When it comes to seasonal landscaping care, winter is one of the most challenging due to the cold conditions, including the potential for snow and ice. The freezing ground can also make it difficult to do some of the most common landscaping and lawn maintenance tasks like weeding and planting. Winter is the perfect time to address landscaping and prepare the lawn and shrubs for spring and summer growth. Additionally, you want to maintain that all important curb appeal for your commercial property during the harsh winter months. Pugh's Earthworks will take steps winter proof your commercial property. Below is a high-level overview of some of the important actions to take to winterize your commercial property. Winter Commercial Landscape Service Prune and Clean - Remove all organic debris from your lawn, including leaves and fallen tree branches. Leaving that debris on your lawn can cause bacteria and disease to flourish as well as attract insects and other pests. This process also promotes the space for new growth.

More precipitation in the winter means less need for irrigation and more need for good drainage.

The certified landscape technicians at Pugh's Earthworks will perform a soil analysis to determine what is the best treatment.
