As summer approaches, it’s time to give your landscape the attention it deserves. C&C Tree and Landscaping Solutions is here to provide you with essential tips to keep your outdoor space looking its best during the hottest months.

Water Smartly:

The key to maintaining a lush lawn and healthy plants in the summer is efficient watering. Water early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation. Consider installing an irrigation system with a timer for consistent and even watering.

Mulch Matters:

Adding a layer of mulch to your garden beds can help retain moisture, reduce weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Choose organic mulches like wood chips or bark that decompose and add nutrients to the soil.

Mow Correctly:

Keep your lawn mower blades sharp and set the height to about 3 inches. Longer grass blades shade the soil, reducing water loss and protecting the roots from the sun’s intense heat.

Fertilize Wisely:

Summer isn’t the time for heavy fertilizing. Use a slow-release fertilizer to avoid burning your lawn and plants. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive growth that demands more water.

Prune with Care:

Summer is an ideal time to trim dead or damaged branches from trees and shrubs. However, avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress plants during high temperatures. Focus on shaping and removing any limbs that may be a hazard.

Pest and Disease Watch:

Hot, dry conditions can attract pests and diseases. Keep an eye out for signs of infestations and treat them promptly with eco-friendly solutions.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a vibrant and healthy landscape all summer long. For expert care and personalized solutions, trust C&C Tree and Landscaping Solutions to help you maintain your outdoor space.
