🍂 Winter Yard Prep Tips for North Texas Residents 🍂
Even though this winter is expected to be warmer than normal, temps are forecasted to dip into the 30s this coming Sunday and Monday 🥶 before warming back up throughout the week ⛅
Snow chances are possible, with some outlooks pointing to potential periods of cold and possible snow ❄️ in late January and February, with plenty of temperature rollercoasters in between 🎢
Weather variations are nothing new to us. This is Texas after all, so we never truly know what the weather will do 🤷 That means we’ve got to be ready for anything and everything!
💨❄️ Sudden cold snaps, winter rain, and those surprise bouts of ice or snow can really take a toll on your yard, so it’s best to do a little prep now to keep everything healthy, safe, and ready to bounce back strong in spring! 💪🌿
Here are a few quick tips to get your yard winter-ready:
1️⃣ ADJUST YOUR MOWING SCHEDULE
Keep mowing until grass growth fully stops, then resume in early spring. Mow on dry days and lower the blades one notch from the previous mow to prevent mold and protect roots.
✅ Service we offer: Final Seasonal Mow & Winter Maintenance
2️⃣ ADD FRESH MULCH
Mulch helps insulate roots, keep soil moist, reduce weeds, and give your beds a clean, finished look for the holidays.

3️⃣ CLEAN UP LEAVES AND DEBRIS
Remove matted leaves to prevent fungus, pests, and rot while improving your lawn’s overall health and curb appeal.
