Winter in Seattle brings unique challenges for homeowners and property managers when it comes to plant maintenance. The wet and chilly climate can cause overgrown branches, fallen leaves, and unruly shrubs to become a safety hazard and an eyesore. However, winter plant trimming is an effective solution that not only enhances your property’s curb appeal but also promotes healthier plants and reduces maintenance in the long run. Let’s explore how winter trimming can benefit your landscape while keeping it eco-friendly and attractive.
