Up Debris- Dead leaves, dirt clumps, broken twigs fallen limbs and buried toys can all be harmful to your lawn. All this debris damages your lawn by:
   • Stifling growth by weighing down grass and plants
   • Blocking sunlight from plants, depriving plants of important nutrients
   • Cutting off air to roots and surrounding dirt.
   • Hiding pests, mold, and disease which can spread throughout your garden or lawn

    It is important to thoroughly remove all debris as early as possible to     allow grass and plants to grow.

1. Take Inventory- Now that you can see your landscaping, take inventory. See what’s made it through the winter and what nee3ds to be replaced. Take special notice of:
   • Hardscaping- Old concrete and wood can take a beating during winter. Wood can become rotted, broken or cracked. Paint can peel and expose wood to snow and ice, creating further damage. Cement or concrete masonry can crack under the change in temperatures. Now is the perfect time to take an inventory of your hardscaping. See what needs to be repaired and what needs to be remodeled. Landwork Contractors offers many hardscaping services and has an experienced masonry team on staff to help you create your spring paradise.
   • Landscaping-Winter weather can also affect our gardens and our lawns. If you continuously walked a certain path through the snow during winter, chances are the grass beneath it is beaten down and possibly dead. Your beautiful perennials might have taken on some disease or damage due to extreme changes. Your annuals will need to be removed and replaced. This is the perfect time to start planning some changes for spring.
2. Plot Your Yard- After you’ve cleaned up debris and taken inventory, you should start making a plan for your landscaping. Often when we clean or do an inventory, we notice new things. Take a moment to dream and consider these things:
   • Bare Spaces- Do you see spaces that look bare or don’t quite flow with the rest of your landscaping? Take note of them, draw them in a plan. Start thinking of ways to make them flow better.
   • Plan Your Space- If you find that your deck is no longer cutting it or your landscaping has bare spaces, you can add new hardscaping like fire pit installations or patios. You can also start to envision additional gardens or new annuals and perennials. Landwork Contractors has a 3D landscaping design tool that will help you see your new space before the work even begins.

We specialize in all types of holiday displays for residential or commercial use.

Choosing Your Design

There are many ways to decorate for the holiday season and many styles to choose from. Deciding on one design may feel overwhelming, so here are some options to consider for your holiday display.

• Incorporate Nature: Ears of Indian corn and tiny gourds nestled in a wreath of vines can create a warm harvest or Thanksgiving display. Sprigs of holly and evergreen boughs dripping from window boxes or hanging on trellises can add winter beauty to white blankets of snow. Nature really provides incredible accents that can be placed throughout your landscaping.

• Bring on the Evergreens! : Winter visions are incomplete without a couple hardy evergreens. Placing just two potted evergreens to your front porch or store entrance adds a touch of holiday cheer. Place them in rows along an entranceway and you’ve created stately drama. Decorated evergreens of all types add color and warmth to any home or business. Evergreens can be heavy and require special care during delivery so leave the heavy lifting to us. Landwork Contractors have specialists who take pride in delivering the best evergreens and securing them properly in your perfect holiday display.

• Wreaths – Recently, wreaths have become very popular and it’s easy to see why. Everything from football teams, special occasions like anniversaries and holiday themes can be displayed in a well-designed wreath. Perfectly placed wreaths can welcome guests or draw in customers.

• Ornaments and Lighting- There is something magical in ornaments hung with care and twinkling lights. Childlike wonder and joy inspire onlookers when they enjoy beautiful holiday displays. In the northeast, choosing ornaments and lights can be a little more difficult. With our harsh winters, outdoor lights and ornaments must be sturdy. Choosing hardy but delicate looking ornaments and lights are important for making sure your holiday display lasts all season long.
