Winter Wonders: Keeping Your Landscape Beautiful in Cold Weather

December 4, 2024

As temperatures drop and snowflakes begin to fall, you might think it's time to hang up your gardening gloves until the spring. However, your outdoor space can still burst with life during winter. At Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance, we believe your landscape can radiate beauty all year round, and we're here to help you make it happen.

Embrace the Winter Garden

One of the best ways to ensure a winter wonderland is through thoughtful pre-winter planning and design. When designing your landscape, consider plants that thrive in colder climates, such as Evergreens, Hollies, and Winterberries. These plants will maintain their vibrant colors even in the depths of winter, adding a pop of life to your otherwise white surroundings.

Incorporating plants with different textures, like succulents or ornamental grasses, can also enhance the visual interest of your winter landscape. These plants provide striking silhouettes and shadows against the snow, creating a picturesque scene right in your backyard.

But it's not only about the plants—hardscape elements like pathways, patios, and stone walls add sculptural beauty to your landscape and become even more pronounced in the winter landscape.

Prepare and Protect

When winter comes, it brings an array of challenges for your landscape, including snow, freezing temperatures, and harsh winds. It's essential to prepare and protect your landscape to maintain its beauty through these challenges.

Start by winterizing your irrigation system to prevent damage from freezing. We at Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance offer comprehensive irrigation services, ensuring your system is ready for any weather conditions.

Further, protect your plants by using burlap wraps for more delicate species, applying a layer of mulch to insulate the soil and conserve moisture, and regularly removing snow loads from your plants to prevent damage.

Maintain Your Landscape

Winter brings its own set of maintenance tasks. Regularly clearing snow and ice from hardscape elements will prevent damage and ensure safety. Also, consider pruning your trees and shrubs during the dormant winter months. This not only helps maintain their shape but also encourages new growth when spring arrives.

If you have a larger property or commercial landscape, consider enlisting professional help. At Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance, our skilled team offers landscape and garden maintenance services to keep your outdoor spaces looking their best.

Plan for Spring

Even with a beautiful winter landscape, it’s exciting to anticipate the rebirth that spring brings. Start planning your spring landscape during the winter months. Consider which areas of your landscape you'd like to enhance and what new plants or features you want to introduce. The winter season provides the perfect opportunity to design your ideal spring landscape.

Embrace Sustainability

Remember that sustainability is at the heart of all we do at Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance. We aim to create landscapes that balance beauty, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Whether it's using eco-friendly materials, implementing water-saving irrigation systems or planting native species, we always consider how our designs and practices can sustain and enhance our environment.

Wrapping Up

Winter doesn’t have to mean the end of your garden's vibrant beauty. With careful planning, protection, and maintenance, your landscape can remain a stunning sight to behold even in the coldest months. At Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance, we're passionate about helping our clients enjoy their outdoor spaces all year round.

Are you ready to transform your landscape into a winter wonderland? Or perhaps you're already looking ahead to your spring garden. In any case, we're here to bring your landscaping dreams to life.

Building on Strong Roots: Uyeta Landscape’s 2016 Small Business Award

January 28, 2026

As we begin a new year, it’s natural to focus on fresh goals, new opportunities, and the road ahead. At Uyeta Landscape, a new year is also a time to reflect on where we started and the values that continue to shape our work today. In 2016, Uyeta Landscape was honored with a **Small Business Award**, recognizing our commitment to quality, service, and community. This milestone was a meaningful moment for our team—one that affirmed the hard work being done behind the scenes every day and the standards we hold ourselves to in every project. A Recognition Rooted in Teamwork This award was never about a single project or moment. It reflected the collective effort of a dedicated team that takes pride in their work, supports one another, and shows up consistently for our clients. From planning and installation to ongoing maintenance, our people have always been the foundation of our success. That same spirit continues to guide us today. While our services, technology, and scale have evolved over the years, our core values remain unchanged: integrity, craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to doing things the right way. Carrying Our Values Forward As we move through the current season and look ahead to the months to come, this recognition serves as a reminder of what truly matters. Growth is important—but sustainable growth is built on strong roots. The principles that earned us recognition in 2016 are the same ones driving our work today across commercial properties and landscapes. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about where we’re headed. The new year represents a fresh start, but it’s also a continuation of a journey grounded in experience, trust, and long-term relationships.
