Do I need to shovel snow off plants from a landscape company?

Usually, no. Most plants in Salt Lake and Davis Counties can tolerate snow cover, and in fact, snow acts as insulation against extreme cold. The main risk comes from heavy, wet snow that can break branches on evergreens or ornamental trees. In those cases, gently brushing snow off with a broom can prevent damage. Avoid shaking or hitting branches, as this may cause more breakage. For larger shrubs, some homeowners use burlap wraps or temporary supports to protect against snow load. A good landscaper will advise which plants in your yard may need extra protection. For most plantings, leaving snow in place is safe and beneficial.
