The winter months can be brutal for your landscape, especially in the Northern parts of the United States.

Can you imagine it? The frigid temperatures of winter can be brutal for your landscape, especially in the Northern parts of the United States. In fact, there are several ways that plants can be damaged during this season.

Cold temperatures and freezing temperatures are not good for plants because they cause cell damage in their stems and leaves. When cells become damaged by cold or frost, they cannot function properly and may eventually die if they continue to experience harsh weather conditions. Snow is also bad news for plants because it causes them to bend over under its weight which can lead to broken branches or even death! Ice is another villain that we don’t often think about when it comes to protecting our lawns but ice has been known to damage trees by breaking off branches at their weakest point—where two branches meet (this happens more often than you might think). To make matters worse, there’s frost on top of all these issues! Frost buildup on leaves makes them more susceptible

to wind damage which causes leaves from being blown away from the tree altogether!

We don’t want you to have to worry about your greenery, so we have prepared a few tips on how to protect your plants during these cold times.

• If possible, keep the soil evenly moist and well-watered. This will help prevent the roots from freezing in an environment with low temperatures or inadequate rainfall.
• Mulch can be used as insulation between the ground and the plant’s roots in order to protect them from frost damage when temperatures plummet below freezing.
• Choose evergreen trees over deciduous ones if you wish for longer survivability of your perennials during winter months in cold climates like ours here in Massachusetts! Evergreens are better suited for our climate since they remain green year round – providing us with some color even when everything else is covered by snow & ice!
• Plant perennials instead of annuals when building a garden bed: Perennial plants will continue blooming throughout each season whereas annuals only last one growing period before needing replanting (annuals also require more maintenance than perennials).

Use mulch. Mulch is great for keeping your plants warm and nourished through the cold weather.

Mulch is a great way to protect your plants from the elements. It’s inexpensive, easy to use, and can be reused each year.

Generally speaking, mulch comes in two varieties: organic and inorganic. Organic materials like wood chips are generally easier on the environment because they breakdown over time and provide nutrients for your garden as they decompose. Inorganic materials like rock tend not to decompose as quickly or provide much nutrition for your soil but they do help retain moisture in the ground during dry spells which is helpful when winter rains are lacking.

Whatever kind of mulch you choose make sure it’s applied evenly around all sides of your tree or shrub so that there are no bare spots where water could pool up against its trunk which could cause rot. You should also keep an eye out for weeds growing through the mulch; simply pull them out by hand if possible (or use one of these weeders) because pulling them up will disturb some of the surrounding soil which could lead to erosion around trees’ roots if left unchecked!

Plant an evergreen tree. Evergreen trees are quite obviously green all year long, so they will keep your yard looking happy through the winter months. They also provide shelter and food for birds, squirrels and other animals that may be looking for a place to stay when it’s cold out.

Evergreen trees can be planted in the winter time as well. Because they are evergreens they have a different growing season than deciduous trees (a type of tree that loses its leaves in autumn). This means you can usually plant them outside of their normal planting season which is usually late spring or early summer. In order to get them to grow quicker than usual you will want to make sure that your soil is good quality with adequate drainage and fertility levels before planting!

Choose perennials over annuals. Annuals are beautiful and vibrant, but only bloom for one season. Perennials bloom every year, giving you something pretty to look at during all seasons of the year (except maybe winter). If you don’t know what type of plants are annuals or perennials, ask your landscaper or a local plant expert!

Annuals are more expensive than perennials because they need to be planted each spring. This can add up quickly if you have a large garden! But it’s also worth it: annual flowers require less maintenance than perennial plants do (if any), so they may be better suited for beginners looking to start their first garden.

Grow some herbs in Winter. Herbs are easy to grow inside and can be taken outside during warmer temperatures.. Not only do they provide a delicious taste to your meals, but they also give off a wonderful aroma! Once spring rolls around, you can leave these outside!
