Winter can be harsh on your landscape, especially your shrubs. As temperatures drop, cold-weather shrub care is crucial to help your plants survive and thrive through the chilly months. At Eagles Landscaping Services, we specialize in preparing your shrubs for winter, ensuring they come back healthy in the spring.

Why Cold-Weather Shrub Care Matters

Shrubs are an essential part of any landscape, providing structure, beauty, and privacy. However, winter can be tough on them, especially in Arlington’s cold climate. Without proper care, your shrubs can suffer from winter burn, dehydration, and even root damage. By planning ahead and taking proactive steps, you can protect your shrubs and keep your yard looking its best all year round.

Essential Cold-Weather Shrub Services

1. Pruning and Trimming: 
Pruning your shrubs in late fall helps remove dead or damaged branches, reducing the risk of breakage from heavy snow and ice. Our team ensures that each cut is strategic, promoting better airflow and reducing the chances of disease.

2. Mulching: 
Applying a thick layer of mulch around the base of your shrubs helps insulate the roots against freezing temperatures. Mulch also retains moisture, which is crucial during winter months when the soil tends to dry out. Our experts use high-quality mulch that not only looks great but also provides the protection your shrubs need.

3. Winter Watering: 
Although your shrubs may appear dormant, their roots still require water. Dry winter winds can dehydrate the soil, causing root damage. We recommend deep watering before the first freeze to give your shrubs a healthy start to winter. Our team can handle this for you, making sure your plants are well-hydrated and prepared for the cold.

4. Wrapping and Covering: 
In Arlington, where temperatures can dip quite low, sensitive shrubs may need extra protection. We use breathable fabric wraps to shield your shrubs from harsh winds and frost. This simple step can make a significant difference in preventing winter burn and keeping your plants healthy.
