How do I get ready for winter?

While it might feel like spring in the Upstate this week, winter is here! It won't be long before those cold fronts start coming through. Is your lawn ready for the cold temperatures? Below are a few tips that could help you prepare your lawn when the temperatures drop!
​

1. Spread new mulch. Make sure you use a thicker layer than normal during the winter months. This will protect your soil and plants through winter.
2. If you have potted spring flowers or plants, make sure you bring them inside during the colder months to keep them thriving.
3. Protect flower bulbs by putting extra mulch on them to keep them warm. You may even want to dig up some bulbs and store them in a cool, dark place during the winter months. 
4. Pull up any weeds in your yard. This should help you have less weeds in the spring when everything begins to spread and bloom again. 
5. Try to avoid walking on grass that has frost on it. This can make the grass weak, especially if this happens over and over again.
