Winter Damage Is Everywhere. Here Is How to Rebuild Your Landscape This Spring

  • Writer: Maple Leaf Farms

This winter was one for the books. Heavy snow, freezing temperatures, ice storms, and relentless wind caused serious damage across landscapes all over New Jersey and the surrounding areas. Many homeowners are now walking their properties and noticing the effects that months of harsh weather can have on plants, trees, and privacy screens.


Burned evergreens, split branches, uprooted trees, broken limbs, and shrubs that simply did not survive the season are unfortunately very common this year.

And if it was not the snow, wind, and ice causing problems, it was the deer.


Throughout the winter months deer pressure becomes much heavier as natural food sources become scarce. This leads to severe browsing on arborvitae, hollies, yews, and many other landscape plants. In many cases plants that were once full and healthy now have large sections missing or are permanently damaged.


For many properties spring will be the perfect opportunity to rebuild, refresh, and restore what was lost during the winter.

Replacing Winter Damaged Plants

Early spring is one of the best times of year to replace damaged trees and shrubs. Cooler temperatures and increased moisture allow plants to establish strong root systems before the heat of summer arrives.

If you are noticing gaps in your landscape, thinning privacy screens, or plants that did not survive the winter, replacing them early in the season will help your property recover quickly.



Affordable Spring Replacements at Maple Leaf Farms

At Maple Leaf Farms in Manalapan, NJ we specialize in offering premium quality plant material at everyday low pricing. Our goal has always been simple. Provide strong healthy plants at pricing that homeowners and landscapers can actually afford.


One of our most popular deals this season is our 3 gallon material promotion. Select 3 gallon plants are available for 10.99 each or 3 for 30. This is a great way to replace damaged shrubs, fill in empty spaces, or add new plantings to your landscape without breaking the budget.



Arborvitae for Privacy and Screening

Many properties experienced damage to their privacy screens this winter. Arborvitae rows that once created thick green walls may now have gaps or plants that were heavily browsed by deer.

At Maple Leaf Farms we carry a wide range of arborvitae to help rebuild those privacy screens. Sizes currently range from 4 to 5 foot plants all the way up to large 10 foot specimens.


These evergreens remain one of the most popular choices for privacy because they grow in a tight upright form and maintain their rich green color year round. When planted correctly and spaced properly they create beautiful natural screens that can last for decades.



Premium Plants at Everyday Low Pricing

At Maple Leaf Farms we do not rely on flashy promotions or inflated pricing followed by discounts. Our approach is simple.


High quality plant material. Honest pricing. Real value.


Customers travel from all over New Jersey and the tri state area because they know they will find strong healthy plants at prices that are often far lower than traditional garden centers.


Whether you need a few replacement shrubs or an entire privacy screen there are always great options available.



Join Us for Opening Day

Spring is the perfect time to walk your property, assess winter damage, and start planning improvements for the season ahead.

If the snow, wind, ice, or even the deer took a toll on your landscape we are here to help.


Come visit us on Saturday March 7th when we open for the season. We will be happy to walk the yard with you, answer questions, and help you find the right plants for your property.
