Summer Checklist for Your Property: What Needs to Be Done (and What We Can Handle For You)

Summer Checklist for Your Property: What Needs to Be Done (and What We Can Handle For You)

Summer Landscaping – As summer arrives, your yard becomes the centerpiece of your property—and keeping it in top shape takes more than a little effort. From keeping grass trimmed and green to keeping weeds at bay and flower gardens looking their best, summer yard care can become a big job. But it doesn’t have to be your job.

Summer Landscaping Checklist: What Needs to Be Done

 

Here’s a breakdown of what needs to be done at your property this summer – but that doesn’t mean you have to do it…

Lawn Care & Mowing (Weekly or Bi-Weekly)

Grass grows fast in the summer heat. Consistent mowing at the proper height keeps it growing thick, healthy, and more weed-resistant.

Edging & Trimming

Cutting and maintaining clean lines around walkways, landscaping beds, and driveways makes a major impact on how tidy your yard looks (curb appeal). Regular edging keeps things sharp and polished, and makes the rest of your landscaping look better.

Weeding

Anybody with a yard knows that weeds can take over quickly. Summer requires frequent weeding to protect your garden beds and keep plantings looking as planned – not overrun.

Mulching & Touch-Ups

A fresh layer of mulch does more than look good – it helps retain soil moisture and nutrients, and prevents weeds. Summer is a great time to put down a fresh layer of mulch or refresh any fading spots.

Summer Landscaping Pruning & Shrub Trimming

Overgrown shrubs can block windows, walkways, or even cause plant health issues. It’s also bad for your house to have plantings too close to the building. Seasonal trimming keeps your plants shapely and thriving.

Plant Health & Pest Monitoring

From beetles to blight, summer is peak time for pests and other plant stressors. Spotting issues early can save your landscape from costly damage.

Seasonal Flower & Container Care

Containers and annuals need a lot of attention through the summer, including regular deadheading, watering, and feeding to keep blooming strong through the season.

How Our Summer Landscaping Plan Takes the Work Off Your Plate

We’ve created a seasonal service package that handles all the summer essentials – so you can actually enjoy your outdoor space instead of spending every weekend working on it!

We designed our Summer Landscaping Plan to take care of every item on this list – so you don’t have to. We’re flexible too – choose from three levels of Plans – from just the necessities to all the things:

• Spring Clean-Up
• Lawn Dethatching
• Edging
• Mulching
• Weeding
• Shrub Pruning
• Mowing
• Lawn Aeration
• Over-Seeding
• Fall Clean-Up

Our team shows up, does the work, and leaves your yard looking fresh, clean, and summer-fun ready. No mosquito riddled evening mowing, no scrambling to find time to get your yard ready for a weekend BBQ – you’ll know it’s all handled.
