Many people often think that winter time means they don’t have to worry about their lawns for a few months, and are surprised to learn that winter lawn care in the South is even a thing!  Read below for some tips on winter lawn care in Alabama from the lawn care experts at Mighty Green Lawn Care.

In the South, we’ve got it pretty easy when it comes to winters.  Sure, we’ve had some pretty incredible snow storms and crazy winter weather events over the years, but for the most part, our winters are typically very mild.  Even though we may not deal with a lot of snow or extremely low temperatures, winter is still a rough time of the year for southern lawns.

Over the last several decades, Holiday decorating ideas and supplies have exploded in the American market.  Just about every store, from the big chain stores to smaller “mom and pop” shops, carry decorations for your home, your lawn, yourself, and even for your family pets.

​Preparing and decorating for the holidays can be fun and festive; however, you should take caution in choosing the right types of decorations to use, especially if you want to protect your home and your yard.  Below, you will find 3 tips for protecting your lawn from any damage that can be acquired from certain types of holiday lawn decorations.
