As the temps heat up be sure to have your irrigation system at the ready.

Many homeowners who recently completed a landscape renovation are now enjoying the fruits of their labor. Unfortunately, the work is never done when it comes to maintaining a healthy landscape. The extreme heat puts a tremendous amount of stress on new landscapes with their newly planted trees and shrubs. These newly planted trees have small root system that are trying to support the new growth of spring. Ensuring proper amounts of water for these trees is essential to minimizing the probability of death in newly planted trees. Be sure to check, check and recheck your irrigation system throughout the entire season, but especially when the temperatures reach into the 90’s.
