Hire Your Landscaper Now for Summer Water Management
Counterintuitively, the best time to hire a landscaper isn’t when your lawn is parched and brown. July’s scorching heat can exacerbate drainage issues and increase water runoff.
By scheduling an initial consultation in late June or early July, you can assess your property's irrigation needs before the peak of summer. A skilled landscaper will evaluate areas prone to pooling or erosion and recommend a customized plan that minimizes waste and promotes healthy growth. This proactive approach ensures your landscape remains vibrant during the hottest months.
Ask about their recommendations for efficient sprinkler systems, rainwater harvesting solutions, and native plant selections that require less water. Avoid contractors who only emphasize expensive upgrades without addressing the root causes of poor drainage or overwatering.
