New Year Landscape Reset: Junk Haul-Off, Cleanup, and Lawn Care Tips

The New Year is the perfect time to give your outdoor spaces a clean slate. After weeks of holiday traffic, deliveries, and windy North Texas fronts, many Wichita Falls yards are left with boxes, décor, twigs, and tired-looking turf. Greenwood Landscaping helps homeowners in Wichita Falls, Pleasant Valley, Burkburnett, Sheppard AFB, Iowa Park, Holliday, and surrounding communities kick off January with efficient junk haul-off, seasonal yard cleanup, and smart winter lawn care that sets the stage for a greener spring.

What should I do to my lawn in January in North Texas?

January is about protection and prep—not aggressive growth. Keep leaves off Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine so dormant turf can breathe and resist disease. Water deeply during dry spells when temperatures rise above freezing to prevent winter desiccation. Spot-pull or treat winter annual weeds like henbit and chickweed before they seed. Hold off on fertilizing until spring, and plan pre-emergent crabgrass control for late February to early March when soil temps approach 55°F. Schedule tree and shrub pruning for safety and structure on appropriate species.

Clear the Clutter: Junk Haul-Off Made Simple

A tidy yard starts with removing what you don’t need. Our Wichita Falls junk haul-off service makes it easy to reclaim patios, porches, and side yards without multiple trips or heavy lifting. We load, haul, and dispose or recycle responsibly so you can reset your landscape quickly.

• Accepted outdoor items: broken planters, empty soil and mulch bags, worn patio furniture, storm-damaged branches and bundles, old garden tools, holiday packaging and boxes, outdated décor
• Donation-minded sorting for usable items when possible
• Fast scheduling and transparent pricing, backed by a professional, insured crew

Seasonal Cleanup That Protects Turf and Beds

January wind can blanket lawns and beds with debris that traps moisture and invites pests. Our seasonal yard cleanup focuses on reducing stress to plants while improving curb appeal:

• Leaf management: Mulch thin layers into turf for nutrients; bag heavy accumulations
• Bed refresh: Re-edge bed lines, remove weeds, and add 2–3 inches of mulch, keeping it a few inches from trunks and stems
• Perennial care: Cut back spent perennials and ornamental grasses in late January–February before new growth emerges
• Storm readiness: Remove deadwood and low limbs over walkways; check for rubbing branches and weak unions

Winter Lawn Care Tips for Wichita Falls

Dormant lawns still need smart care to come back strong in spring.

• Mowing: Only as needed to tidy; avoid scalping. Maintain late-fall heights to protect crowns
• Watering: Apply 0.5–1 inch during extended dry periods when temperatures are above freezing
• Weeds: Spot-treat winter annuals; schedule pre-emergent for late winter windows
• Traffic: Limit heavy foot traffic and parking on dormant turf to prevent compaction
• Soil health: Consider a soil test now so spring fertilization targets the right nutrients

Hardscape and Walkway Safety for Cold Snaps

Safe, clear walkways matter during freeze-thaw cycles and after blustery fronts. Greenwood Landscaping inspects patios and paths, tightens paver joints with polymeric sand, and edges along concrete and flagstone for a cleaner, safer finish. Choose plant- and concrete-friendly traction like sand or calcium magnesium acetate, and avoid harsh salts that can damage hardscapes and nearby turf. We’ll also check drainage and downspout direction so water doesn’t pool and turn slick in high-traffic areas.

Your January Outdoor Checklist

• Remove leaves from turf; clear drains and curb lines
• Trim back perennials and ornamental grasses before new growth
• Refresh mulch in beds; re-edge for crisp lines
• Spot-treat winter weeds; plan pre-emergent timing
