It is true
that outdoor activities come alive in the fall. This is also a great time of
the year to prep your yard or lawn for the next season. Cooling temperatures
slow above-ground growth while moist soil encourages strong root development.
By removing spent stems, dead branches and heavy leaf cover, you can protect
your plants’ overall health. If you are too busy to take care of your lawn, you
can get in touch with the acclaimed Curb Appeal Lawn Care in Simpsonville which

and the professionals will visit your doorstep and carry the lawn care task
without any hassle on your part.
Here we are
listing a few winter landscape tips from the certified lawn care professionals
at Curb Appeal Lawn Care which will make your yard winter-ready:
Plant New Trees And Shrubs- Planting trees and shrubs in early
fall gives plants a head start at establishing roots in the season’s cool and
moist soil. Steps to follow include:
·
Dig
a hole (twice the diameter and to a depth of two inches less than the full
height of the root ball).
·
Position
the shrub in the hole and make sure that the top of the root ball remains at
the ground level.
·
Fill
in with soil and water.
·
Add
more soil to the top of root ball.
·
Make
sure to properly mulch around the tree.
Mulch Young Trees And Plants- Organic mulch helps keep organic
matter in the soil around the tree, conserves soil moisture and provides weed
control. Use organic mulch which can be made of chopped leaves, weed-free straw
and wood chips. Cover the planting hole with leaf mulch but do not go overboard
with mulching. You should keep the mulch two to three inches away from the
trunk or else the trunk will rot. Apply before the ground freezes.
A Good Inspection Of Trees And Shrubs
For Insects & Diseases- Insect and disease management is important in the winter season which
will ensure healthy trees all year so look for Emerald Ash Borer, scale, mites,
lace bugs or beetles and treat them appropriately. You can go for professional
services as well.
Collect The Leaves- You can easily transport fallen
leaves by raking them onto a plastic tarp. You can also add leaf matter from
the gutters and other lawn clippings to a compost bin; aerate by flipping the
leaf pile every week with a garden fork; all these will eventually result in
“black gold” the upcoming year which can be used for feeding trees and shrubs.
Prune Dead or Diseased Branches- Pruning is a cornerstone of any
successful tree care program. Dead branches are most likely to succumb to
winter snow and winds which can endanger you and your home. Cut cracked, loose
and diseased limbs close to the trunk. You can take professional help as well
in this regard.
