You may think it’s too late to prepare your Warren yard for the winter months because the cold is already upon us. That simply isn’t the case because there are still certain steps you can take to prepare and protect your yard this winter. The weather is only going to get worse and leaving your yard unattended can cause problems for you in the spring and summer months. If you haven’t prepared your Warren yard for the winter yet, that’s all the more reason to act with a sense of urgency and start preparing your yard now.

Areas to Focus On

Many homeowners minds are already on snow removal and winter maintenance tasks. But if you haven’t prepared your yard for the winter, those maintenance tasks will be that much harder. Here are some areas to focus on when preparing your Warren yard for the winter.

• Focus on any areas with cracked or damaged brick pavers. It’s important to have any broken brick pavers replaced before the winter hits. Cracked brick pavers can split as water turns into ice and extends the cracked surface. Not only will the winter months exasperate the damage, but the inclement weather associated with the winter can create fall risks on uneven surfaces.

• Have your sprinkler system winterized. One area of your yard you don’t want to forget is your sprinkler system. It’s important to have your sprinkler system winterized to ensure that your pipes don’t freeze and burst. Repairing or replacing your sprinkler system can become costly, especially if those repairs could have been prevented.

• Protect your trees. Protect your trees this winter by covering the base of your trees with mulch. Mulch works much like a blanket to protect the roots of your trees from the harsh cold of the winter. By having mulch spread around the base of your trees, you not only create a clean look for your yard, but you also help your trees survive the harsh weather.

• Clean leaves and debris from the surface of your hardscape. Letting leaves and debris become covered with ice and snow can create dirty surfaces in the spring. Decomposing leaves can stain the surface of your hardscape and cost you time and money to remove those stains. Even though brick pavers are stain resistant, debris that is left to rot in the winter months will need to be pressure washed to restore your hardscape to its previous glory.
