JULY MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Make sure to provide adequate water to your landscape and lawn! Use fertilome Fish Emulsion Fertilizer to help struggling trees and shrubs through the summer heat.
Spider mites worsen with more heat and dry conditions. Treat with Hi-Yield 55% Malathion or Insecticidal Soap.
Apply mulch to flower beds. Mulch not only acts as a weed barrier, but also helps cool your plants roots and helps retain moisture!
Expect some leaf fall out of trees. This can be a normal reaction to hot temperatures and drought.
Mowing heights for cool-season turf grasses should be 3 inches during hot, dry summer months. Gradually raise mowing height of bermuda grass lawns from 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
