Protect Against Winter Storm Damage in Your Garden
You’ve done the right thing and looked out for your house in case of storms; it’s cleaned up, tied down and protected – and of course you’ve got a homeowner’s insurance policy and a flood policy just in case. Now it’s time to look at your garden and see what you can do to shelter the plants that you have nurtured so far. If you start to think about preparing your yard for winter in the fall season you’re giving your garden the best change of surviving wind and temperature damage.
Shrub shelters are a good idea to house your deciduous flowering shrubs for the winter, so that snow or ice storms don’t snap branches. You can either build your own shelters out of natural material or construct an A-frame out of timber.
Evergreen shrubs can be wrapped against damage, using commercial tree wraps. This ensures the support of the limbs against their trunks and means that the snow, ice and wind won’t snap them off. Staking trees helps, too, especially if they have been trimmed and properly watered.
Wind shelters around susceptible plants help to prevent drying out from constant wind action. An anti-desiccant (anti-drying agent) can also help here, if it’s applied in late fall before the temperature drops.
With a little foresight and planning, your garden will survive the winter as well as the other residents of your property.
It’s also a good idea to review the level of coverage on your homeowner insurance policy before winter storms arrive. If you’d like a competitive quote on homeowner insurance, or you’d like to find out about flood insurance, call our customer service assistants today.
