Here in Ohio, the winter season can take a heavy toll on your yard, so you'll want to make sure you properly prepare it to endure the freezing temperatures. One thing you can do to prepare your yard for the winter is to trim your shrubs. This will give your shrubs a nice, clean look as they head into winter, and they will be ready to start growing again when spring arrives. Another thing that you can do is to spruce up your landscape beds. By removing debris and weeds from them, and edging them, you can help them look their best as winter arrives. Finally, you should either install a mulch ground cover in your landscape beds or replenish the mulch in them to protect your plants from the freezing temperatures. By taking the time to prepare your yard for the winter, you will help it make it through the season and start off spring on the right foot!

Trim Your Shrubs Before the Winter Season Arrives

One of the best ways to prepare your yard for the winter is to trim your shrubs during the fall season. That's because trimming your plants during the fall will remove any overgrowth and get them looking their best. This way, when winter arrives and growth comes to a standstill, your shrubs will stay looking great over the duration of the winter season. What's more, when spring rolls around, your shrubs will be ready to start growing again!

You can prepare your landscape beds for the winter by sprucing them up in the fall.

The landscape beds on your property play a huge role in its overall curb appeal, so you'll want to keep them looking great throughout the year, even during the winter season. To prepare your landscape beds for the winter, there are some things that you can do in the fall, including:

  • Removing debris from them - Debris can not only drag down the beauty of your landscape beds, but it can also attract pests. By removing debris from them, you can enhance their beauty and help prevent insects from infesting them.
  • Removing weeds from them - Weeds can steal nutrients from your plants, which they will desperately need to make it through the winter. By removing weeds from them, you will prevent them from taking nutrients from your plants, and you'll increase the beauty of your beds, too!
  • Edging them - You can edge your landscape beds in the winter to clearly define their border and keep them looking their best.
