Domestic Gardens – June Jobs
Key Garden Maintenance tasks to focus on this month:
» June can bring dry conditions; this makes consistent and regular watering essential. Early morning or evening watering helps plants absorb moisture more effectively
» Keeping lawns healthy and green: A well-maintained lawn instantly improves the appearance of any garden and creates the perfect space for relaxing outdoors. Warm temperatures and increased sunlight will mean lawns grow rapidly throughout June. Regular mowing is essential, but avoid cutting the grass too short during hot spells as this can stress the lawn and cause yellowing.
» Weeds thrive in June’s warm weather and can quickly take over if left unchecked. Mulching around plants is an excellent way to suppress weed growth whilst also helping soil retain moisture during warmer days.
» Deadheading spent flowers encourages plants to produce more blooms throughout the summer. June is also a good time to lightly prune spring-flowering shrubs once flowering has finished.
» Hedges grow quickly in June and benefit from trimming to keep them tidy and controlled. A professional hedge cut can dramatically improve the appearance of your entire garden (be mindful of nesting birds before trimming hedges – wildlife protection laws may apply)
» Common June hedge tasks include Box Hedge Shaping, Laurel Reduction, Privet Trimming and Pyracantha Training
» Summer is the season for enjoying outdoor living spaces. Pressure washing patios, cleaning decking, and tidying garden paths can instantly refresh your garden.
» Adding potted plants, fresh bark or woodchip, or seasonal flowers can create a welcoming outdoor environment for entertaining guests. Popular summer bedding plants include Begonias, Geraniums, Petunias, Marigolds and Salvia
» Check fences, sheds and garden structures and make repairs where necessary. June is a perfect time for repainting these structures
» Gutter clearing to ensure water is free flowing and clear of debris
Keeping a garden looking its best during summer can be time consuming. Professional garden maintenance services ensure lawns, hedges, flower beds and borders and outdoor spaces stay healthy, tidy and enjoyable.
Commercial Grounds – June Priorities
Your outdoor areas are often the first thing people see when arriving at your property. A clean and well-maintained landscape reflects positively on your business.
June maintenance typically includes:
» Lawn Management: Increase mowing frequency – most commercial lawns need cutting at least weekly during peak growth.
» Path Edges: Edge pathways, kerbs, beds and entrances regularly for a professional appearance
» Lawn Feed: Apply a summer fertiliser to help support healthy lawn development
» Weed Control: Spot treat weeds such as dandelions and clover and treat them early before they spread
» Shrub & Hedge Maintenance: Trim and shape hedges and shrubs, remove dead, diseased or damaged growth and tie in climbing plants where required.
» Flowerbeds & Seasonal Displays: Deadheading bedding plants regularly to extend flowing, water hanging baskets frequently, feed seasonal displays with a liquid fertiliser and stake taller perennials before wind damage occurs
» Irrigation & Watering: Adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, water newly planted trees and shrubs deeply and prioritise high visibility entrance areas during dry periods.
» Hard Surfaces Maintenance: Pressure washing hard surfaces such as paths, patios, car parks and entranceways to remove moss, algae and dirt build which improves aesthetics for staff and visitors
» Presentation Priorities: Clearance and site tidying. A well-kept landscape enhances customer experiences, reinforces brand image and creates a welcoming environment for visitors, tenants and staff.
June is usually one of the busiest months for commercial grounds maintenance. Growth rate accelerates; irrigation demands increase and presentation standards are more noticeable for staff and visitors
