You spend a lot of time on your lawn and plants in the warm months. You enjoy their beauty, their usefulness, and even their taste if you have vegetables in your garden. So you want to make sure that your plants stay healthy in the cold temperatures of winter. Rapidly changing temperatures, extreme temperatures, frost, and snow can damage your plants.
Here are some helpful tips to protect your plants from the cold:
- Cover your plants with clear plastic. A plastic covering protects plants from snow and frost. Make sure that the plastic is a bit higher than the plant so the plastic doesn’t freeze to the plant. Using clear allows you to see through the plastic and monitor your plants.
- Cover plants with blankets. An alternative to using clear plastic is using old blankets or sheets to cover your plants. However, when using this method it is important to keep blankets dry.
- Use hot caps on vegetables. Hot caps are recommended to protect tender vegetables from frost. These can be purchased or you can make your own. Visit http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Garden-Hot-Caps-from-Used-Milk-Jugs
- Move plants to shelter. If possible, move plants to a place that offers shelter and warmth from the elements. This can be inside or even under a covered structure.
- Use mulch. Mulch acts as an insulator for plants during temperature swings.

We are currently in Round 8 of our Lawn Care treatments. The main focus of this treatment is lime application. Lime is essential for regulating the pH levels in the soil.
For best results:
- The treatment should be watered in within 48 hours.
- The lawn should not be mowed 2 days before or after the treatment.
Round 8 is the final treatment in our year long treatment plan for a healthy lawn. Each treatment is applied seasonally, due to the needs of lawns at that time. Next, we will start Round 1.
For additional lawn care services such as aeration, overseeding, tree & shrub, bed control, and warm season aeration, call Northwest Lawn Care at 770-293-2700 or visit us online at https://www.callnorthwest.com/lawn-care/

We are currently on Round 8 of our Lawn Care service. The main focus of Round 8 is lime application. Lime is essential in regulating the pH levels in your soil. “pH” is a measure of your soil’s acidity or alkalinity. If your soil’s pH level is outside of the desired range, there is a good chance that your soil is not getting the vitals nutrients and minerals that it needs to grow into a healthy lawn.
For Best Results:
- The treatment should be watered in within 48 hours.
- The lawn should not be mowed 2 days before or after the treatment.
If you are giving your lawn TLC and still not seeing it be as healthy and productive as you would like then maybe your pH balance is off. A professional lawn care company should be able to test the pH levels in your soil and help you to determine a customized plan that is right for your lawn. After all…don’t we all want greener grass?
