Taking Care of Your Lawn During Winter

Winter Lawn Care Starts with Bedrock Gardens

At Bedrock Gardens in Hazle Township, PA, we help homeowners protect their lawns through harsh Pennsylvania winters. Cold temperatures, snow, and ice can all take a toll on grass if it’s not properly prepared. Taking a few simple steps before and during winter preserves your lawn’s health and appearance, making spring revival faster and easier. Our team offers seasonal guidance to keep your landscape looking its best year-round.

Keep Foot Traffic to a Minimum to Prevent Damage

Taking care of your lawn during winter includes avoiding walking across frozen grass. Repeated foot traffic compacts the soil and breaks delicate blades, making spring recovery harder. Use walkways instead.

Clear Leaves and Debris Before Snowfall

Remove fallen leaves and debris before snow blankets the yard. Organic clutter traps moisture, encourages mold, and suffocates your grass during dormancy.

Adjust Mower Height Before the Season Ends

Cut your grass slightly shorter before winter arrives. A final mow at 2 to 2.5 inches reduces the risk of snow mold and discourages pests from nesting.

Fertilize in Late Fall for Strong Spring Growth

Apply a winterizing fertilizer in late fall. The nutrients soak into the soil and strengthen root systems, helping your lawn green up faster in spring.

Winter is a great time to plan. Protecting your lawn through the winter months sets the stage for a healthy, vibrant yard when warmer weather returns. From debris cleanup to winter fertilization, small steps now make a big difference later.
