As the temperatures drop and the days grow shorter, many homeowners retreat indoors, thinking their gardens are off-limits until spring. But with NWH Landscapes’ specialist landscaping and design services, we can help you winter-proof your outdoor space, ensuring it’s a place you can enjoy even during the colder months.
Here’s how we can transform your garden into a winter-friendly oasis:
1. Weather-Resistant Materials and Design
Winter brings harsh weather, including frost, rain, and sometimes snow, which can take a toll on garden elements. Our expert landscaping team will assess your garden and recommend the best materials to withstand winter’s worst. Whether it’s choosing frost-resistant paving, durable decking, or weatherproof outdoor furniture, we’ll ensure your garden remains functional and attractive.
2. Install a Covered Seating Area
An outdoor seating area is a great feature to have in your garden year-round, but it becomes especially valuable in winter when you have some form of shelter. We can design and install bespoke pergolas, gazebos, or roofed patios that provide protection from rain and frost. Add in some comfortable outdoor furniture, and you’ll have a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, even on a crisp winter morning.
3. Create a Warm Atmosphere with Outdoor Heating
Adding a heating solution to your outdoor space can make all the difference during winter. Whether you choose stylish fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, or even built-in patio heaters, we can help you select the right option to keep you warm while enjoying your garden. Our team can seamlessly integrate these features into your landscape design, ensuring they’re both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
4. Incorporate Outdoor Lighting
As daylight hours shorten, outdoor lighting becomes crucial for making your garden usable in the evening. We can install subtle, energy-efficient lighting to illuminate pathways, patios, and key landscape features, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Whether you prefer the elegance of lanterns, the simplicity of string lights, or the practicality of LED path lighting, our team will enhance your garden’s appeal and functionality during the darker months.
5. Low-Maintenance Winter Plants
Winter doesn’t mean your garden has to be barren. With careful planning, we can design a landscape that still looks vibrant, even in the colder months. Our experts will select hardy, evergreen plants and shrubs that thrive in winter, ensuring your garden has structure, colour, and life. From evergreens to winter-flowering shrubs like witch hazel and heather, we can create a garden that’s not only low-maintenance but visually appealing all year long.
6. Prepare Your Lawn for Winter
If you want your lawn to survive the winter in good condition, a little preparation is key. Our team can aerate your lawn, apply winter feed, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging. By taking these steps, your grass will be stronger and healthier, ready to bounce back when spring arrives.
7. Water Features That Defy the Cold
If you love the tranquility of a water feature, we can design and install features that function year-round, even in freezing temperatures. From frost-resistant fountains to well-designed ponds, we’ll ensure your water feature continues to add beauty and serenity to your winter garden.
