Our warm, hot and humid weather is upon us! As we move into June we really begin to see an end to our rains and by July we typically see semi-drought conditions. Plants, trees and shrubs will stay looking their best with a little care and maintenance.

• Install Seasonal Color for summer if you have not already.
• Regular maintenance of your flowerbeds will keep everything under control.
• The importance of an irrigation schedule cannot be stressed. Proper irrigation will keep your garden looking its best all summer. If you are not getting the best performance from your existing system then it might be time to upgrade or automate your sprinkler system. Old, outdated sprinkler systems waste water. If you are unsure, please call us to schedule a check of your system.
• Choosing shrubs that are drought and heat tolerate is very important not only for their survival but also for your investment. One of our Landscape Consultants can help you choose the right shrubs for your property.
• Aerate and dethatch your lawn. This will encourage deep rooting, increase water penetration, and reduce runoff. Contact us for information on how we can help maintain your lawn.
• Apply mulch to your landscape as needed to control weeds and preserve moisture.
• Watch for disease and harmful insects in lawn and plant beds and treat as necessary. Japanese Beetles flourish in June and July and prefer plants exposed to direct sunlight.
