For many homeowners, summer means spending a good majority of time in their yard.  However, in order to prepare for some lounging and barbecuing, you need to make sure your backyard is ready for the season ahead! By doing these tips now, you can sit back and relax later. Here’s the work you need to put in so you can enjoy your summer in peace: 

Keep Grass Fresh

You probably have already broken out your lawn mower and gardening tools, but it’s important to inspect them regularly to make sure they last all season long. For your summer routine, cut your grass at least once a week and water your lawn every day or every other day, depending on how hot it gets outside.

Control Pests

From moles to mice, you don’t want your yard being ruined by any unwanted furry fiends. You can prevent them from making a home in your backyard through animal friendly ways, such as applying castor oil to any areas you notice tunneling in. The animals don’t like the smell! If you find the issue is greater than you expected, contact your local pest control. 

Invest In Automatic Irrigation

To save you time, you can invest in automatic irrigation for your yard. This will maintain that fresh, green look for your grass and keep your flowers growing properly! It’s an upgrade that is sure to make your life so much easier, especially during the warmer months of summer. Bonus: it’s a great way to prevent water waste, too.
