Winter Work and A Big Announcement for our Maintenance Clients
Posted on January 28, 2022
Winter is the perfect time to get ahead with landscaping projects. The lull period while turf goes dormant provides a wonderful open space of time to work on other projects. For Lotus, these include tree pruning/tree removal, hardscaping/woodworking projects, and interior projects.
Most trees benefit from pruning in mid to late winter. The cold protects the exposed interior of the tree from bugs and parasites and allows spring’s rapid new growth to heal up the place that’s been pruned. This will give the tree the best opportunity to heal and grow in the new season.
Winter is the perfect time to launch a new hardscaping or woodworking project. Michigan’s summers are, by most accounts, too stinkin’ short. So why not get those big projects polished off in the winter, so your outdoor space will be summer-ready when you need it.
Lotus Gardenscapes is Growing, Growing, Growing
Winter is chock-full of some of our favorite holidays, the kind you share with friends and family, the kind that seems to grow your gut.
