🌿 May 25th – Late Spring Landscaping: Setting Up for Summer Success

Hi again, Brinx here.
The sun’s out more, the grass is growing fast, and I can officially confirm: summer is on the way.

Late May is your final window to prepare your yard before peak heat hits.

☀️ What to Focus on Right Now:

1. Mulching

  • Retains moisture

  • Regulates soil temperature

  • Reduces weed growth

2. Plant Health Check
Replace struggling plants before summer stress makes recovery harder.

3. Lawn Maintenance

  • Mow at proper height (don’t cut too short)

  • Continue fertilization as needed

4. Outdoor Living Prep

  • Clean and inspect patios

  • Test fire pits, lighting, and water features

🌼 Kansas Weather Insight:

Temperatures will continue rising, and rainfall becomes less predictable heading into June—making preparation now essential.

🌱 Pro Tip:

Healthy soil and proper prep now = less maintenance and fewer problems later.

Why it matters:
Everything you do in late May directly impacts how enjoyable—and manageable—your yard is during the hottest months.

I’ll be securing my favorite shady spots early this year.
