• Plant new colorful flowers
• Grow some vegetables
• Add professional outdoor lighting
• Schedule pest control service
• Water your lawn in the early mornings

Summertime is a great time to “spruce up” your home’s lawn, flower beds, and garden. There are many easy ways you can make your yard colorful and comforting. Here are 5 ways to improve your summer landscape for a more enjoyable outdoor experience.

First, you can plant some new colorful flowers throughout your front and back yards. Colorful summertime flowers to consider include Alliums (onion flower), Begonias, Black-eyed Susans, Coneflower, Daisies, Endless Summer Hydrangeas, and Lilies. Alliums are normally purple or white and work best placed towards the back of a garden bed (as they can get quite tall). Black-eyed Susans are perennials so you can enjoy them all year long! Keeping your garden pollinated can start with planting some Coneflowers. One of the most popular Summer flower is the Endless Summer Hydrangea, which can tolerate sun to part shade.

Another way to improve your summer landscape is to grow some vegetables. Maybe consider tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and carrots. It is nice option for adding another point of interest in your yard. Growing vegetables can be fun for the whole family! Even the kids can help and learn about vegetable growth as well as how to also save some money on groceries.

A third way to improve your landscape this summer is to add lighting to your front and back yards. Adequate lighting makes your home more inviting and visually appealing. It also adds to your home’s security at night. Add some lights to the back yard and socialize leisurely throughout the evening with friends and family.

A fourth way to make your yard more comfortable for Summer is to call and schedule pest control service. Pests, such as ants, armyworms, fleas, hornets & wasps, mole crickets, and mosquitoes all can cause issues in your family’s yard. A good, local, certified pest control company can take care of these and other bugs. Then, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the outside air anytime this summer. Your lawn will also be more enjoyable for your pets.

Lastly, an easy way to improve and maintain a lush lawn is to water in the early mornings. Watering your plants first thing is the best time all day. This way your plants will best be able to absorb everything. Water evaporates too quickly if you water at the hottest part of the day. A lesson learned by many!

In summary ( No pun intended! :) ), Summer is an appropriate time to continue caring for your yard. Our 5 suggested ways will certainly improve the health and comfort of your lawn and garden. Implement these options in staggered phases or one by one as you have time.

We hope you’re able to improve upon your home’s landscape this Summer. And have fun while doing so!
