February in Belgium often brings a mix of chilly days, occasional mild spells, and the first subtle signs that spring is on the horizon. While the garden may appear dormant, this is an ideal time for essential maintenance tasks that set the foundation for a healthy, vibrant outdoor space later in the year. As a professional gardening company, Eutradesmen specializes in winter gardening services tailored to the Belgian climate, helping homeowners in Tervuren, Waterloo, and Brussels keep their gardens in top condition year-round.


Why February Is Key for Garden Maintenance in Belgium

Belgium's temperate oceanic climate means February temperatures typically hover between 0°C and 8°C, with potential frosts, rain, and wet soil conditions. This month is perfect for pruning dormant plants, tidying borders, and preparing the ground before the spring growth surge begins. Acting now prevents issues like overgrown shrubs, disease buildup from winter debris, or delayed spring preparations.

Our experienced team handles these tasks efficiently and expertly, ensuring your garden emerges stronger as the days lengthen.


Essential Winter Gardening Services We Provide in February

Pruning and Structural Care

February is one of the best months for pruning in Belgium, as most trees, shrubs, roses, and fruit bushes remain dormant. We perform precise cuts to:


  • Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches

  • Shape plants for better airflow and light penetration

  • Encourage vigorous spring growth and abundant flowering/fruiting


This includes roses, ornamental trees, hedges, and fruit trees such as apples or currants.


Garden Cleanup and Border Maintenance

Clear away winter debris, fallen leaves, and faded perennials to reduce pests and diseases. We tidy borders, mulch where needed, and prepare soil for upcoming planting—essential steps in the often damp Belgian February weather.


Planting Bare-Root Specimens

Take advantage of the dormant season to plant bare-root hedges, trees, roses, or fruit bushes. These establish strong root systems before spring, and our gardening company ensures proper planting techniques suited to local soil conditions.


Early Vegetable Garden Preparations

For vegetable plots, February allows starting seeds indoors or under cover (such as peas, radishes, spinach, or lettuce). We can prepare beds, improve soil structure, and plan layouts for a productive season ahead.


Additional Support Services

We also maintain bird feeders to support local wildlife during cold snaps, check tools and equipment, and offer advice on protecting sensitive plants from late frosts.
