Now that Summer is here, it is most likely you will be spending more of your time outdoors. So, make sure your outdoor space is ready with our summer checklist for your garden:

Eradicate Weeds

What is worse than going outside and being greeted by the eyesore that are weeds? From dandelions all the way to invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, weeds are a pest to a garden as they steal minerals and nutrients from other plants nearby!

Removing most weeds can be simple – you can dig them up, pull them out by hand or even spray them with a systemic weedkiller.

A Tidy Lawn

As lawn areas typically take up most of the space in a garden, it can be considered the most important feature to be kept neat and tidy. Generally, mowing should be carried out on a weekly or at least a fortnightly basis to look at its best.

Blue Iris Landscapes acknowledge that keeping up with lawn care regularly can be a challenge. This is why we offer a treatment and mowing service so your garden can look great even when you don’t have the time for the upkeep.

Cleaning and Summer essentials

If you own garden furniture, then do not forget to give them a quick clean and dust off so it is ready to use at all times!

You cannot have summer without having at least one barbecue! Make sure to check that there is no rust or dust from the previous seasons before you make use of it.

With all this being said, summer is the season to relax and sunbathe, you might not want to be hard at work making sure your garden is in tip-top condition. If this is the case, then get in contact with us at Blue Iris Landscapes where we can fulfil all the maintenance work that you may need this summer.
