SUMMER DESIGN TIPS

When summer is approaching it's a great time to design and build that new hardscape you have been wanting. Walkways, patios, walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, steps, ponds….the list goes on. Whether you need to replace an unsightly concrete walkway or design an entire new patio area summer is a good time to do so. When completing landscape projects the hardscapes are typically the first part of the project to be installed. By designing and building your hardscapes now you will be ready for planting in the fall when the temperatures are more favorable.

Summer is also the time of year to prune your spring flowering shrubs such as Forsythia, Azalea and Viburnum to name a few. Prune now before they set buds for next spring and ensure they are in shape and looking good for next season.

Don’t forget to water! Those new plantings you installed this spring will need water throughout the summer to remain lush and beautiful. The average summer rain is not sufficient for new plantings, and you will need to water on a weekly basis.
