BLOG Bringing Color to Cold Climates: Yeti's Expertise in Vibrant Winter Plantings Sep 28, 2025

Winter landscapes can often feel stark, with bare branches and beds buried beneath frosts. However, at Yeti Snow and Lawn Services, we believe that winter is an opportunity to transform your yard into a vibrant masterpiece filled with color and life. Specializing in landscape and hardscape services, our team is dedicated to bringing color to cold climates through expert winter plantings.

Winter gardening might seem like a daunting task, especially when temperatures drop and snowfall becomes frequent. However, with the right selection of plants, your garden can become a rich tapestry of hues, providing aesthetic appeal and enhancing your property's value even in the coldest months. At Yeti, we leverage our expertise in understanding local climate and soil conditions to ensure that every planting thrives throughout the winter season.

One of the foundational elements of successful winter landscaping is choosing the right plants. Evergreen shrubs and trees such as pines, junipers, and hollies are prime choices. These stalwarts maintain their rich green foliage all year round, providing a verdant backdrop against which other colors can shine. For those seeking more vibrant tones, the bright berries of winterberry holly, the fiery red stems of the red twig dogwood, and the golden hues of ornamental grasses bring stunning visuals to winter gardens.

In addition to evergreens and berry-bearing shrubs, perennials like hellebores and snowdrops are perfect for introducing color. These resilient blooms are not only hardy but also provide delicate splashes of color, emerging even through the snow. At Yeti, we prioritize plants that not only survive but thrive, offering continual interest throughout the colder months.

The arrangement and design of a winter garden also play a crucial role in its success and visual appeal. Layering is key; by combining trees, shrubs, and ground covers, you create dimensions that capture both light and shadow, adding depth to your garden. Strategic placement of hardscape elements like stone pathways, wooden trellises, or even a water feature can complement the plantings and add texture and contrast to the winter landscape.

Maintenance during the winter is another vital aspect to consider. At Yeti Snow and Lawn Services, we understand that winter care is not just about removing snow but also about ensuring the health of your plantings. This involves regular inspections to prevent deer from damaging delicate plants, as well as pruning to encourage new growth.

Incorporating colorful winter plantings into your yard not only enhances its beauty but also nurtures its ecosystem, attracting wildlife such as birds that rely on berries and seeds for sustenance during the winter months. Yeti’s team is skilled at creating landscapes that are not only visually appealing but also environmentally conscious.

As the season changes and winter arrives, let Yeti Snow and Lawn Services be your partner in transforming your landscape. Through thoughtful selections and expert designs, we ensure your yard remains colorful throughout the year, providing a serene outdoor space even in the coldest of climates.
