By June, regular watering is crucial.

  • Check for broken or clogged sprinkler heads

  • Adjust timers to water early in the morning

  • Ensure garden beds and lawn zones are getting even coverage

 Pro Tip: Too much water can lead to fungal disease. Let soil dry slightly between waterings.

 2. Deadhead Spent Flowers

Keep your annuals and perennials blooming by removing faded flowers.

  • Pinch or snip off spent blooms weekly

  • Focus on plants like petunias, geraniums, and coneflowers

  • Clean cuts encourage more growth and fuller displays

 3. Weed Weekly

Warmer weather means fast-growing weeds.

  • Hand-pull or hoe young weeds before they seed

  • Apply mulch to garden beds to suppress future growth

  • Spot-treat tough areas with eco-friendly weed control products

🌾 Garden-scapes can refresh your mulch or help with weed management if it’s gotten out of control.

 4. Feed Your Plants

Now’s the time to support healthy growth.

  • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to flower beds

  • Feed container plants every 10–14 days with liquid fertilizer

  • Boost veggies and herbs with compost or fish emulsion

 5. Prune Shrubs and Shape Hedges

June is ideal for trimming spring-flowering shrubs after they bloom.

  • Lightly shape hedges for clean lines

  • Remove dead or crossing branches

  • Avoid heavy pruning in the heat of summer

 6. Watch for Pests and Disease

Inspect plants weekly for:

  • Chewed leaves

  • Discoloration or spots

  • Aphids, beetles, or powdery mildew

🌿 At the first sign of trouble, Garden-scapes can help with safe and effective treatment options.

 7. Clean Up Your Edges

Give your landscape a crisp, tidy look.

  • Edge garden beds and pathways

  • Refresh gravel or mulch in borders

  • Re-define curves or straight lines in lawn edges

 8. Plan for Summer Heat

Wisconsin summers can be unpredictable.

  • Add shade-loving plants where needed

  • Install soaker hoses for deep, efficient watering

  • Consider a late-June mulch top-off to lock in moisture
