Focus on Safety
Keeping your family or workers safe is so important. You need to keep people flowing from one place to another.
- Make sure people can get from one place to another. Add tread to surfaces. If you don’t have a pathway, consider installing one with Unilock products.
- Keep track of trees. Make sure your trees are not overpowered by the snow or ice. Heavy trees can crack or become unhealthy. You can keep your trees healthy by.
- Adding a small layer of mulch.
- Wrapping trees with burlap.
- Trimming back dead branches you missed in fall.
- Check for Rodents. Rodents need food and warmth in winter just like we do. Unfortunately, rodents can cause serious issues for trees and gardens. Keep an eye out for rodents and consider planting some pest resistant plants in the spring.
- Stay Off the Snow- The extra pressure from walking on snow and ice can kill the grass that is waiting to grow underneath. If you do find yourself walking one path through the snow, it’s probably time to start thinking about putting down some stepping stones or a walkway.
Beauty and Warmth
Your garden may be sleeping, but it can still be beautiful. There are some wonderful things you can add to your garden for winter warmth.
- Birds and Berries- A few birds stay behind in winter, instead of flying south. Those that stay need homes in winter too. Plus, they can add so much to our winter views. Leave some berries growing for our feathered friends or add a birdhouse.
- Decorating Mulch – Mulch doesn’t have to be boring. You can actually add a tiny layer of mulch in areas that need it in ways that will also add texture and color to your winter landscape.
- Glowing Hearths – A blazing fire can make all the difference on a chilly night. Landwork Contractors can supply you with your firewood for the season.
- Wreaths – Lush wreaths can add beauty to any winter landscape. They are also so versatile that you can have them any time of the year.
- Hardscaping- Winter is a great time to consider adding some hardscaping. Benches, arbors, walkways and retaining walls are great additions to winter landscapes. While some can be put in right away, others will need some planning. January is the perfect time to start both your hardscaping and landscaping plans.
