Nursing Hail-Damaged Plants Back to Health
No landscaping project
is complete without plants, whether those are flowers, trees, shrubs, or a combination of the three. Unfortunately, here in Minnesota, we’re no strangers to strong summer storms—and the damage to our greenery that can result. We haven’t been walloped yet this season (knock on wood), but preparation is key. How can you prepare for these storms to mitigate the damage, and how can you help your plants thrive afterward?
Preparation for a Hail Storm
Minneapolis gets, on average, 10 hailstorms per year
. With those odds, it’s best to be prepared.

After the Hail Storm
Maybe you weren’t able to get out ahead of the storm, and now your poor hostas and tomato plants have holey leaves. There’s no real fix for this sort of damage, but you can help your plants bounce back.
Hail-damaged hostas.
We can’t control the weather, but we can control how we prepare for and respond to severe weather events. By covering delicate plants before storms and taking steps to lessen damage after, you can preserve your flowers, trees, and shrubs for another season. And if you’re looking to change up your landscaping to better guard against storms, we here at KG Landscape are happy to help. Give us a call at 763-568-7251 or use our quote system to get in touch.
