Landscaping Reminders
Posted on Jul 24th, 2024
Proper lawn and garden care enhances the appearance of our neighborhood and helps keep property values high. With more than a few homes on the market, we can all benefit from some additional attention to detail with landscaping. Here are some essential landscaping reminders to keep our community looking its best:
1. Weekly Lawn Mowing
During the warm spring and hot summer months, our lawns thrive and grow rapidly. To keep them looking neat and healthy, please mow your lawns once a week. Regular mowing encourages denser growth, prevents weeds, and helps the grass withstand the summer heat. Remember to keep your mower blades sharp and set at the appropriate height for your type of grass.
2. Bi-Weekly Edging
Edging your lawn and garden beds every two weeks makes a significant difference in the overall appearance of your property. Neatly edged lawns and garden beds give a polished, well-maintained look that enhances curb appeal. Use a string trimmer or an edger to define the boundaries between your lawn, driveways, and walkways.
3. Weed Removal
Weeds can quickly take over if left unchecked. Please take the time to remove weeds from your planters, driveway cracks, and walkway cracks. Regular weeding not only improves the appearance of your garden but also ensures that your plants receive the nutrients and water they need. Consider using mulch in your garden beds to suppress weed growth and retain soil moisture.
4. Watering Your Lawn
Proper watering is crucial during the hot summer months. Water your lawn deeply, aiming for about one inch of water per week, including rainfall. Early morning is the best time to water, as it reduces evaporation and allows your lawn to absorb the moisture before the heat of the day. Be mindful of any local watering restrictions and adjust your schedule accordingly.
Additional Tips
Fertilization: Applying a balanced fertilizer can give your lawn the nutrients it needs to stay green and healthy throughout the summer.
Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests that can damage your lawn and garden. Use environmentally friendly pest control methods whenever possible.
Trimming Bushes and Trees: Regularly trim bushes and trees to maintain their shape and prevent overgrowth.
Thank you for your cooperation and dedication to keeping Bent Creek a wonderful place to live.
