Winter can be harsh on your trees and shrubs, but with the right preparation, you can ensure they survive the cold and emerge stronger in the spring. November is the perfect time to take action and safeguard your landscape from frost, ice, and heavy snow. At Whitehead Landscaping, we specialize in protecting your trees and shrubs with professional care to give your landscape the best chance to thrive in the coming year.
Why Winter Protection Is Crucial
Trees and shrubs are vulnerable to winter stress, which can lead to cracked bark, broken branches, and root damage. Cold winds and fluctuating temperatures can sap moisture from your plants, leaving them dry and weakened. Snow buildup can also weigh down branches, causing them to break. Wrapping and insulating your trees and shrubs in November can prevent these problems, helping your plants retain moisture and protecting them from freezing temperatures.
Insulate for Healthier Growth in Spring
By wrapping your trees and shrubs, you create a barrier that insulates them from extreme weather conditions. Burlap or other breathable materials are often used to protect against frost and ice. Additionally, adding mulch around the base of your plants helps insulate their roots, keeping them safe from freezing. Proper winter preparation sets the stage for healthy growth when spring arrives, ensuring your trees and shrubs remain strong and vibrant.
Prevent Wildlife Damage
In winter, animals such as deer, rabbits, and rodents may feed on your trees and shrubs, particularly when food is scarce. Wrapping your plants not only protects them from the elements but also discourages wildlife from damaging their bark and foliage. At Whitehead Landscaping, we can help you choose the right protective measures to safeguard your landscape from both weather and wildlife threats.
