Commercial Landscaping: Learn About the Threats to Your Landscape During Summer | Dallas Landscaping Services Company

As a commercial property owner, you want your landscape to be stable, healthy, and have a welcoming, aesthetically pleasing appearance throughout the seasons. Unfortunately, the hot summer temperatures bring unwanted threats to commercial landscapes. 

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest threats in commercial landscapes this summer, and how your Dallas landscaping company can help reduce and eradicate these threats. 

Insects

Pests and bugs are hard to spot, but nevertheless is dangerous to landscapes. Spider mites, scale, cinch bugs, fire ants, whiteflies, aphids, and grubs can quickly spread and cause considerable damage to the lawn and its plants. A serious infestation can destroy an otherwise healthy, thriving lawn. Early prevention can help prevent, contain, and eradicate these threats. 

Weeds

Weeds pose a very serious threat to any commercial property. They can quickly overtake the landscape and rob trees, grass, and plants of nutrients, water, and air. For instance, when you apply fertilizer, the weeds are the fastest to soak the nutrients that would otherwise feed your lawn and promote its growth. Invasive weed growth is not only unattractive but can exponentially increase the need for more landscape maintenance work. Professional weed control can help the reemergence and spread of weeds on commercial properties.

Drought

Keeping your commercial landscape adequately watered during the hot summer months can be challenging. Your landscape can suffer if you do not have an effective irrigation system in place.
