During the summer, the focus shifts to maintaining the landscape through consistent care and monitoring. Lawns need to be mowed regularly, typically once a week, while maintaining an appropriate mowing height to prevent stress during hot weather. Watering should be deep and infrequent, ideally early in the morning, and irrigation systems should be adjusted according to rainfall and temperature. Weed control becomes crucial, especially in garden beds and turf areas, while light fertilization may be needed based on plant type. Deadheading flowers and light pruning of shrubs help promote continued blooming and maintain neatness. Regular inspections for pests and disease ensure early treatment if issues arise. Mulch may need to be fluffed or topped off to keep beds looking fresh and to help soil retain moisture. Any plants that failed to thrive in spring can be replaced as needed.
