Before you get away from your summer getaway, schedule these services, so your landscape will be in optimal condition and ready to enjoy next spring.
Keep irrigation systems flowing until the ground freezes to water trees and shrubs planted within the past two to three years, and for trees such as evergreens with shallow root systems.
When fall weather is dry with warm temperatures, it’s best to delay irrigation system winterization and keep the water flowing.
Preventing deer from visiting your yard and shedding ticks will help reduce your family’s risk of tick bites.
Fencing also allows you to choose from a broader plant palette, instead of limiting your garden only to plants that deer avoid.
Frozen ground and dormant plants make winter an optimal time to remove dead or declining trees, especially those that would damage property or other landscape elements when branches break or the entire tree falls.
Each plant in your landscape has an ideal pruning window based on its flowering and bud-setting cycle.
Winter is an excellent time to prune many deciduous trees when branch structure is easier to see without foliage.
Horticultural oil applications suffocate overwintering insects, insect eggs, and mites when applied timely. Winter is an ideal time to eradicate certain invasive plants that host highly destructive insects.
An integrated pest management program will ensure optimal timing of year-round treatments for your landscape.
A spray coating of biodegradable horticultural oil protects evergreen leaves from tissue damage by sealing leaves and helping the plant retain moisture.
Anti-desiccant applications minimize the bronzing and curling of broadleaf evergreens that occur during winter when cold, dry winter air pulls moisture from leaf tissue.
The weight of snow accumulation on shrubs can splay and even split branches, resulting in unsightly gaps in hedges.
Snug burlap fabric covering allows the plants to breath while retaining structural integrity.

Schedule essential landscape services to ensure your property remains in optimal condition throughout winter and is ready to enjoy in spring. Key tasks include supplemental watering, winter pruning, pest management, plant protection, and planning ahead for spring enhancements.
Plants installed within the past two to three years have not yet established deep root systems. Evergreens, in particular, retain foliage year-round and continue to lose moisture during winter, making adequate fall hydration essential for preventing winter burn and decline.
Deer pressure across the Hamptons has increased significantly in recent years. Installing deer fencing helps prevent deer from entering your property, protecting both plantings and outdoor living spaces. It also reduces exposure to ticks that deer may carry, lowering the risk of tick bites for your family. Additionally, fencing allows for a broader plant palette without limiting selections to deer-resistant varieties.
Applying anti-desiccant treatments such as a biodegradable horticultural oil coating helps evergreens retain moisture and prevents tissue damage. These treatments reduce common winter issues like bronzing and curling caused by cold, dry air.
Yes. Covering vulnerable plants with burlap helps protect them from structural damage caused by snow accumulation. Properly secured burlap allows plants to breathe while maintaining their shape and preventing branch breakage or splitting.
Dormant-season horticultural oils effectively smother overwintering insects, eggs, and mites. When applied at the correct time, they form a critical part of a comprehensive, proactive plant health care program.
Winter is an excellent time to prune many deciduous trees, as their branch structure is more visible without foliage. However, pruning timing should be tailored to each plant’s flowering and bud-setting cycle to ensure optimal results. During winter, there is minimal risk of insect or fungal infections getting established in the pruning cuts.
Yes. Winter is an optimal time to remove hazardous tree limbs and trees at risk of failure. Frozen ground and dormant plant conditions allow for safer removal, minimizing damage to surrounding landscape elements and structures.
Yes. Invasive species remain identifiable and accessible in winter, and removing them at this time reduces competition and eliminates habitats for damaging pests before the growing season begins.
