WinterGreen Golf and Athletic Protection Covers

WinterGreen Winter Protection Blankets are designed to create a cold-weather protective environment for plants that will be adversely affected by winter weather and its corresponding deterioration of vital soil properties. These covers protect nursery stock against deterioration during winter's harsh temperature, wind and moisture extremes.

Not all cold-weather protective covers are alike. Best overall value and performance only result from blankets that provide effective protection and easy installation year after year.

WinterGreen provides better cold-weather protection for plants and shrubs. While serving as an effective barrier against winter elements, WinterGreen permits fresh air and moisture transfer to protective stock. Although soil temperature loss is minimized, WinterGreen prevents dangerous high temperature build-up beneath the cover.

WinterGreen offers all these important performance benefits:

  • Easy installation and storage
  • Reusable
  • Tear resistant
  • Minimizes debris cling
  • Maintains soil temperatures
  • Conserves soil moisture
  • Unaffected by typical pesticides
  • Protects against plant desiccation and air/moisture deprivation
  • Resists sunlight degradation
  • Permeable. Allows irrigation without removing cover
  • Easily blinded with irrigation or rain for protection when temperatures drop below freezing
  • Reduces daily temperature variation around plants (no vent required). Gray in color does not absorb heat
  • Available in 15 foot wide increments cut to specified lengths. Shipped in individual, reusable storage packages

Compare Wintergreen's Turf Covers features and benefits with other so-called "turf covers":

  • Prime Quality: Only first-grade material, proven by nearly a decade of experience. No factory 'seconds' or down-graded material allowed
  • Needlepunched Nonwoven: This process ensures high multi-directional strength, porosity and breathability
