We’ve added a few more simple landscaping tips that will get your home looking its absolute best this summer. 

Don’t Let the Pests Stay

The infestation of pests can pose a bigger threat to your landscaping than you might think. It’s important to be proactive to keep them from damaging your lawns and gardens. This can include purchasing a safe, organic pesticide or taking preventative measures with your garden design. 

Keep An Eye Out For Weeds

Weeds, like pests, can also have a detrimental effect on your landscape. They can steal nutrients and moisture from your grass and other plant life, which will eventually kill them. It’s important to take care of them as soon as you see them emerging.

Make a Mowing Schedule

Regular mowing is critical to proper lawn care. Depending on the season and how fast your grass grows, it’s always important to make a schedule to stay on top of this task. Whether it be once a week or multiple times a week, keep in mind grass needs to stay at a certain level to fight off drought and other lawn hazards.

Feed and Fertilize 

Want to have your lawn looking lavish green this summer? Fertilizers that are high in nitrogen will be sure to help you achieve that goal. They not only will turn your grass into your desired green color, but they help with growth, thickness, and overall health. 

Keep it Hydrated

It’s essential to water your lawn regularly, especially during the summer months when temperatures are high. Installing a sprinkler for your yard can be a great investment if you set it up correctly. Just be sure to avoid watering during the hottest parts of the day because the water will evaporate before it reaches the roots.

Improving your landscape is a great way to help sell your home and increase its value. These five simple tips will give your property an eye-catching appearance and have it looking its best all summer long. Then, when you’re ready, give our team a call.
