Hurricane Sandy Takes Its Toll on Lawns

John Mitty Monday, April 22, 2013

Long Island residents thought they had discovered all the damage created by Hurricane Sandy, but some of the superstorm’s harm didn’t become obvious until now.  Why?  Because in wintertime, it’s hard to tell a dead tree or shrub from a living one.  But now that springtime is upon us, it is becoming obvious just how many plants were killed by the hurricane.  Lawn features which residents expect to start turning green and blossoming this time of year are remaining brown and grey and dead.

Why are all these plants dead?  The hurricane brought a lot of saltwater onto land, and it turns out that plants are not able to thrive in a saltwater soil environment.  With the soil contaminated, many have died.  Garden centers and landscaping artists can expect to have a busy and productive year helping homeowners, businesses and even government clients to rejuvenate lawns and gardens and plant new shrubs, flowers and trees to replace those which have perished.  If you’re looking out your window wondering when your trees are going to start turning green again, you may not want to wait much longer before you hire a landscaper to help you to replenish your lawn and save the plants which can be saved.
