Summer Lawn Care Essentials
Summer brings warmth and growth, but also potential stress from heat and drought. Your focus shifts to maintaining health, hydration, and protection against pests and diseases.
Grub Control: Apply a preventative grub control product in early summer to stop these root-munching pests before they cause significant damage to your lawn.
Disease Treatment: Monitor your lawn for signs of common summer lawn diseases like brown patch or rust. If detected, specialized treatments can be applied to prevent further spread and promote recovery.
Soil Enhancer Treatment: Improve your soil's overall health and ability to retain water and nutrients with specialized soil enhancement treatments. This can help your lawn better withstand summer stress.
Perimeter Pest Control: Create a protective barrier around your home to deter outdoor pests from entering. While not directly for the lawn, it's a common add-on service during summer to keep your outdoor space more enjoyable.
Mosquito Control: Implement targeted treatments to reduce mosquito populations in your yard, making your outdoor living spaces more comfortable during summer evenings.
Flea and Tick Control: If you have pets or spend a lot of time outdoors, a service to control fleas and ticks in your lawn can significantly reduce your exposure to these pests.
Tree & Shrub Care: Extend your lawn care efforts to the surrounding landscape by offering services like fertilization, pest control, and disease management for trees and shrubs.
Irrigation System Checks & Adjustments: While you mentioned "Sprinkler Start-Up," regular checks and adjustments of the irrigation system throughout the summer are crucial to ensure optimal water distribution as weather conditions change. This can include checking for leaks, clogged heads, and adjusting watering times.
