The GreenView: All the things that make your yard beautiful

Here are a few quick tips to take care of your landscape during the winter months:

Make sure to brush off snow gathered on the top of bushes and other plants. The weight of the snow can break branches and damage the plants.

Try to avoid walking over the grass when there is snow or ice; this can cause the grass blades to break off.

Clean up any debris, like fallen branches, after winter storms.

Break out the shovel and not the ice! Ice melt can hurt your grass and plants. If you do use ice melt, be sure to lightly brush off any salt that has accumulated on your plants or lawn.

Don’t forget to fill up your birdfeeders! Winter birds require high protein foods to keep up their energy while food sources are scarce. Try a healthy, filler-free bird food like Lyric Wild Bird Food.

Begin planning your spring landscape. Now is a good time to order seeds, and plan out which plants and shrubs you would like to have in the springtime.

Great read. Most people don't give any thought to the lawn and landscaping right now.
