As any gardener knows, winter can be a tough time to keep your plants beautiful and keep them growing for the next season. For commercial real estate managers, winter hardships can be even more challenging when combined with all the other factors involved in running a successful business. It is important to prepare for winter. All lawn care professionals are experienced in dealing with all the unpredictable weather that winter can bring and have the experience to keep your property attractive and well maintained in the spring.

Anticipate winter

Winter is probably the best time to aerate the soil. This will help ensure that nutrients and water get to the roots of your lawn and other plants. It also helps prevent soil damage after it has been blown away and covered with cold rain. Winter is a good time to fertilize.

Fertilizing trees in winter can increase their resistance to pests and diseases in the following season. Don't be afraid to mow your lawn constantly, especially in winter. This will reduce the risk of morning frost. It is important to continue pruning after leaf thinning. Damaged branches can be uncomfortable, and removing them will make your tree healthier after spring.

Winter Environmental Design

In winter, there are flowers that bloom in slightly cooler climates. Plants seen in winter include snapdragon, pansy, calendula, and English marigold, which can withstand winter as well as hot summers. It is also important to consider outdoor lighting in winter. It can be more crowded than commercial properties, so it's a good idea to provide warm lighting around driveways and other critical areas.
