Give Your Landscape a More Vibrant Look!
So summer is fast approaching, and you’ll like to maintain the lawn in your home and reap all the accompanying benefits of having nature bloom around you. But it appears summer might not be the best time of the year to spread your grass seeds, given the increased environmental heat and its adverse effect on plant growth. Whatever the odds, whether it’s the explosion of soil heat, drier soils, reduced soil fertility, or weed encroachment, here are 3 brilliant quality landscaping tips for this summer season to follow for a more vibrant environment:
Water at the Right Time
Mornings are the best time of the day to water your lawn in summer. Watering your lawn is best done at the coolest hours of the day when the soil is cold, to allow plant roots ample time for moisture absorption. If you water at later periods, a more significant portion of the water will be lost to evaporation as the soil becomes hotter.
Mow Regularly
It takes the right amount of routine care for any lawn or garden to maintain a desirable appearance. Mowing is one such gardening routine that ensures your turf grass thrives as naturally and consistently as possible. When mowing your lawn, set the mower’s blade high enough to avoid cutting the turf grass too low, thereby exposing it to excess sunshine and heat.
Conduct Inspections
Another important aspect to keep in mind during the late summer is the possibility of pests and disease. While inspecting your landscape for weeds, you can also inspect it for pests and signs of disease. White powder on plants could be a sign of a fungus. White cotton-like growth could indicate a pest. Although pests and diseases can both be treated, it’s important to catch them in the early stages.
