Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping recently donated a 8-10′ tall Red Sunset Maple tree to the Columbia, IL Rotary Club. The tree was auctioned off at the Annual Mouse Races and silent auction on 1-14-2012 and brought in $135.00! All the proceeds will benefit the club for their service projects both locally and internationally!
Ask Adam! Colorful Winter Gardens!
Wintertime, like an x-ray of the landscape, reveals a garden’s basic structure and composition. If you want to add more interest in your garden, consider some of these ideas and plants.
By using focal points, such as trellises, pergolas, statuary, containers and even large boulder rocks, you can help create dramatic year round interest. Certain features like ponds or bubbling boulders can bring attention to your garden, and sometimes can even be left running in the winter.
Gravel and wood mulches come in a variety of colors also. Have you ever considered dyed red wood mulch? There are almost a dozen different colored gravel mulches available to brighten up your landscape as well. Have you ever considered mulching your garden beds with recycled glass chips? That’s right! Recycled glass chips! Glass chips come in dozens of different colors and are safe to use and touch. Most come from recycled wine bottles. The glass is broken into small pieces and then tumbled, so there are no sharp edges. It is sold in bags and for large quantities, totes.
Did you know that adding plants such as witch hazel (hamamelis sp.), can bring fragrance to the garden, even in the cold weather? Another favorite shrub of mine is the red twig dogwood (cornus alba ‘Sibirica’). This shrub does lose its leaves in the winter but provides a brilliant red stem throughout the year. Also, by adding evergreens, like holly or boxwood, will help break up the monotony of the “dead look” as what some landscapes may look like in the winter months!

Ask Adam! Water those Evergreens well into the Winter!
The evergreens you planted this spring might appear healthy, but don’t let the green foliage fool you!
Several months of below average rainfall this hot Summer has evergreens and other non-deciduous trees and shrubs vulnerable to dehydrating cold winter winds. Watering recently planted trees and shrubs on warm, above freezing temperature days this late Fall or even Winter could make the difference between them surviving or dying this.
With newly planted trees and shrubs, the root system is limited. The plants don’t have access to large amounts of soil and therefore very little moisture. Also, stress from extreme temperatures and winds can easily dehydrate out a plant and cause damage or even death. Don’t wait till the needles or other foliage shows signs of browning to water because by then it will probably be too late. Water your evergreens regularly….then need a drink just like us!
