As winter sets in across Ottawa, Orleans, Barrhaven, Stittsville, and Kanata, it’s crucial to take steps to protect your outdoor space from the harsh elements. Neglecting winter landscaping can lead to damage that affects your yard’s health and curb appeal when spring arrives. Here’s how you can ensure your backyard stays in top shape all year round:
🔹 Lawn Care Doesn’t Stop in Winter
While your grass may not be growing, proper lawn maintenance services—such as aeration, fertilization, and dethatching—set the stage for a lush, green lawn come spring. Consider applying a winter-friendly fertilizer to maintain soil health.
🔹 Protect Your Trees and Shrubs
Harsh cold and heavy snow can damage delicate plants. Our tree and shrub care services include strategic pruning, wrapping, and mulching to protect roots from frost damage.
