Summer Lawn and Landscape Tips for Long Term Property Health
Summer is the perfect time to give your lawn and landscaping the care they need to stay healthy and beautiful—well into fall and beyond. At Tanguay Homes, we know that well-maintained outdoor spaces not only boost curb appeal but also add long-term value to your Vermont property.
Here are a few summer landscaping tips to help your home thrive:
List of Services
-
Overseeding for a Lush LawnList Item 1
If your lawn has bare or thin patches, summer is an ideal time to overseed. Choose a hardy, cool-season grass mix suited for the Northeast Kingdom climate. Be sure to water consistently to help new grass establish before fall.
-
Smart FertilizingList Item 2
Use a slow-release fertilizer in early summer to feed your lawn and gardens. This promotes steady, healthy growth and helps plants withstand late-summer heat. Fertilizing now gives your property the strength it needs to bounce back in early fall.
-
Pruning with PurposeList Item 3
Trim shrubs, trees, and perennials in mid to late summer to promote airflow and reduce disease. Focus on removing dead or diseased limbs while shaping plants to maintain structure and encourage healthy regrowth.
-
Mulch & MoistureList Item 4
Keep soil cool and reduce evaporation with a fresh layer of mulch. This helps plants stay hydrated through Vermont’s warmest months and prevents weeds from taking over your beds.
Taking these steps now will help your landscape stay resilient into the fall—and set the stage for next spring.
