Winter services for your Colorado Landscape

We are providing Winter Watering now.
Let us know if you would like to be on our list.

A three-week dry spell means
Trees: Need about 10 gallons of water for each inch of the tree trunk’s diameter.
Shrubs: Need between 5 and 18 gallons of water.

The science behind Winter Watering
This information is from our friends at Denver Water

"While fall and winter in Denver include snow and cold, long dry stretches and warm temperatures are not unusual.
During those times, your trees and shrubs need a helping hand from you.
The occasional hand-watering of trees and shrubs in the fall and winter is helpful. A few gallons go a long way this time of year.
Watering during dry stretches, when there’s been no significant precipitation for about three weeks, will prevent root damage that affects the health of the entire plant.
Apply the water at the “drip line,” the area at the outer edge of the plant’s branches, so that it reaches the roots.
Water only when temperatures are above 40 F with no snow on the ground. Frozen soil won’t absorb water.
Keep moisture in the ground by putting mulch under the plant’s branches, leaving a few inches of space around the trunk of the tree or base of the plant."

Gardening By Tess can assist with Winter watering of your landscapes.
Let us know if you would like to be on
our
Winter list.

Happy 2026 to everyone,
