Key Garden Maintenance tasks to focus on this month:
» Regular lawn mowing, edging and strimming keeps lawns neat and well maintained. Mow weekly or as needed, raise the cutting height during hot, dry weather. Edging lawns helps to keep borders neat.
» Thoroughly weeding borders, beds and paved areas prevents weeds competing with your plants, try and weed before the weeds set seed.
» Deadheading roses, bedding plants and perennials encourages continuous flowering.
» Stake tall perennials such as Delphiniums and Dahlias
» Pruning and shaping shrubs and climbers where appropriate, include tying in new growth. Prune Wisteria’s long whippy shoots back to around five or six leaves
» Hedge trimming to maintain a smart appearance while taking care to avoid disturbing nesting birds. Trimming evergreen hedges on a cloudy day to try and avoid scorch. Formal hedges to trim include Yew, Beech, Privet and Box
» Feeding containers, hanging baskets and flowering plants with a high-potash fertiliser to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms
» Watering newly planted shrubs, containers and other priority plants during prolonged dry weather. When watering aim for a deep soak rather than frequent light watering
» Sweeping patios, paths and driveways, removing fallen leaves and debris leaves your garden clean and presentable
» Pressure washing patios, cleaning decking, and tidying garden paths can instantly refresh your garden. Summer is the season for enjoying outdoor living spaces.
» 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
Regular visits throughout July help to maintain the appearance of your garden, encourages strong healthy growth, and ensures your outdoor space remains enjoyable all summer long.

» Pruning of shrubs and removal of damaged growth to encourage healthy development
» Deadheading seasonal bedding displays to prolong flowering and maintain a visual impact
» Watering trees, shrubs and seasonal displays during dry periods
» Monitoring for pests, diseases and signs of plant stress
» Sweeping of paths and hard surfaces including entrances and communal spaces to clear leaves and debris reduces hazards and improves appearances
» Inspection of trees, particularly low branches and damaged limbs
» 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
» Clearance and site tidying; A well-kept landscape enhances customer experiences, reinforces brand image and creates a welcoming environment for visitors, tenants and staff.
