Winter Landscaping Services for Your Denver Commercial Property
Winter Lawn, Tree, and Plant Care
One of the most important tasks of winter landscaping services is making sure that your property is prepared for spring. Your lawn, trees, and plants all deserve a little TLC to get them through the winter. Our lawn care and tree & shrub care experts can take care of your property year-round. Some winter services we can provide for your property include:
- Putting down grass seed (known as dormant seeding in the winter) to fill in any brown or missing patches in your lawn
- Trimming and dormant pruning trees and shrubs to promote healthier growth
- Removing dead plants from flower beds and planters
- Weed removal for pesky winter weeds that wake up when your other plants are dormant
- Leaf removal in case you have a large property or a lot of trees and need multiple passes
- Fertilizing to prepare your lawn and plants for a healthy spring growing season
- Mulching to help keep winter weeds at bay and add vital nutrients that your spring plants need
- Wrapping young trees and shrubs in protective burlap to protect them from cold temperatures, snow & ice, and animals
- Installing burlap screens or snow fences around your lawn, flower beds, and planters to prevent salt and other de-icing products from contaminating the soil
- Fallen limb or tree removal and other storm cleanup services
Planting for Winter and Spring
Winter plants and flowers can bring life to your property when your other plants have gone dormant. Plants and flowers that can give winter a splash of color include:
- Evergreens
- Coneflower
- Baptisia (aka Wild Indigo or False Indigo)
- Pansy
- Holly bushes
Winter is also a great time to plant bulbs and perennials that will sprout in the spring. Mulching and fertilizing in the winter will make sure that your plants have all the nutrients they need to thrive when they wake up. Some spring plants that thrive in Colorado are:
- Alliums
- Crocus
- Daffodils
- Tulips
- Hyacinth
Drainage Improvements
Proper drainage is essential for preventing liability risks and property damage. After it snows or rains, water that gathers in pools or puddles will freeze overnight and create slip-and-fall risks. Winter also brings the risk of frost action cracking pavement and concrete, causing costly repair bills and possible tripping hazards. Our experts can identify any problem areas on the property and make the necessary improvements to prevent injury or damage.
Irrigation Winterization
Winterizing your sprinkler system is vital to prevent damage, skyrocketing water bills, and expensive repairs. Fall is the best time to winterize your irrigation, but skipping out can be an incredibly costly mistake. Our irrigation system experts will make sure that your sprinklers are prepared for winter and keep them in great condition for years to come. Our winterization services include:
- Shutting off the water supply
- Blowing out all water in the system
- Insulating and securing all components
- Turning off timers and controllers
- Inspecting the system for any damage or necessary repairs after all water has been removed
Landscape Enhancements
Winter is a great time to work on improving your landscaping. Because most plants are dormant, it can be easier to get the “big picture” of your property’s layout. Our landscape enhancement experts will work with you to devise plans and projects that will make your property stand out. Some of our landscape enhancements include:
- Landscape Design and Renovations
- Hardscape and Retaining Wall Installation
