Beautiful Winter Landscapes

Those who live for the winter season have a bevvy of options when it comes to landscape design. By adding certain plants or trees, you can turn your yard into a winter wonderland that all of your neighbors will be jealous of.


Growing blue spruce trees not only provide a great look during winter (especially when covered with snow), they also act as fantastic windbreakers for your yard.


A weeping elm tree adds tons of beauty to your property. When icicles form and hand down from the weeping elm branches, it's truly a sight to behold.


Ornamental grasses add something to your yard that can stand out in the vast white acres of snow. These grasses act as a great foreground to other landscape elements in the background.


Adding a stone wall to your landscape is an excellent idea, especially in the winter months. This stone wall looks picturesque when covered with snow.

Winter Lawn Care Tips

Winter is quickly approaching, and contrary to what you might believe, your lawn maintenance duties don't hibernate for the winter like bears do. Certain actions during the winter can actually help your lawn grow even better when spring rolls around.

Fertilize

Around late fall or early winter, fertilize your lawn. This helps replace vital nutrients that can be sucked out of your ground's soil. When the weather takes a cold turn, the fertilizer will help keep your lawn well-fed and in good shape. This is a very important part of yard maintenance.

Clean Up

Before the serious cold weather comes and brings snow, clear your lawn of any miscellaneous items, including toys, logs, branches -- basically anything. These items can create dead spots on your lawn that you won't notice until spring arrives.
