Posted on: 11 May 2020

As the weather gets warmer, you may not be looking forward to the maintenance that needs to be done in landscaping. However, good landscaping care will help prevent problems with weeds taking over your lawn, insects invading your garden, and other pests getting closer to your home. Therefore, you want to make sure that you stay on top of the maintenance that needs to be done to your landscaping this summer. The following summer landscaping maintenance guide will help ensure you do not have to worry when the weather gets warmer:

1. Proper Spring Lawn Care To Help Keep The Weeds Out Of Your Lawn

Getting an early start to lawn care in the spring can help prevent serious problems with weeds taking over grassy lawns. To prevent these problems, first, you want to make sure the grass has been fertilized and aerated. In addition, overseeding can help prevent weed growth by suffocating them out of the turf. You can talk to your lawn maintenance service about selective weed treatments to deal with some of the common weeds and invasive grass species in your area.

2. Dealing With Ants, Termites and Other Insects That Invade As Weather Gets Warmer

Ants are another problem that you will want to keep under control during the summer months. Ants, termites, and other insects will be looking for water and food as the weather gets warmer. Therefore, you want to make sure that you treat infestations early to keep them away. You may want to also talk to your lawn care service about applying treatments and installing bate traps to help keep annoying insects out of your landscaping during the hot summer weather.

3. Invasive Plants That Need To Be Taken Care Of 

There are also a lot of invasive plants that can cause problems during the summer months. Sometimes, these are plants like ivy that are added to landscaping designs but can quickly grow out of control and even cause damage to your home. Therefore, you will want to have your landscaping maintenance service to help care for the invasive plants or remove them from your landscaping design.

4. Caring For Trees and Keeping Pests Like Birds, Squirrels And Other Animals Away 

Trees can also bring pests and need to be cared for in the spring to promote healthy growth. In addition, you want to do improvements that will help prevent problems with rodents like squirrels and birds that are pests like pigeons. Talk with your lawn service about solutions like installing deterrents that will help keep these pests away from your home in warmer weather.
