It might be the bit of frost in the morning as you’re getting yourself out for your commute, or the snow has covered the trees in the front yard, or the dog has dug up something in your perennial garden last night, but you’ve taken a moment to look at your front or back yard and seen — what?
You’ve seen that spot in the yard where the sod didn’t take, the perennials look wobbly, or you are wondering if this is the year for that patio with the arbor. We are ready to help here at Modern Landscapes with our professional designers and workers. We look forward to being a part of your winter landscaping team here in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Winter is the smartest time to divide and plant.
Perennials will usually do better if you divide or move them now. And it’s the best time to find a home in your garden for bare-root shrubs and trees. As these plants, shrubs, and some trees are generally dormant now, there will be less stress and damage to your plantings, which gives them a greater chance for success next spring and summer in making your garden the best it can be.
Winter clean-up is a thing!
Where the sod didn’t take, where you need to mulch, and where the bugs ate your zucchini are all places we can help. Every winter there is a great opportunity to clean up those areas that never seem to get the help they need. We will work with you to make that happen for your sod and garden. Our pros have seen it all, and they will take your 2023 garden to next level success.
Winter is planning time.
Whether you are thinking of changing the view from your back patio, or you are gazing out your kitchen window dreaming of a new firepit complete with s’mores, winter is the time to make those plans into a springtime reality. Our expert designers are here to help you wade through brick, flagstone, and concrete ideas to create a new outdoor living area for your home. Their knowledge of our scenic area of Pennsylvania will be sure to add value to your home while they make space ready for new memories in your yard.
Winter is a great time to assess your lighting needs.
Evening arrives early these few months and brings with it an opportunity to take a walk around your yard thinking about how you can use some light here or there. Landscape lighting can accentuate areas of your garden that will have your neighbors taking note! Have one of our friendly folks come out and take that walk with you, and look at your yard with innovative and well thought out plans.
Your landscaping needs will especially benefit from meeting with us at this time of year as there is usually less demand, and your plans will become a much sooner reality than if you waited until the spring air finally beckons us outside. As a homeowner in southeastern Pennsylvania, what are your dreams? Which area can we help you with? Please feel free to contact us today here at Modern Landscapes. We are professionals happy to help.
