Landscape Tips for December

Happy Holidays from Creative Visions Landscapes!!
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The days are shorter, the temperature is lower and none of us want to spend much time outside. But, there are a few things you should do before you hibernate for the winter.

Landscape Tips for December

• Prune evergreens and holly
• During heavy rains, watch for drainage problems in the yard. Tilling, ditching, and French drains are possible short-term solutions. Consider rain gardens and bioswales as a longer-term solution.
• Turn off water faucets to prevent freezing
• Protect new landscape plants from wind. Use stakes, wires and/or windbreaks as needed.
