Essential Summer Landscaping Tips for a Lush Front Yard  

1. Mow High and Often 

Maintaining the right grass height is crucial during the hot summer months.  

• Set your mower blades to a higher setting to encourage deeper root growth. 

• Mow regularly, but avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time. 

• Leaving grass clippings can help retain moisture and provide nutrients.  

2. Water Wisely 

Proper watering keeps your lawn hydrated without wasting resources.  

• Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation. 

• Aim for deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong roots. 

• Consider installing a drip irrigation system for efficiency.  

3. Mulch for Moisture and Weed Control 

Mulching offers multiple benefits for your garden beds.  

• Retains soil moisture and regulates temperature. 

• Suppresses weed growth, reducing competition for nutrients. 

• Enhances the visual appeal of your landscape.  

4. Incorporate Drought-Resistant Plants 

Choosing the right plants ensures your garden thrives in the heat.  

• Opt for native or drought-tolerant species that require less water. 

• Group plants with similar water needs together. 

• Regularly check for pests and diseases to maintain plant health.  

5. Regular Maintenance and Clean-Up 

Keeping your yard tidy enhances its overall appearance.  

• Remove dead or diseased plants promptly. 

• Edge garden beds and walkways for a clean look. 

• Schedule seasonal clean-ups to prepare for the next season.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How often should I water my lawn during the summer?

It's best to water your lawn deeply and infrequently, about 1 inch per week, including rainfall. Early morning watering reduces evaporation and fungal growth.

What is the ideal mowing height for summer?

Keep your grass at a height of 3 to 4 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, retains moisture, and promotes deeper root growth. 

How can I prevent weeds in my lawn?

Maintain a healthy lawn through proper mowing, watering, and fertilization. Applying mulch and using pre-emergent herbicides can also help control weeds. 

Are there specific plants that thrive in summer heat?

Yes, native and drought-resistant plants like lavender, yarrow, and ornamental grasses are excellent choices for summer landscaping. 

When should I schedule a professional landscaping service?

It's advisable to schedule services in early spring or late fall for planting and clean-up. However, maintenance services can be scheduled throughout the summer. 

How does mulching benefit my garden?

Mulching conserves soil moisture, suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature, and adds nutrients as it decomposes.

What services are included in a lawn spring clean-up?

Spring clean-up typically includes removing leaves and debris, dethatching, edging garden beds, refreshing mulch, pruning, and fertilizing to prep your lawn for the growing season. Our spring clean-up services are comprehensive and tailored to your yard's needs.

Can professional landscaping increase the value of my home?

Yes, expert landscaping significantly boosts curb appeal and property value. A well-maintained front yard can increase your home’s market value by up to 15%, making it a smart investment. Our expert landscaping services are designed with both beauty and value in mind. 

What is the difference between spring and fall yard clean-up?

Spring clean-up focuses on preparing your lawn for growth—removing winter debris and nourishing the soil. Fall clean-up, on the other hand, involves leaf removal, cutting back perennials, and prepping the yard for winter. We offer both lawn spring clean-up and landscape fall clean-up services.

How do I choose the right landscaping company?

Look for companies with proven experience, a range of services, great reviews, and local knowledge. Lake State Landscape and Snow Removal offers professional, seasonal, and custom landscaping services that are reliable and budget-friendly.
