Most people don't associate the winter with outdoor gardening work, but you may be surprised to learn that there are a few things you should do during the winter to prepare your lawn for spring before you take a well-deserved rest from working on your yard. The team at Burlington's Affordable Landscape Supplies has been providing Kentucky residents with high-quality, affordable landscaping materials since 1981, and they want to help you have a lush, beautiful lawn that accentuates your home come spring. Here are a couple of things you can do to prepare your yard for spring during the winter.

When the colder weather arrives, property owners should take advantage of this time to do some fertilizing. Before the first frost, Affordable Landscape Supplies recommends that you fertilize your lawn so that that the fertilizer can supply nutrients to the roots throughout the winter season until spring. By the time spring rolls around, your lawn will be healthy and green. 

Affordable Landscape Supplies also reminds homeowners that certain shrubs, flowers, and other plants can be planted well ahead of spring, so when the warm weather arrives, your yard will be in bloom. Consult with Affordable Landscape Supplies about the appropriate plants to prepare during the colder months so they can be enjoyed during the spring. In addition to getting some preparatory gardening done in the winter, certain winter plants, such as flowering quince and snowdrops, will make your property look radiant during the cold weather.
