What do I do with tree trunks and branches after tree removal?
Wood chippers make tiny chips, while log splitters leave you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with a gas chainsaw or hedge trimmers, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the wood makes fresh mulch that you can spread in your garden. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or a splitting maul to divide the downed tree into smaller pieces. The wood splitter will be quicker and a wise investment if you're doing a large amount of tree cleanup, and the bigger the splitter, the better.
How do I get rid of all these leaves on my lawn?
Although it may sometimes feel like a losing battle, you can stay on top of leaf maintenance. For a workout, a quiet cleanup method, and an economical choice, slip on work gloves and rake those leaves. We've also got leaf blowers if you'd prefer an outdoor power tool instead.
How do I clean trimmers and mowers?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a certain tool. To shut down gas-powered outdoor power equipment for the season, idle each tool until the gasoline runs out, then change the oil so it's ready in the spring. For electric tools, remove the battery, put it in its storage case, and store it where it won't freeze — usually away from the tools themselves. It's a bit labor-intensive now, but you'll be glad you maintained your tools when you use them again.
How do I prepare outdoor hose faucets for winter?
Prepare for freezing temps by covering outside spigots with faucet covers. Shutting down the outdoor faucet can be put off until washing the car in the driveway or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait too long. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then open the taps and let them run until the water stops. If you have an irrigation system or underground sprinklers, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to remove every drop of water. Even though your pool is winterized by now, you may be able to prepare for next summer by searching for sales on a pool vacuum and pool cover. That way, you'll be all set for the cold now and the heat later.
Do I get a snow blower or snow shovel?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, preparing your snow removal tools is key. Snow blowers are great, but keep a snow shovel or two to chip away ice patches and clear trouble spots. Find lightweight cordless and electric snow blowers as well as gas snow blowers. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to easily distribute the ice melt or salt to clear a path to the mailbox. Shop now before the weather cools more and the snow rolls in.
Colder temperatures often mean you've wrapped up the gardening and outdoor work for the season. However, if you're motivated and it's not freezing outside, there's usually a project to do. In the meantime, enjoy your beautiful green plants indoors. Read on for more on final leaf and tree cleanup, indoor gardening, giving next year's garden bed a glow-up, or making the most of a break in the cold weather.
Leaf Upkeep and Tree Maintenance in Warmer Climates
When cold winter temps rise enough, take advantage of it to do outdoor maintenance. Neaten up your trees and bushes with chainsaws and pole saws. Fallen leaves are often still an issue in warmer climates, so check out rakes, leaf bags, and blowers. Also, remember to get buckets and a wheelbarrow to easily transport leaves and branches. Of course, if you've got snow on the ground, you'd need to wait for a thaw.
Grow Indoor Plants
An indoor garden of greenery is also lovely. Look into house plants and create an oasis inside your home. An enclosed porch or sunroom is a great place to encourage plant growth, especially with pots and plant stands of all sizes. Your spring flower seed choices, whether they're annuals or perennials, can also often get an indoor start once we turn the corner toward warmer weather.
Many types of plants will thrive indoors, from fruit trees to bonsai trees to traditional potted plants like peace lilies. Succulents thrive with little watering, and low-maintenance indoor plants are great for nervous or new gardeners. If you have furry friends, be sure to look for cat-safe indoor plants or dog-safe plants. Just make sure they get enough water, and turn the planter pots regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis. If the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes, be sure to add shallow bowls beneath them to catch any extra water.
Swap Soil for Air
For a different type of indoor planting, try hydroponic gardening. Hydroponics are an unconventional choice for indoor gardens. You can also keep them going year-round if outdoor raised beds aren't available or the existing soil is poor.
A hydroponic garden uses fertilizer and water infused with nutrients to keep plants growing in something other than dirt — like perlite, sand, or rock chips. Use it to grow vegetables and herbs this way. It's also sometimes used to grow a few varieties of succulents.
Spread Nutrients
Give your house plants a nutritious place to grow with fertilizer and proper soil. Potted plants all do best with specialty potting soil. Keep in mind that succulents need a sandier soil mix that allows for lots of drainage. For optimal results, always match your soil to your plants when transplanting to larger containers.
Fertilizer adds trace minerals and replenishes nutrients that your soil may lack. Fill in the blanks with fertilizer. We offer many kinds of non-organic and organic plant fertilizers to keep your indoor plants happy and healthy.
Add Decorative Mulch and Retaining Wall Blocks
On days when you'd like to garden but the growing season is over, do some prep work for the spring instead. Consider using retaining wall blocks to surround or accent your garden. Just measure the perimeter of your garden to get started on a plan for when the ground thaws. A beautiful garden wall or hardscaping gives a finished look, especially when you spread a layer of rubber mulch. It overwinters just fine and looks new longer than bark chips or other mulches that fade with weathering.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out warmer winter evenings with a fire pit, patio heater, or outdoor fireplace to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking to heat a small patio, a cozy back porch, or a spacious deck, we've got options. All you have to do is discover the one that matches your decor style.
We've got fire bowls and fire pit tables ready to warm your outdoor space. Check out stylish propane and natural gas fire pits in a variety of shapes. We've also got woodburning fire pits and the firewood to stoke them. You can even build your own with fire pit kits or make it completely custom and build an in-ground fire pit to your exact specifications with pavers that lead to and surround the pit. Stop by your closest garden center to see what's in stock.
