Why winter prep = stronger spring growth

Healthy soil acts like a savings account for moisture and nutrients. Practices that build soil organic matter—like compost and mulch—improve water infiltration, retention, and resilience against erosion and temperature swings. Natural Resources Conservation Service+1

What our winter prep includes

  • Organic compost & mulch topdressing to insulate roots, conserve moisture, and protect soil from freeze–thaw. We prioritize organic materials that support long-term soil health. Environmental Protection Agency
  • Dormant-season pruning prep (timed for late winter on appropriate trees/shrubs) to improve structure and reduce stress, with species-aware timing to protect next season’s blooms. Penn State Extension
  • Programmed maintenance so your property gets the right tasks at the right time—fall cleanups, bed edging, and soil care now; fine pruning and re-start services as we approach spring. Landscaping & Flowers

Our organic edge (grown local, applied right)

Because we manage our own composting and tree production, we pair locally adapted plant material with organic amendments that boost soil biology and spring performance—then apply at the correct depth and timing. Landscaping & Flowers+1

Plan ahead with a quick strategy

  1. Topdress beds with compost/mulch before deep freeze to stabilize soil temps and moisture. 2) Schedule dormant pruning where appropriate. 3) Set a spring re-start so feeding and cleanup happen on cue. (Our team handles this for you.) Environmental Protection Agency+1
