As winter approaches, you and your neighbors cannot afford to leave your yards alone and wait until the spring to get busy on your gardens and landscaping again. Lawn and garden experts agree that several things can be done to protect the yard and prepare it for new growth in the spring. Here are a few of the common things you can do to preserve your yard in the winter for the coming spring season.
First, you will want to keep up with raking leaves and removing other yard debris during the winter season. The grass may turn brown, but it still needs sunlight to prepare itself for the spring months. If too much debris is left on top of the grass, it will not get sufficient sunlight, and without sufficient sunlight, grass will not be healthy come springtime.
