Cold weather is hard on commercial landscapes. Freeze and thaw cycles, road salt and drying winds can undo a season of growth in a few weeks. A little preparation in late fall keeps properties healthy and ready for spring.
Protect roots and soil
A fresh layer of mulch insulates roots and holds moisture. Deep watering before the ground freezes helps evergreens avoid winter burn.
Plan for salt and snow
Salt-tolerant plantings near walkways, burlap screens for exposed shrubs and clear snow storage areas all reduce damage along high-traffic edges.
Keep the space inviting
Seasonal containers, evergreen accents and holiday lighting keep entrances welcoming through the darkest months of the year.
