tools and expertise, you can have the garden that everyone in your

Summer
heat and disease can take down a budding flower garden or healthy lawn
quickly. To avoid spending hundreds restoring your garden next year, you
can maintain it through the season. From the blooming flowers even in
the dead summer heat to that pristine, green lawn, you need to put in
some effort to get a garden of your wish.
To keep your garden and lawn looking beautiful despite the heat, follow these garden maintenance routine in your garden checklist.
1. Remove dead flowers
Keep
plants looking good by regularly dead-heading. It will support the
formation of new flowering shoots and you'll enjoy a longer display of
blooms.
2. Make sure you keep new plants well watered and hoe off weeds, which thrive in the sunshine.
3. Tidy up your garden
Clear
off leaves and normal debris from your garden. Dig of hardened
flowerbeds and borders for the water to penetrate into the roots.
4. Maintain the lawn
Cutting the lawns and trimming of edges provide strength to the grassroots.
5. Cut off strong growing hedges
It is
the right time to start cutting your hedges again as the main breeding
period of birds (from March to late July) has come to an end. Strong growing hedges should be cut several times a year to make sure that they grow densely and evenly.
6. Shape your Boxwoods
Cut back your boxwoods and other evergreens in shape to preserve their details.
7. Divide shrubs
It's
time to give your summer shrubs a rejuvenating cure by dividing them.
August is a good month for dividing spring and summer flowering shrubs.
It will help to remove the sick and withered root parts as well as bald
spots. The divided shrubs will return in full blossom if planted at
suitable locations.
8. Clearing pathways and paved area's
Regular
brushing of your patio and paved areas ensure they remain free of dirt
and dust. Harsh winter and rain can leave your patios damaged and the
joints with moss, lichen and algae.
9. Sow fresh seeds on vacated patches
In
August the gardening year is almost over. Some vegetables like Radishes,
Lettuce, Rocket, Winter Onions and Spinach can still be sown without
any problems at the now-vacated patches.
10. Do Turfing
This involves the removal of existing turf, surface preparation, re-turfing and after-care for your new turf.
