Here's how to prepare for hurricane season in Florida. Right now.

Guess what? February is the perfect time to prep your property for hurricane season in Brevard? As the last month of the dry season, February offers ideal conditions for outdoor maintenance and landscaping tasks to fortify your home against potential storms.

February is the ideal time for hurricane preparation in Florida

Here's why you should take action now:

1. Mild weather: February typically brings cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels in Brevard County, creating comfortable conditions for outdoor work. Take advantage of this pleasant weather to tackle essential tasks without the sweltering heat of summer or the threat of storms brewing in the Atlantic.

Prune and trim Florida properties now for storm season.

2. Pruning potential: With the dry season still in full swing, February presents an excellent opportunity for tree and shrub trimming and pruning. By addressing overgrown branches and removing deadwood now, you can enhance the structural integrity of your trees — and minimize the risk of potential storm damage during hurricane season.

Trees can be quite the hazard during a storm.

3. Preventive measures: Proactive property maintenance in February allows you to identify and address potential hazards before they escalate. From clearing gutters and drains to securing outdoor furniture and structures, taking preventive measures now can significantly reduce the likelihood of damage should a hurricane start eyeing the Space Coast.

Spruce up your garden now. The weather's perfect!

4. Landscape enhancement: Beyond hurricane preparedness, February is an ideal time to rejuvenate your landscape. Whether you're refreshing flower beds, mulching garden areas, or installing storm-resistant plants, investing in your property's aesthetic appeal now can enhance its resilience and curb appeal year-round. The Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association claims "landscaping can increase resale value up to 14% and speed a sale by as much as six weeks," according to the University of Florida's Florida Friendly Landscaping Program.
