Great Ways To Prepare Your Garden For Summer

As hotter days become more frequent and the cold bite of winter fades into distant memory, there is only one thing on our minds. Is the garden summer-ready? We all love those bright afternoons and long evenings outside, surrounded by nature and good company. However, it is every proud host’s nightmare to invite friends or family over, only to remember the garden is a state.

Fear not, dealing with your outdoor area shouldn’t be an overwhelming task, and with a few steps, it can be ready in no time.

Here at Gaia Environmental, we’ve put together 5 sure ways to get your garden spruced up for summer.



Lawn Maintenance

First on the list is lawn maintenance. Perhaps the most obvious of the steps but an important one nonetheless. As the days get longer and the weather improves, keeping your grass healthy and well kept is key to a great looking garden.

During hotter spells, be sure to water your grass as well to avoid it becoming dehydrated as this will lead to discolouration and a pale, tired-looking garden. Additionally, it is advisable to trim your lawn no more than a centimetre or so as if the grass is cut too short, it becomes less healthy and less visually pleasing.

Weed Eradication

Tying in with the importance of a beautifully kept lawn is the removal of weeds and unwanted growth. Some weeds, such as ground elder or couch grass are easy to deal with if you catch them early. However, many tougher weeds such as Japanese knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Himalayan Balsam, require the knowledge and experience of a specialist weed removal company.

Comfort Is Key

In any garden space, it is important to feel comfortable when spending time outdoors. Trimming your lawn and taking care of invasive plant removal is a great start, but why not add some furniture or decoration to the garden? Perhaps you could plant some flowers to add some life and colour? You’ve worked hard to make your garden a place that can be enjoyed by friends and family alike, so it’s important to make it a space of comfort and relaxation.

Buy A Barbeque

Of course, no talk of summer preparations is complete without the mention of our fiery friends; buying a barbeque is a great investment. With your weeds removed and your garden looking luscious, it's a shame not to take advantage of the setting. Cook some great food and enjoy your beautifully kept garden.
