As temperatures drop and winter approaches, it’s essential to prepare your landscape for the cold months ahead. Proper winterization protects your investment and ensures your property looks its best when spring arrives. At Witkowski Landscaping, we help homeowners in Moorestown, NJ safeguard their pavers, plants, and irrigation systems so they can enjoy a smooth transition through every season.
Protecting Your Pavers from Freeze-Thaw Damage
Paver patios and walkways are built to last, but freezing and thawing cycles can cause cracks or shifting if not properly maintained. Before the first freeze, it’s important to:
- Clean and seal your pavers to prevent water from seeping into joints and expanding when it freezes.
- Check for drainage issues to keep water from pooling and freezing on surfaces.
- Remove debris and leaves that can trap moisture and cause stains or mildew over the winter.
A professional inspection and sealing service helps maintain the integrity and beauty of your hardscape year after year.
Protecting Plants and Garden Beds
Your plants need special care before winter hits. A few simple steps can make a big difference come spring:
- Add mulch to insulate roots and maintain soil temperature.
- Trim perennials and shrubs to reduce stress and encourage healthy regrowth.
- Protect delicate species with burlap wraps or coverings to shield them from frost and windburn.
We provide tailored winter prep for your plantings to ensure they stay strong and vibrant, even through the harshest weather.
Winterizing Your Irrigation System
One of the most important steps in winterization is properly shutting down your irrigation system. Any remaining water in the lines can freeze, expand, and cause costly damage. Our team performs:
- System blowouts to remove all water from pipes and sprinkler heads.
- Controller adjustments to ensure the system stays safely off through winter.
- Backflow prevention checks to protect your plumbing.
This proactive approach prevents repairs and ensures your irrigation system is ready to go when warmer weather returns.
