Summer is the time to get your backyard into shape for BBQs and family parties. This suggests garden upkeep, lawn mowing, getting rid of thatch, weeding and trimming. If you'd like your lawn to look at its best, you have starting a schedule of regularly booked lawn maintenance.
You have some options here; you can do the weeding yourself or hire a pro landscaper to provide grass cropping and gardening services. Looking after your lawn in the summertime is an easy chore with one or two simple pointers
Soaker Hose Work Better Than Sprinklers
When it comes to watering, the most efficient option is a soaker hose. Sprinklers spray water in a specified direction and don’t always soak the roots of plants where water is necessary the most. Also, watering the very tops of leaves and flowers can cause them to burn quicker on the hottest part of the day. The effects are alike to spraying water on while sunbaking.
Water When It Is Cool
The perfect time to water your grass and garden is early in the morning before it gets too hot. You can set a sprinkler with a timer to water at pre-arranged intervals early in the morning and after the sun goes down to prevent burning plants and flowers.
Pull Weeds When They Appear Short
The best time to remove weeds is the instant you see them poking through the dirt or grass. Dandelion roots can grow extremely long and are tricky to remove when left too long. Landscaping with wood chips or bark frequently aid in keeping weeds from over-growing.
No Fertilization during Summer Months
Fertilizing is usually best done in the months before winter due to the chemical elements in the plant food can burn more sensitive plants and grass in warmer temperatures. Fertilize in the later fall months for a lovely green yard by summer.
