While cold weather may appear to leave your landscaping dormant for the winter, there’s a lot of preparation you can do to support the low-key functioning of your grass, trees, shrubs and flower beds so they thrive come spring. Here are the basic steps of winterizing for lawns, yards and irrigation systems.

End-of-Season Lawn Care

As grass growth slows, there’s still an opportunity to treat for weeds and get a jump on eradicating them before spring. Set your mower to the shortest blade setting. You can also fertilize, aerate and dethatch grass now.

Overwintering Prep for Trees and Shrubs

Protect and shield delicate trees and shrubs from harsh winter weather after pruning them. Water trees and shrubs deeply and add mulch to minimize evaporation and lessen the effects of cold temperatures on the roots.  

Irrigation System Management

The automated features of your irrigation system can be suspended or turned off. Shutting off the water to the system is wise, as is fully draining the pipes. This eliminates the risk of water freezing in the pipes and causing damage that could be complex and expensive to repair next spring.
