At Upper Cut Lawn Services our team prides themselves on not only delivering the best results possible but also ensuring the best in after care too. With the summer season in full swing our North Shore and Northern Beaches Garden clients often ask us what they can best do to maintain their backyards
When it comes to maintaining your plants and lawns understanding the landscape design and particular needs of your garden is important. Our team of landscape gardeners at Upper Cut Lawn services have a wide range of knowledge when it comes to knowing what will work best for your lawn particularly to suit the harsh Australian climate. If you’re ever unsure just ask any of our helpful team of garden care professionals.
When it comes to water – in the summer it sometimes feels like it’s never enough. Spending a small amount of money to install a water catchment from rooftop rainfall can help you provide a clean resource while saving some money and our environment too.Fertility and richness of soil really depends on moisture. Maintaining a garden with good soil quality can greatly benefit from mulch. Mulches can include grass, hay or even newspaper to protect your plants. The mulch can prevent the soil from UV “burn” and also attract animals such as worms and other gastropods which help to turn the soil and keep it fertile.
When it comes to a new garden – speaking to our team of landscape gardeners can greatly assist when choosing new plants. Perennials, heat resistant plants or large root system varieties can all have a sturdier chance of surviving summer. If you have the opportunity – water while it’s relatively cool outside. Aiming to water your garden in the morning can greatly increase the water’s chances of soaking in before the heat of the day causes it to evaporate. Providing a source of water for your North Shore garden in the morning helps provide the plant with water all day. Living near the northern beaches our soil composition is somewhat sandier. Sandy Soil on account of its inability to hold as much moisture will require more frequent yet shorter watering times.
Remember our team of Northern beaches garden care professionals are on hand at any time to provide you with the answers you may seek regarding your garden. From design to maintenance – give your garden the Upper Cut it deserves.
