Transform Your Winter Garden – As the colder months approach, preparing your garden for winter becomes essential to ensure it thrives through the season and is ready to bloom again in spring. Protech Property Solutions, with over 35 years of experience in garden maintenance and care, is here to help you make the transition with ease. Our expert team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to maintain the beauty and health of your garden throughout winter, ensuring that your outdoor space remains an asset to your property.

Why Winter Garden Maintenance Matters

Many property owners overlook garden care during the winter months, assuming that plants, lawns, and other features will simply “hibernate” until warmer weather returns. However, winter is a crucial period for your garden. Without proper preparation and maintenance, your outdoor space can suffer from frost damage, poor soil health, and overgrowth that can lead to more extensive work come spring.

Here’s how Protech’s comprehensive winter garden maintenance services can transform and protect your garden during the colder season:

Lawn Care and Protection

As winter sets in, your lawn needs specific care to survive the colder temperatures and reduced sunlight. Our team provides services such as:

• Aeration: We ensure proper soil aeration to improve drainage and allow roots to absorb nutrients.
• Fertilisation: A final round of fertilisation before winter can help strengthen your lawn and promote healthy growth when spring arrives.
• Leaf Clearing: We remove fallen leaves that can block sunlight, trap moisture, and cause fungal diseases if left to accumulate.

Pruning and Trimming

Pruning and trimming are essential winter tasks to keep plants healthy and well-shaped. Our team of gardeners will:

• Prune shrubs and trees to remove dead or diseased branches, encouraging new growth and improving the overall structure.
• Trim hedges and other plants to maintain their shape and prevent them from becoming overgrown during the dormant season.
• Protect vulnerable plants by covering them or relocating them to sheltered areas where they can avoid frost damage.

Garden Bed Preparation

Preparing your garden beds for winter helps preserve the soil and ensures it’s ready for spring planting. Protech’s garden maintenance services include:

• Mulching: We apply a fresh layer of mulch to insulate soil, regulate temperature, and prevent weed growth.
• Soil enrichment: We assess and amend your soil with organic matter to retain nutrients over winter, ensuring a fertile base for next year’s plants.
• Winter planting: For those looking to keep their gardens lively, we can plant winter-hardy flowers, such as pansies or hellebores, to bring some colour to your outdoor space even during the coldest months.

Pest Control and Disease Prevention

Winter is also a time when pests and diseases can threaten your garden. Our team takes proactive steps to protect your plants from potential infestations:

• Remove garden debris where pests often nest, helping to prevent infestations during the colder months.
• Monitor for signs of fungal diseases that thrive in damp, cold conditions, taking swift action to prevent their spread.
• Apply protective treatments to trees and plants susceptible to winter pests, ensuring they remain healthy throughout the season.

Winter Garden Design and Enhancements

Even in winter, your garden can be a stunning space. We offer services to help enhance your garden’s aesthetic appeal during the colder months:

• Winter planting schemes: We help you choose and plant winter-friendly shrubs and perennials that bring beauty and structure to your garden.
• Hardscaping: Protech’s team can also advise on hardscaping elements like paths, patios, and garden lighting that enhance your outdoor space year-round.
