Baton Rouge Lawn & Landscaping Resources

It may be hard to imagine detesting any season in South Louisiana more than its hot, muggy summers, but its unofficial fifth season is perhaps even more disliked by its residents. Spanning both summer and fall, hurricane season is a wild card, dishing up unpredictability around every corner. Last-minute jogs in the track can mean the difference between another sunny scorcher or black skies, flooding rains, and howling winds. Before a storm approaches Baton Rouge, take these crucial steps to prepare your yard against the threat of a hurricane.

It's important to prepare your yard and landscaping to minimize damage. High winds can snap tree branches, uproot plants, and send loose items flying, causing further damage. Heavy rains and coastal flooding can erode soil, drown plants, and create standing water that breeds pests. What is the most effective way to minimize this type of damage to your landscape? Start by carefully thinking about your landscape design.
