With summer just around the corner, the last thing you want is to scramble with landscaping tasks once the warm weather hits. To ensure your outdoor space is ready for the season, there are a few key projects you should complete in advance. Here’s a checklist to get your landscape in top shape before summer begins.

1. Irrigation System Check-Up

An efficient irrigation system saves both time and effort in maintaining your lawn. During the hot summer months, your plants and grass can dry out quickly, making an irrigation system a vital addition for your property. Once installed, it’s crucial to have a professional inspect and activate your system as temperatures rise. Since irrigation systems are typically winterized in the fall, it's important to make sure everything is functioning properly to ensure consistent and efficient watering throughout the summer.

2. Aerate the Soil

Over time, the soil in your landscape can become compacted, making it harder for water and nutrients to penetrate the roots of your plants. Aerating the soil before summer arrives will help improve water absorption and encourage healthier growth. Whether your property includes lawns, gardens, or trees, working with a professional landscaping team will ensure that your space is properly aerated and ready to thrive in the warmer months.

3. Apply Mulch and Fertilizer

Before weeds start to emerge and compete with your plants, applying mulch and fertilizer is essential for healthy flower beds and garden areas. This not only provides your plants with the necessary nutrients but also helps to retain moisture during the hotter days. A landscaping expert can efficiently apply these treatments, leaving you free to focus on other aspects of your business.
