Rascally Rabbits Wrecked My Shrubs! 🐰👎

It’s been a cold, harsh winter! Even though you took great care to keep your yard looking beautiful year round, as the snow melts and spring emerges, you find that your once pristine shrubs and trees have been devastated by wild rabbits and deer. Your heart sinks as you witness the destruction caused by these seemingly cute and harmless creatures. If only you had taken the necessary precautions to protect your plants! Fortunately, Great Goats Landscaping is here to help you remedy the damage and safeguard your yard from future wildlife devastation.

The Problem: Rabbit and Deer Damage During Winter

During harsh winters, food sources for rabbits and deer become scarce. This forces them to resort to munching on the bark, stems, and branches of your shrubs and trees. This damage can lead to the plants’ decline or even death.

Remedying Damaged Plants

Great Goats Landscaping employs a team of experts that can help you assess the damage and develop a plan to restore the health of your plants. The first step is to prune the damaged branches to encourage new growth. If a plant is too far gone, we may recommend replacing it with a more resistant species. Additionally, we can apply fertilizers and other treatments to support the recovery of your remaining plants.

Preventing Future Damage

To ensure that your yard remains beautiful for years to come, it’s crucial to take preventive measures against unwanted wildlife damage. At Great Goats Landscaping, we offer a range of solutions to deter rabbits, deer, and other wildlife from invading your property.

1. Fencing: A well-designed fence can effectively keep wildlife out of your yard. We can install deer-resistant fencing that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Repellents: Our team can apply safe and environmentally friendly repellents to your shrubs and trees. These products discourage wildlife from feasting on your plants without causing harm to the animals or the environment.
3. Protective Tree Guards: Installing tree guards around the trunks of your trees can prevent rabbits and deer from damaging the bark. Our team can recommend and install the appropriate guards for your specific needs.
4. Plant Selection: Choosing deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant plants can significantly reduce the risk of damage. Our experts can help you select beautiful plants that are less attractive to wildlife.
