Tree, shrub and lawn care to keep your landscaping healthy and hydrated
Irrigation Efficiency: Ensure sprinkler heads and related water lines are working properly and that the irrigation system provides sufficient coverage. Low water pressure will affect coverage.
Water Restrictions Awareness: Become familiar with any local watering restrictions related to lawn care. Light watering too often is not as effective as a slow, thorough watering (about one inch) once or twice a week, optimally in the early morning. Adjust watering times and cycles if needed to provide for one inch of water.
Pest Problems: Undiagnosed infestation of lawn insects and build up of mites and insects on shrubs can also enhance the risk of plants' susceptibility to further decline from drought conditions. Ask a lawn care professional, such as TruGreen about , today.
Feed: Lawns, trees and shrubs require proper nutrition to encourage healthy growth and the ability to recover from drought damage. Use a trained professional lawn care company, such as TruGreen, that offers customized lawn care and based on the specific needs of the homeowner's region.
Mowing Schedule: Mow grass as needed and not as a scheduled weekly lawn care chore. Avoid mowing in the heat of day or if the lawn is extremely dry to allow the lawn to bounce back during the cooler temperatures of night. To help promote moisture retention and to prevent shock, disease and insects, do not cut more than one-third of the grass leaf blade and mow at the highest recommended height for your grass type.
Mulch: Return grass clippings to the soil for added lawn nutrients. Apply three inches of organic mulch to base of shrubs and trees to help conserve soil moisture and to reduce weed pressure, but be mindful not to cover the trunk flare of the tree base.
