Winter Yard Care Tips for West Texas Homeowners
Watering Trees and Lawns in Winter
Watering may not seem necessary in winter, but trees and lawns still need moisture to remain healthy. While you can reduce frequency, watering deeply during dry spells ensures your landscape stays nourished, preventing winter die-back and improving resilience come spring.
Prune and Tidy Your Landscape
Trimming dead branches and removing fallen leaves is critical for a neat yard and helps prevent diseases and pests. Prune trees and shrubs as needed, and remove any overgrowth that could attract pests looking for winter shelter.
Organic Lawn Treatments for Winter Health
Applying an organic winterizer to your lawn promotes root health, even as grass becomes dormant. Look for organic products like compost tea or seaweed extract to provide nutrients without harming the environment. For trees, an organic mulch layer around the base adds insulation and helps retain soil moisture.
Cover Plants and Protect Delicate Areas
Protect young plants or sensitive shrubs by covering them with burlap or frost cloth when extreme cold hits. This can help prevent frost damage and increase the chances of their healthy return in spring.
Benefits of Winter Yard Maintenance for Buyers
Homebuyers notice well-maintained landscapes, even in winter. A yard prepared for winter signals that the home has been well-cared-for, potentially increasing curb appeal and market value.
