Late Summer & Early Autumn Garden Care
Late summer is a time for keeping gardens looking their best while also starting to prepare for the change of season. After periods of strong growth and dry weather, regular maintenance now can make a big difference to how a garden carries through into autumn.
- Lawns: Keep mowing as growth allows, raising the cutting height during dry periods and tidying edges.
- Borders: Deadhead flowering plants, remove tired growth and keep weeds under control.
- Hedges: Late summer is a useful time for trimming many established hedges and keeping growth in shape.
- Planting: Start planning autumn planting and look for gaps that could benefit from shrubs, perennials or bulbs.
- Watering: Continue to watch pots, new planting and exposed coastal gardens during warm or windy weather.
- Autumn preparation: Begin thinking about pruning, planting and general tidy-up work for the months ahead.
A little attention now helps extend the garden through late summer and puts it in a much better position as autumn approaches.
