November is the perfect month to get your landscape ready for winter nationwide. Proper winter preparation protects trees, shrubs, and lawns from harsh weather, reduces plant stress, and ensures a thriving landscape come spring. Monarch Landscape specializes in comprehensive winter landscaping strategies that keep your property healthy and beautiful year-round.
1. Winter Pruning for Healthier Trees and Shrubs
Pruning during winter removes dead or damaged branches, prevents breakage from snow and ice, and promotes strong spring growth. Regular winter pruning also reduces the risk of disease and helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your landscape.
2. Deep Root Watering to Prevent Winter Stress
Even in cold weather, evergreens and shrubs can experience winter desiccation. Deep root watering keeps soil hydrated, strengthens root systems, and ensures your plants survive dry, cold months. Monarch Landscape uses expert irrigation and watering techniques to protect your landscape investment.
3. Protect Sensitive Plants from Frost and Wind
Some plants are more vulnerable to winter weather. Mulching garden beds, wrapping delicate shrubs, and installing protective screens or burlap barriers can reduce frost damage and wind burn. Monarch Landscape provides custom solutions to safeguard your plants throughout the season.
4. Preparing Lawn and Garden Beds
Rake leaves, remove debris, and apply winter fertilizer to maintain soil health. Adding mulch or compost to garden beds insulates roots, conserves moisture, and reduces weed growth. These steps ensure your lawn and garden are ready to thrive in spring.
5. Winterize Irrigation Systems and Landscape Equipment
Properly winterizing irrigation systems prevents frozen pipes and damaged sprinklers. Draining hoses and storing equipment correctly also prolongs lifespan and ensures your irrigation system is ready for spring use.

Winter preparation is essential for a resilient, vibrant landscape. By focusing on pruning, deep root watering, plant protection, and lawn and irrigation maintenance, you can keep your property healthy throughout the colder months.
