Google post ideas for landscaping companies: November to January

Winter work looks different for every landscaper. In the North it is leaf cleanup, snow and dormant pruning. In the South and Southwest it can be cool-season planting and irrigation changes. Pick the ideas that match your services and climate, and post one each week.

How to use this list

Pick one idea a week and rotate the kinds of post: a seasonal tip, a service spotlight, a local post, a customer question, and a real offer only when you have one. Don't run the same kind two weeks in a row.
Only mention services you actually offer and facts you can point to on your own website. No made-up prices, discounts or promises.
Put the point in the first sentence. Name your service and your town once, naturally.
Use one of your own job photos when one fits. Never use a stock photo that pretends to be your work.
Use the Call now or Book button for the next step. Google's posts policy says posts with contact details it can't verify, including phone numbers, may be removed (Google's posts content policy).

November

Leaf cleanup and getting yards ready for winter

Don't let leaves smother your lawn
A thick layer of wet leaves blocks light and can leave dead patches by spring, so now is the time for a cleanup.
Include: One of your own before-and-after cleanup photos and your service area.
What's included in our fall cleanup
List what your crew actually does, like leaf removal, bed cleanup and cutting back perennials, so people know what they are booking.
Include: Your real cleanup checklist from your website and the Book button.
Should I mulch my leaves or bag them?
A light layer can often be mowed into the lawn, but heavy piles should come off, and local yard waste rules vary.
Include: Your own advice for local lawns and a note on how you haul debris, if you do.
Winterize your sprinklers before a hard freeze
Water left in lines can freeze and crack pipes, so homeowners should shut off the water and leave the blowout to a pro with the right equipment.
Include: Your irrigation winterizing service, if you offer it, and your town.
Protect young trees and shrubs from winter
Mulch rings, wraps and burlap screens can help young or exposed plants handle wind, sun and road salt.
Include: A photo of plants you protected and the winter prep services you offer.
Holiday-ready curb appeal
Before Thanksgiving guests arrive, tidy beds, fresh edges and a clean walk make a home look cared for.
Include: Your city name, a photo of a tidy front yard you maintain, and holiday lighting only if you offer it.
The last mow of the season
The final mow and cleanup help the lawn go into winter in good shape, and the right height depends on the grass type.
Include: Your mowing service and a note to ask you about the best height for local lawns.

December

Snow, salt, holiday lights and dormant-season care

How our snow removal service works
Explain how you handle storms, like when your crew heads out and what areas you clear, so customers know what to expect.
Include: Post this only if you offer snow removal, using the terms from your own contracts.
Holiday lights: install and takedown
Many homeowners would rather skip the ladder, so show the lighting work you do and when you take it down after the holidays.
Include: Post this only if you offer lighting, with photos of real displays you installed.
De-icing salt and your plants
Salt from walks and driveways can harm lawn edges and beds, so pile salty snow away from plants and ask about plant-friendlier options.
Include: A photo of a walkway border you maintain and your winter services.
Why winter is a good time to prune many plants
With leaves gone it is easier to see branch structure, but some spring-flowering shrubs should wait until after they bloom.
Include: Your pruning service, and a reminder that big limbs and ladder or saw work are a job for a trained crew.
Can I plant anything in winter?
In mild areas winter can be a fine time for cool-season flowers and some trees and shrubs, while in cold areas it is a time to plan.
Include: The planting services you offer in your climate and a photo of a real install.
Give the gift of a yard service
A cleanup or maintenance visit can make a useful gift for parents or neighbors who need help with yard work.
Include: Post this only if you offer gift certificates, plus your service area.
Holiday crew schedule and a thank-you for a full season
Let customers know your holiday schedule and thank them for a good season.
Include: Your confirmed holiday hours, and a real offer only if you actually run one.

January

Plan spring now and care for the yard through winter

Book your spring design consult now
January is when many homeowners start thinking about spring, and planning early gives time for design and ordering plants.
Include: Your city name, a photo of a finished design, and the Book button.
Storm damage in the yard: what to do first
Stay away from hanging limbs and downed power lines, take photos, and call a pro instead of cutting broken limbs yourself.
Include: Your cleanup service, and tree work only if you are trained and set up for it.
Patios, walls and walkways in the off-season
Hardscape work can often move ahead in winter when the weather allows, so the yard is ready to use by spring.
Include: Post this only if you build hardscapes, with photos of your own projects.
Bare trees show your yard's sun and shade
Winter is a good time to notice where the sun falls and where water collects, which helps plan the right plants for each spot.
Include: A winter photo of a yard and an invite to plan a spring project with you.
Stay off frosty or frozen lawns
Walking on frosted grass can damage it and leave marks that show later, so a simple tip helps customers protect their lawn.
Include: A frosty lawn photo and your lawn care service.
Cool weather means less water
In warm-winter areas, lawns and plants need less water in winter, so adjusting the sprinkler timer saves water and helps plants.
Include: Your irrigation service and a note to follow local watering rules.
Year-round maintenance plans
Signing up for the year now takes care of spring cleanup, mowing and fall work without having to book each one.
Include: Your real plan options from your website and the Book button.

Where you are changes the list

Cold-winter areas

November is about leaf cleanup, sprinkler winterizing and protecting plants from wind and salt. December and January bring snow work and dormant pruning for companies that offer them. Use January to book spring cleanups, designs and maintenance plans.

Warm-winter areas

In the South, Gulf Coast, Florida, the Southwest and coastal California, winter can be a planting season for cool-season flowers, and some warm-season lawns are overseeded. Cooler weather is also the time to cut back watering and check sprinkler coverage. Swap snow and freeze posts for planting, irrigation and frost protection on cold nights.

Pacific Northwest

The rainy season brings soggy lawns, moss and standing water. Posts about drainage, keeping off wet soil and planning beds that handle heavy rain fit well. Pruning and cleanup can continue between storms.

Questions customers ask this time of year

Is it too late for a fall cleanup?: Usually not. Clearing leaves and debris before snow or heavy rain still helps your lawn and beds in spring. If the ground is already covered in snow, we can plan a spring cleanup instead.
When should I start planning spring landscaping?: Now is a good time. Winter gives time to talk through ideas, draw up a plan and order plants and materials. That way the work can start as soon as the weather allows.

Ideas only: every real post should use your own services, town and details. Written by FreshMap, 2026-10-17.
