5 Tips for Winterizing your Property

1. Wrap young (1-3yr) Emerald Cedars in burlap. If they’re free standing then wrap each tree individually, for cedar hedges use wooden stakes and burlap to box wrap them together.
2. Cut down all perennial grasses, hostas and plants.
3. Wrap boxwood hedges and individual plants in burlap. This will also help protect them from salt damage!
4. Hydrangeas should be pruned in the fall. Species that bloom on new wood can be cut down to have a 2″ stem and species that bloom on old wood should only have the flower heads removed.
5. PLANT BULBS! Spring bulbs should be planted 4-6 weeks before the ground freezes.
