1. Watering One of the most important tasks during the summer is ensuring your plants receive an adequate amount of water. The heat and sun can quickly dry out the soil, so be sure to water your garden regularly. In the early morning or late evening is the best time to water to prevent evaporation.
2. Mulching Mulching is essential to help retain moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth. Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to help regulate soil temperature and reduce water evaporation. Guzman's Landscaping Services recommends using organic mulch such as wood chips or shredded leaves for best results.
3. Pruning Regular pruning is important to keep your plants healthy and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas to promote air circulation. Pruning also helps improve the overall appearance of your garden.
4. Fertilizing During the summer months, plants are actively growing and consuming nutrients at a faster rate. To ensure your plants have the nutrients they need to thrive, it's important to fertilize regularly. Guzman's Landscaping Services can recommend the right type of fertilizer for your specific plants and soil conditions.
5. Pest Control Summer is also prime time for pesky pests to invade your garden. Keep an eye out for signs of insect damage and treat infestations promptly. Guzman's Landscaping Services can provide eco-friendly pest control solutions to keep your plants healthy without harming beneficial insects.
