It’s the beginning of the summer season, and it’s the ideal time to address lawn care maintenance. With the summer months presenting many opportunities for outdoor parties and time with family in the open air, Calgary homeowners can create the perfect outdoor environment by committing to landscaping. In this post, our trusted team looks at three summer landscaping tips.
1. Take Time to Evaluate Heat Sensitive Plants
Some plants are more susceptible than others to damage from the sun during the summer months. It’s important for local homeowners to review their plants and determine which ones require the most protection while the temperatures rise. Flower beds, newly planted perennials and lawn areas are usually among the lawn elements most harmed by heat.
2. Check for Signs of Dehydration
Dehydration in plants and grass is common during the warmer months when rainwater levels are low. Homeowners should check lawn spaces regularly for the signs of potential dehydration. These signs can include the following:
·Slow growth
·Bent over stems
·Yellowing leaves
3. Use Mulch Effectively
Homeowners should also learn to use mulch effectively. Mulch helps to prevent the growth of weeds that soak up water meant for plants. The use of mulch also ensures roots are protected from the intense heat of the summer sun.
