The heat is rising, and summer is officially here! Make sure that your commercial property landscape is ready to thrive in the hot summer sun by following these essential maintenance tips.
Proper Irrigation
Proper irrigation systems play a pivotal role in ensuring that plants receive the necessary amount of water to sustain healthy growth and vitality, especially during the scorching and arid conditions of the summer season. By implementing effective irrigation, plants are safeguarded against dehydration and stress, as the consistent and adequate supply of water minimizes the risk of wilting, leaf scorch, and other irreparable damage due to water shortage.
Additionally, irrigation systems help optimize water usage. They deliver water directly to the root zones of plants, minimizing wastage and promoting efficient absorption. This targeted approach not only fosters the development of robust root systems but also mitigates the potential for runoff, saving water resources and benefiting the environment.
At Landscape America, we offer irrigation system installation, care, and repair, to make sure that your lawn receives the necessary amount of water all summer long.
Weed Control
By effectively managing weeds during the summer months, property owners can prevent these unwanted plants from competing with desirable flora for essential resources, such as water and nutrients, which can be limited during high temperatures. Weed control initiatives help preserve the vitality of lawns and garden beds by reducing the strain on existing plants and allowing them to thrive without facing unnecessary competition.
Aside from reducing stress on your existing flora, maintaining a weed-free landscape enhances the visual appeal of your outdoor space. Let us handle your weed control to ensure that your plants aren’t facing unnecessary competition.
Monitor for Heat Stress
Monitoring heat stress in your plants is crucial during the summer months to ensure their longevity. Signs of heat stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, serve as early indicators of potential dehydration and heat damage, necessitating prompt intervention to mitigate the negative effects of high temperatures. By keeping an eye out for these telltale signs, you can proactively respond to the needs of your plants, offering them the necessary support to alleviate heat stress.
Usually adding shade or supplying the plants with an adequate amount of water can help at the first sign of heat stress and prevent permanent damage. Consider adding outdoor structures that can provide shaded areas throughout your landscape or installing an irrigation system that provides a constant watering schedule to protect your plants from the summer heat.
