Summer Landscaping Maintenance

Whether you hired a professional landscaping company to do your spring landscaping or you did it yourself, it’s important to keep it maintained throughout the summer season. As we’re already in the middle of the summer, there are chores to be done to keep your landscaping looking pristine.

Here are 5 ways to keep your landscape maintained throughout the summer season.

1 – Control the Weeds in Your Garden

If you have multiple flower and plant beds around your property, it’s important to keep and eye on the weeds. Weeds can pop-up here and there throughout the summer season, and they can look rather ugly and crowded in your gardens. If originally laid the groundwork for weed control when you landscaped in the spring, it doesn’t mean that you won’t get any weeds at all.

2 – Maintain Shrubs & Plants

If you have new shrubs or plants, it’s important to make sure they’re healthy. Keep an eye out for insects and diseases. Make sure that you’re trimming and pruning the shrubs and plants that require it as needed.

3 – Don’t Skip-Out on Watering

Watering your garden and even your lawn is extremely important during the summer season. The summer can bring some bad heat and high temperatures over long periods of time. Sometimes, drought can occur, which is when you need to stay on top of your watering routine.

4 – Lawn Care is Crucial

Keeping a routine mowing schedule is important for the health of your lawn. Never mow your lawn to low during the summer months because with the hot temperatures and the low grass, this can cause damages.

5 – Leave the Grass Clippings!

This is something many homeowners do not follow. Once you’re done with cutting your lawn, leave the grass clippings scattered out on the grass. This is a natural fertilizer for your lawn that can give your lawn the nutrients it needs to stay healthy throughout the summer season.
