3 Easy Winter Lawn Care Tips

December 6, 2018 by Micheal Larson

Beautiful home and lawn covered in snowWinter is here, and with it comes some unique challenges regarding caring for your outdoor plants and yard. Thankfully, Alternative Environments is here to help with winter lawn maintenance! Here are 3 winter weather lawn care tips to help care for your Villa Rica lawn:
  • Make sure to mow to the correct height! You may be tempted to mow low so that you don’t have to cut your grass as often, but it’s important to set your mower height to over 1.5 inches during the winter. This length will help keep your grass insulted during the colder months.  
  • Always avoid foot traffic when your grass is dormant or frosted. Dormant or frosted grass is much easier to weaken or damage. If you don’t have a clearly marked pathway to your front door for holiday guests, give us a call to discuss options for walkways and hardscaping. Your lawn will thank you!
  • Choose the right plants. It’s important to know which plants need to be covered or brought inside when the outside temperature reaches freezing. If you don’t want to have to cover your flowers or bring them inside, make sure to choose flowers that can withstand winter weather.  
Of course, the easiest way to care for your lawn this winter is by hiring Alternative Environments to do it for you! We offer top-notch Villa Rica lawn care services to keep your residential or commercial lawn healthy all year long. Contact us today for a free estimate.
