Five Star Tree Care
When the weather begins to get colder, this can be a dangerous time for trees. There are many reasons how the cold and other elements during winter can harm your trees and surrounding landscape. This also means that there are many ways in which you can help prevent any unfortunate accidents due to the weather.
Some of the most common reasons trees can get damaged from the cold weather are as follows:
-Root damage
-Extensive bark
-Core chewing from pests
We here at Five Star Tree Services want to provide you with the right information on how to help prevent winter tree damage.
Root Damage Prevention
Unlike the rest of the tree, which includes the stems, branches, and buds, the roots are the last part of the tree to go dormant for the winter. This means that they are more vulnerable when the weather takes a sharp cold turn. The reason this tends to happen is that the soil temperatures stay warmer than the air, hence why the branches go dormant first and the roots take longer.
There are also a number of different things that dictate soil temperatures. For instance, dry soil gets colder quicker than sodden soil. Making it so that there is more ice present in sandy or dry soils, which is how it gets colder in temperature.
If you want your soil temperatures to be higher, mulch and snow can help insulate the ground and keep it sheltered from the harsher elements. If you have recently planted a tree, the disturbed soil will now allow cold air to get at the roots, which will hinder any root development or even kill newly grown roots.
How To Prevent
For newly planted trees, you should cover the roots with 3-4 inches of wood mulch. The best thing to do is make a 6-inch circle surrounding the base of your tree but make sure to keep it away from the trunk. Doing this is going to help support the tree during the winter and help stop unusual roots from growing. Before you lay your mulch down, you should also be checking for holes or breaks in the soil and fill them in before laying your mulch down. In the fall and spring, the soil is continuously being defrosted and refreezing again. This makes the soil contract and expand and can hurt newly planted roots. It can also be enough to push them out of the ground completely! Making mulch even more important since it can provide more consistent temperatures in the soil.
If you are experiencing a dry fall with little to no rain happening, you need to give your tree a really good watering before the ground starts to freeze. Doing this is going to lower the risk of your tree getting infiltrated by ice or frost.
Pest Damage Prevention
There are plenty of things that can harm your trees when the weather turns cold. Some of these other things include:
-Sunscald
-Dieback
-Brown evergreen foliage
-Salt damage
But aside from weather related ailments, you also need to worry about the damage done by certain pests as well. This can include:
-Mice
-Hares
-Voles
-Deer
These seemingly harmless animals are known to do major damage to plants during the winter when they are foraging on things like twigs, bark, stems, and leaves. They have even been known to completely eat bushes, right to the ground, and kill trees when they destroy their bark. One of the only ways to prevent animals from chewing on the bark is by building barriers around your trees in order to keep the pests from getting at them. Luckily, making these barriers isn’t as hard as you might be thinking. There are numerous potions for you to choose from that are easy to assemble and disassemble that you can find at your local garden center or landscaping stores.

Elegant Showers
Welcome to our blog post on the ultimate guide to corner showers. We are thrilled to have you here and excited to share comprehensive information about this popular bathroom fixture. Corner showers have recently gained popularity due to their space-saving benefits and stylish designs. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know about corner showers, including their advantages, how to choose the right one, installation process, maintenance tips, styling ideas, and frequently asked questions. We aim to help you make an informed decision and create a beautiful and functional bathroom space.
I. What is a Corner Shower?
A corner shower is a type of shower enclosure specifically designed to fit into the corner of a bathroom. Unlike traditional showers located against a wall, corner showers utilize unused corner space, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms of all sizes. They are available in various styles and designs, such as square, curved, and neo-angle, allowing you to choose one that matches your aesthetic preferences.
One of the key advantages of corner showers is their space-saving benefits. By utilizing the corner space, they maximize the floor area in your bathroom, creating a more spacious and open feel. This is especially beneficial for smaller bathrooms or tight spaces where every inch matters. Additionally, corner showers can enhance the overall aesthetics of your bathroom, adding a modern and sleek touch to the space.
II. Advantages of Corner Showers:
There are several advantages to installing a corner shower in your bathroom. Let's take a closer look at some of them:
Utilization of Unused Corner Space: One of the biggest advantages of corner showers is their ability to utilize the often-underutilized corner space in the bathroom. By installing a corner shower, you can make the most of every square inch and create a more functional and efficient bathroom layout.
Maximized Floor Area: Corner showers help maximize the floor area in your bathroom, as they do not take up as much space as traditional showers. This is particularly beneficial for smaller bathrooms or bathrooms with limited space, allowing you more room for other fixtures or storage.
Improved Aesthetics: Corner showers offer any bathroom a modern and stylish look. Their unique design and placement add a touch of sophistication and elegance to the space, making it more visually appealing. With various styles and designs available, you can choose a corner shower that complements your bathroom decor.
Accessibility Options for Small Bathrooms or Tight Spaces: For individuals with mobility issues or those using a wheelchair, corner showers provide accessibility options that may be limited to traditional showers. The compact design and easy access make it more convenient for individuals with limited mobility to use the shower comfortably.
III. Choosing the Right Corner Shower:
Selecting the right corner shower for your bathroom requires careful consideration of various factors. Here are some practical tips to help you make the right choice:
Consider Available Space and Measurements: Before purchasing a corner shower, measuring the available space accurately is crucial. Consider the dimensions of the corner where you plan to install the shower and ensure enough clearance for the door to open and close comfortably.
Evaluate Different Layouts: Corner showers come in different layouts, including square, curved, and neo-angle. Each layout has advantages and considerations, so evaluating which suits your bathroom and personal preferences best is important. Square layouts offer a more modern and streamlined look, while curved layouts provide a softer and more contemporary feel. Neo-angle layouts are ideal for compact spaces and provide a unique and stylish look.
Assess Material Options: Corner showers are available in various materials, including glass, acrylic, and tile. Each material has pros and cons, so assessing your requirements and preferences is essential. Glass corner showers offer a sleek and luxurious appearance. In contrast, acrylic showers are more affordable and easier to maintain. Tile showers provide endless design possibilities but require more maintenance to keep the grout clean and intact.
Explore Additional Features: Consider the additional features you may want in your corner shower, such as shower doors, shelves, or built-in benches. Shower doors can add a touch of elegance and prevent water from splashing outside the shower enclosure. Shelves are convenient for storing shower essentials, and built-in benches provide comfortable seating.
IV. Installation Process:
Installing a corner shower requires careful planning and execution. While hiring a professional for the installation is recommended, understanding the general steps involved can help you better understand the process. Here is an overview of the installation process:
Preparing the Space and Measuring Accurately:
- Start by preparing the space where the corner shower will be installed.
- Remove any existing fixtures or obstructions and ensure the walls and floor are clean and smooth.
- Take accurate corner measurements and note them down for reference during the installation.
- Clean your corner shower regularly to prevent the buildup of soap scum, mould, or mildew.
- Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the walls, floor, and glass surfaces.
- Pay special attention to the corners and crevices where dirt can accumulate.
