Winterizing Your Yard: Essential Steps for the Cold Months
Preparing your yard for winter is important as the cold months approach. Winterizing your yard ensures that it remains healthy come spring. At DL Supply, we have everything you need to get your yard winter-ready, from essential tools to quality materials. In this blog, we'll explore ways to help you prepare your outdoor space.
Clean up and remove debris
As winter approaches, take some time to tidy up your yard by raking fallen leaves, branches and other debris. DL Supply offers high-quality rakes and durable gloves to make the job easier and keep your hands protected.
For larger cleanup tasks, like clearing out pieces of an old shed, consider renting one of our dumpsters as a quick and efficient solution.
Protect your soil with mulch
Mulching is a big step in winterizing your yard. It helps insulate plant roots, retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Our premium mulch at DL Supply protects your plants and enriches the soil as it breaks down over time. Spread a layer of mulch around your plants to keep them cozy throughout the winter. See our blog for more information on why it is important to use mulch as it starts to get cold.
DL Supply has three types of soil: undyed, brown and black. Our undyed mulch has a nice finish for an entirely natural look. The earthy hues are a great fit for most locations. Dyed brown and black mulches are a fantastic option for anybody looking for a dependable, long-lasting color.
Apply fertilizer
Give your lawn and garden a nutrient boost before winter. Applying fertilizer helps strengthen plant roots and promotes healthy growth in the spring. DL Supply offers a variety of high-quality fertilizers to meet your yard's needs. Our staff can help you choose the right one.
Secure yard decor
Winter can be tough on hardscape features like patios, walkways and driveways. Inspect these areas for any cracks or damage and repair them before the cold sets in. Using materials like limestone and gravel from DL Supply can provide a stable base and prevent further damage. Our gravel and sand are perfect for filling gaps and ensuring stability.
Get a head start on ice and snow
For safety, you must keep walkways, driveways and steps clear of snow and ice. DL Supply's high-quality salt is perfect for this job. Spreading salt on these surfaces helps prevent ice buildup and reduces the risk of slips and falls.
Fill in holes
Once the ground is covered in snow, you don't want any of your family members to fall in and hurt themselves. Filling dips and holes in your lawn is important to do while you can still see them. DL Supply has a wide range of soils that will fit your lawn. We hold both screened and unscreened products.
