Winterize Your Landscape

Winterizing your landscape is essential to protect your investment and ensure your yard thrives come spring. Here’s a few tips on winter care, from mulching to irrigation shut-downs.

Tips for Winterization:

Lawn Care:
Apply a winter fertilizer high in potassium to strengthen grass roots and improve winter hardiness. You can find bags of winter lawn fertilizer at stores like Home Depot for around $25 – $40 depending on the brand and size.
Estimated Cost: $30 – $50 at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Protect Plants:
Wrap sensitive shrubs with burlap or frost blankets, which cost around $10 – $30 per roll. You’ll also want to mulch your flower beds to insulate the roots. A 3-cubic foot bag of mulch is typically $3 – $5.
Estimated Cost: Burlap wrap $15; Mulch $3 – $5 per bag.
Irrigation System:
Winterize your irrigation system to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking. Hire a professional like Landscape Pros if you are unfamiliar with irrigation systems and need help with Winterization. The cost for a basic irrigation system winterization service is about $75 – $150.
Estimated Cost: Winterization service $100 – $150.
Trim Dead Branches:
Prune any dead or damaged branches to prevent breakage during winter storms. A pruning shear typically costs around $15 – $30, while a professional tree trimming service can range from $200 – $1,000 depending on the size of the job.
