Una nevicata silenziosa in una sera d'inverno con il crepitio di un fuoco di legna naturale in sottofondo è quanto di più romantico ci sia per gli amanti del freddo e per i casalinghi. Tuttavia, questo sogno di un paese delle meraviglie invernale può presto trasformarsi in un incubo di cumuli di neve, piante danneggiate e foglie morte per la maggior parte dei proprietari di casa.
Preferisci il paesaggio invernale fantasy all'opzione fredda, triste e spesso spaventosa che ti caratterizza in tuta a spalare la neve at 5 am? Us too. And the good news is that it’s not that hard to tend to your lawn in the winter to create a magical winter landscape that’ll leave you the envy of the block. Follow along with a few of our winter landscape tips.
Come creare un magico paesaggio invernale a casa
Pacciamare presto
Mulching your lawn in late fall is a great way to insulate your grass and plants to protect against any frost damage. If you have a traditional lawnmower, experts suggest mulch mowing, which consists of mowing over the fallen leaves instead of raking them away. If you don’t have many leaves to mulch, you can add a two to three-inch strato di pacciame acquistato in negozio al tuo prato per preservarne l'umidità prima che le temperature gelide la distruggano.
Don’t Stop Watering
Depending on where you live and how much precipitation you receive during the winter months, you might have to keep watering your lawn throughout the winter. Homeowners that live in places that never see full freezing winter weather (think Texas, Arizona, California, etc.) will need to keep watering as long as it’s above about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Not doing so might not affect the way your winter landscape looks, but it’ll certainly kill your grass and surrounding plants, and that’ll show up when spring comes.
Riparazione in autunno
Have systems that need repairing? Plan on making those repairs in the fall. This means repairing any Tubaziones, installing a new irrigation system, adding valves, and fixing anything and everything that’s broken or on its way to broken. Making these repairs in the fall can help ensure you’ve got time for Cemento solvente to dry, for contractors to come and work, and time to let everything settle before cold weather attacks.
Preparare l'impianto di irrigazione per l'inverno
How do you winterize your sprinkler system? First, you’ll need to turn off the water supply. Then, you’ll begin to insulate the system. This means placing insulation tubes and insulated bags (or simple plastic bags) over sprinklers, valves, and Tubaziones. Make sure you then turn off any automated timers you’ve set or switch the system to winter mode. Lastly, you’ll drain the Tubaziones to prevent and bursts to wreck your winter landscape wonderland.
Don’t Use Salt
If ice is inevitable where you live, and you frequently use salt-based solutions to de-ice your walkways, you’ll want to stop. Salt-based de-icers are a surefire way to kill your grass and plants. This also means that if you live close to a street that’s frequently de-iced using salt-based solutions, you’ll want to cover your evergreen shrubs and trees near the road to ensure that salt doesn’t fly off and cover your plants. Doing so will help preserve your winter landscape and your spring one, too.
Aggiungi qualche pentola
Don’t be afraid to get creative with winter landscaping to change up the style and “look” of your lawn. It’s encouraged! Evergreen trees and boxwood trees look great when piantato in grandi vasi. Line them up along your walkway to detract from your yard if it’s struggling with the cold weather. Or, take to decorating your front porch with different, smaller potted trees to help draw visitors’ eyes towards the welcoming front door.
Piantare alberi invernali
Before winter comes, plant trees that thrive in winter weather to create the full effect of a dreamy winter landscape. This includes maple trees, evergreen hollies, and winter flowers such as Christmas roses, winter jasmine, witch hazel, and violets. If you plan enough, you’ll find yourself with a flourishing winter garden that’ll make your home look as if it’s part of a sugar plum fairy dreamscape.
Sfrutta l'illuminazione
During the winter months, you have one thing working to your advantage in terms of landscaping that you don’t have in any other season: luci di Natale! If you’ve tried everything you could and your lawn is less than perfect this winter, don’t fret; rely on lighting to help frame the perfect winter landscape. Spotlights can help direct attention towards prettier areas whereas Christmas lights strung on the roof help draw the eye upwards.
