Winter 23-24: Lawn and Landscape Makeover Tips and Winter Lawn Healthcare

With the new year comes new beginnings, and that applies to your lawn and landscape too! A lot of details and preparations go into making your lawn and landscape shine, and winter is when we lay the foundation for the year ahead.

Reviving Your Outdoor Space
If your landscaping seems tired or you're just ready for a change, consider giving it a makeover. There are many ways to revive your outdoor space and make it the envy of the neighborhood.

Fresh Mulch
A thick layer of fresh mulch not only retains moisture in the ground for your plants but also helps regulate ground temperature in summer and winter. It deters spring weeds and creates a polished look. Plus, we can offer a variety of mulches and colors to suit your aesthetic preferences! Did you know that new mulch instantly improves appearance and curb appeal, and can even increase the value of your home? It's a small change that can make a big difference.

Pine Straw
Pine straw creates a clean appearance and is relatively inexpensive. The best time to refresh pine straw beds is after the last of the leaves have fallen.

Planting Shrubs & Trees
Fall and Winter is a fantastic time to plan out a new Landscape Design or refresh an old tired bed. We can work with you to create a tailored plan and discuss the best time to plant the new landscape. Many of our plants are winter hardy and can be planted year-round, bringing life and color back into your landscape.

Winter Lawn Healthcare
Contrary to popular belief, lawn care doesn't end with the warm weather, in fact, it's just getting started! As Carlito says, "For a healthy lawn, keep the leaves off the grass!"

What Your Lawn Needs in Winter
So what does your lawn need in the winter? And how do you know when it should happen? Good News! If you have a Complete Maintenance Plan or our Turf Care Plan, we take care of the details for you!

Upcoming Lawn Treatments
Let our experts handle your turfcare needs! Here's a sneak peek into our winter treatment plan:

• Winter Fertilization (Nov-Dec):
• Cool season lawns like Fescue receive a winter application of fertilizer to prepare the lawn for winter and encourage continued root growth in addition to maintaining a green appearance.
• Crabgrass Prevention (Pre-emergent) & Fertilization (Jan-Mar):
• This spring combo application is one of the most important of the season. The fertilizer feeds the grass at a key time and Crabgrass Prevention will create a barrier preventing summer weeds (like Crabgrass) from germinating and appearing in the summer months.
• Winter & Spring Weed Treatments:
• Cooler temperatures limit the effectiveness of weed treatments, so we closely monitor the weather and soil temperatures to time weed treatments to ensure the most optimal outcome for a healthy lawn.
