Winterizing Your Garden and Landscape

With fall well underway, and parts of the US already feeling plummeting freezing temperatures, preparing and winterizing your garden is an essential task to help protect shrubs and newly planted trees. It's also good to help create a natural habitat for garden wildlife, in need of food and shelter during the winter months. Planting trees and bulb flowers that will pop up in the spring, bringing some much desired color to a dreary landscape.

Winterizing your garden may sound like a lot of work, however it's worth it to get these jobs done in the fall when temperatures are cooler easier to work outdoors. From tasks like blowing out irrigation systems to prevent freezing and broken pipes, to cutting back dead or damaged limbs that could become hazardous during sever winter storms. It's also an ideal time to give your garden tools some TLC before putting them to bed for the winter. Even through it's the end of the growing season, there's still plenty to do to keep gardeners, property owners and landscape professionals, busy this time of year.
