Prepare Your Home & Garden for Winter

Synthetic grass is a great option in Fresno during the winter months. Special care is needed to properly maintain your home and garden during this time. There are so many colorful plant and décor options that are unique to the winter season. Let a synthetic grass installation from SYNLawn Fresno make your winter landscaping simple and easy. Read on for some helpful suggestions to plant a healthy winter garden and improve curb appeal.

Pick Your Plants and Flowers With the Season in Mind

Fill your landscape with plants and flowers that are seasonally appropriate.  Though the climate of central California is relatively mild, it is important to take seasonal temperature changes into account when planting.

Wintertime ushers in poinsettia season! Be sure to move your poinsettias inside at night to prevent freezing. Even though many flowers & plants are dormant this time of year, it is important to plant trees, perennials, shrubs, and bulbs at this time. This will allow them to establish a solid root system before spring. Similarly, if you haven’t pruned your roses, now is the time! Remove spindly, dead or crossing branches and do not leave any buds. Pansies and snapdragons are other winter-friendly blooms that will give your landscape color during the cooler months.

Synthetic grass from SYNLawn Fresno can be customized to accommodate a wide variety of planting beds and existing landscape elements. Artificial grass can be manicured to complement almost any shape and design of natural plants, trees and flower beds.

Winter Curb Appeal & Maintenance

There are certain steps that need to be taken to properly maintain the appearance and functionality of your home. Be sure to clean your gutters and drain water from hoses before the temperatures drop. Coil up hoses and bring them indoors for the winter. Water expands when it freezes and may damage the hose if left outside.

The winter season is an especially good time to focus on the front door to make the entrance of your home inviting to guests.  Try a new coat of paint on in a vibrant shade or rich jewel tone. Keep light fixtures clean and in working order. Subtle wintry decorations, such as small lights on your shrubs or a festive wreath on the door, will welcome guests into your home.

A brand new SYNLawn artificial grass lawn will be sure to create an inviting look and feel while enhancing your home’s curb appeal this holiday season. Choose from several color palettes and unique features that suit your needs best.
