Winter Survival for Your Lawn: 3 Simple Steps for Lasting Health

Fall and Winer Lawn Care

Winter is approaching, and it’s time to begin preparations that will help your lawn survive the cold months ahead. Not only do you want to ensure that everything stays healthy in dormancy, you want it to return greener and thrive in the spring. Brockman Tree & Lawn Care understands that customized lawn care takes a lot of time and effort, and that’s why we do it all for you. Here are three best practices for winterizing your lawn and landscaping now.

1. Late Season Fertilization

One of the most effective ways to fuel your lawn for the winter is with late-season fertilization. This provides the essential nutrients that your grass roots will absorb and store over the winter, helping your lawn remain strong and resilient. Our professionals can apply fertilizer now to recover nutrients lost during the summer and promote root growth for a healthier, more beautiful lawn in the spring.

2. Mulching for Protection 

You may not associate the installation of mulch with this time of the year, but it can provide excellent protection for your lawn and the landscaping around your property in the winter. Think of it as a protective layer that insulates your soil while it helps retain moisture, prevents soil erosion, and keeps all your roots warmer through the coldest days of winter.

3. Final Maintenance of the Year 

Your lawn may require some final maintenance tasks for the year. If you still have leaves, sticks, and other debris throughout your yard, now is the time to get all of that cleared out. You don’t want to allow it to smother your lawn and create damp spots where pests can become a problem. Your lawn may need to be watered one last time as well so that it can better handle the stresses of winter.
