Garden SoilThe garden soil for your new landscaping is what will help your shrubs and trees to grow strong. The best thing to do is have a soil test done. You can either get a soil test kit at the hardware store, nursery or local college. A soil test will tell you what your soil needs to keep your plant healthy.

 Most take a complete hiatus from their yard in the cold months. It is a great time to stay inside and stay warm. There are a few things you should pick a warm day to go out and take care of to make your lawn and landscape look much better when spring rolls around. Tree PruningThe best time to trim most trees is in the winter. They won't have nearly as many issues from heat, insects and fungus in the winter as they would in the spring or summer. Pruning trees also encourages better growth on existing branches when it warms up. Cutback Winter Damage on Plants Tropical plants look very brown in the winter. Remove the dead parts so the tropical plants can start anew in the spring. Fertilize and Apply Pre-Emergent Do not use nitrogen rich fertilizer in the winter. Use a potassium rich fertilizer fertilizer instead. Additionally, include a pre-emergent that will target the weeds that pop up in spring. Treating them now with a pre-emergent will prevent the weeds from ever sprouting and being seen. Mulch and Install New TreesMulch your landscape beds once all the leaves have fallen. It will keep your landscaping looking fresh when everything else appears drab. Also, planting a tree now will give it time to adjust to the climate more easily than being planted when it is hot. This will help to ensure it has time to take root and grow. Professional LandscapingGreenSeasons is a top class professional landscaper.
