By summer, you and your mower should be close friends. Set your mower on the highest setting so you do not cut the grass too short and expose it to drought and weeds. Dig up the weeds (this should be a weekly affair). Water the plants and deadhead flowers that are past their bloom. These steps will keep your garden looking tidy, and your neighbors content. If you hire a professional landscaper, check local ordinances, as some communities restrict the use of some equipment during summer.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”true” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” padding_left_right_link_2=”true” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ededed” custom_padding=”7%|4%|7%|4%” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”Poppins|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_line_height=”1.3em” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”25px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Make sure your foliage gets plenty of water during hot summer days. Water early in the day, but not necessarily every day. Plants prefer a good soaking a few times a week rather than a light, daily drizzle.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/groupemikasa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/gardening-water.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”150px||150px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”true” padding_left_right_link_2=”true” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||13px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/groupemikasa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/lawn-sprinkler.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”150px||150px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ededed” custom_padding=”7%|4%|7%|4%” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”Poppins|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_line_height=”1.3em” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”25px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Once spring showers end, your plants will need extra water from your sprinklers. Check your system. Hire a landscaper if you can\u2019t do it yourself:<\/p>\n

Do your best to keep it clean. Skim the surface frequently to keep leaves and debris out of the water.<\/p>\n
Scrub the sides once or twice a month to keep algae growth under control. Check the filter basket and chemical levels weekly. And keep an eye on the water level.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/groupemikasa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pool-cleanup.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”150px||150px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”true” padding_left_right_link_2=”true” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”||13px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/groupemikasa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/painting-rails-1.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”150px||150px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ededed” custom_padding=”7%|4%|7%|4%” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”Poppins|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_line_height=”1.3em” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”25px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
