The Christmas ham has been devoured, the gifts have been unwrapped and the last pieces of wrapping paper crumpled and tossed. As the holiday season winds down and the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your lawn’s progress and begin establishing your goals for the future. Whether your yard thrived this past year or faced challenges, we think there’s no better way to end the year than by ensuring your lawn and landscape is ready to tackle 2025.

Winter may seem like a quiet time for lawns, but in Alabama, the mild climate can create the perfect conditions for certain lawn diseases. Understanding these issues and taking proactive steps can help ensure your lawn stays healthy throughout the season and is ready to thrive come spring. Here are the top three winter lawn diseases Alabama homeowners should watch out for and how to prevent them.

Alabama is known for its mild winters and long growing seasons, but our state also experiences varying temperatures across different regions—from the coastal areas of Mobile to the northern hills of Huntsville. This diversity makes it essential to select plants that are not only native but also cold-hardy, ensuring your garden remains lush and colorful even during cooler months.

Christmas is right around the corner, and people across Alabama are transforming their homes and yards into festive winter wonderlands. From sparkling lights to cheerful inflatables, holiday decorations are a staple of the season. However, these festive displays can harm your lawn if you’re not careful. To ensure your grass stays healthy and vibrant, even with decorations in place, follow these practical, lawn-friendly tips.
