How To Properly Prepare Lawns & Gardens For Winter

 


October is a time of excitement and anticipation. Halloween is almost here, closely followed by Thanksgiving and the December holiday season. But for our lawns, October can be a time of fear and dread given the unfortunate reality that millions of people are simply not sure how best to prepare their yards for winter.

 

Worse still, many homeowners and property managers fall prey to several common erroneous myths around this time every year. Prime among these are the belief that plants all perish during the winter months when in fact they’re dormant but very much alive; or that lawns should only be fertilized during the spring, when in fact one of the best times to fertilize is during the fall and winter months before snowfall.
