We’re now entering the summer season, and it’s a time of year that brings intense heat that can be a burden for your grass and plants. Knowing how to take care of your yard during these times is vital so that your greenery makes it into the fall season, when temperatures become more manageable. Here are some landscaping tips that we recommend you use this summer.

Keep Your Lawn and Plants Hydrated

The hotter the weather gets, the more water your lawn and plants are going to need. This means that watering your lawn and plants becomes more important than ever during the summer, and it should be one of the main landscaping tasks you get done throughout the season.

We recommend less frequent, but deeper, waterings for your landscape. If you’re not looking to invest the time into watering your landscape on your own, you could use a sprinkler system instead. Many sprinkler systems can get programmed to water your yard effectively throughout the summer.

Make Sure to Apply Fertilizer

When summer heat is affecting your yard, fertilization is an essential landscaping task to complete. There are many kinds of fertilizer that you could consider using. As such, it’s best to consult a professional landscaping company for advice on what the best fertilizers to use are. If temperatures get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, we advise that you refrain from applying fertilizer at all.

Keep Up With Pest Control

There are many kinds of critters and insects that could turn your landscape messy. Some critters can even cause damage to your yard, making it necessary to make pest control one of your primary summer landscaping tasks.

Look into some safe and organic pesticides that you can use on your lawn. If you’re not sure of what pesticides could work, you could always consult a professional landscaping company for advice. You could even get professional assistance with the application of this pesticide. By doing this, you keep unwanted critters from causing any damage to your lawn, which helps to improve overall lawn health.
