Winterizing your lawn and garden can sound intimidating, but with a little planning, it can be a breeze! Follow our tips below to get your lawn and garden ready for the cold weather. 1. Mow your lawn one last time before the winter sets in. This will help prevent snow mold and make it easier to rake up leaves in the fall. 2. Aerate your lawn to help improve drainage and prevent compaction. 3. Fertilize your lawn in the fall to help it recover from the summer stress and prepare for the winter. 4. Clean up any debris in your gardens, such as dead leaves and branches. This will help prevent diseases and pests from overwintering in your garden. 5. Cover your garden beds with a layer of mulch to protect your plants from the cold. 6. If you have any potted plants, bring them indoors or store them in a sheltered spot outdoors. 7. Disconnect and drain any hoses and irrigation systems to prevent them from freezing and cracking. 8. Set up a bird bath or feeder in your yard to provide water for birds during the winter. 9. Inspect your trees and shrubs for any damage from the summer and trim away any dead branches. 10. Plan ahead for next year! Use this time to map out your garden beds and make a list of the plants you'll want to propagate next year.
