February is the peak of the growing season, but the heat can be brutal on your backyard. To keep your outdoor space as a vibrant haven, you need a smart approach to garden maintenance. Here are five tips from the experts at Green Acres NZ to keep your yard looking sharp.
The "One-Third" Mowing Rule:
Never cut more than one-third of the grass height at once. Keeping your lawn slightly longer shades the soil and prevents it from turning brown. If you're busy, booking a regular lawn mowing service ensures your grass stays healthy and thick.
Early Bird Watering:
The best time for gardening chores is early morning. Watering early allows moisture to soak deep into the roots before the afternoon sun evaporates it, preventing leaf burn and fungus.
Stay on Top of Weeding:
Weeds compete with your plants for precious summer water. Regular weeding prevents them from going to seed and taking over your beds.
Mulch for Moisture:
Apply a thick layer of organic mulch to your garden beds. This acts like a blanket, keeping the soil cool and reducing the need for constant watering—a must-have for low-maintenance gardening services.
Trim for a Second Bloom:
Deadhead your spent summer flowers (like roses and lavender). This encourages the plant to produce one last burst of colour before autumn sets in.
If you need a hand with any of these tasks, our skilled team is ready to enhance your outdoor oasis, making every moment of summer truly memorable.
