Maintenance Tips In June
Fertilizing needs this month:
June is the peak growing season for warm-season grasses like bermuda, zoysia, st. augustine, and centipede. This is a great time for a feeding of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer. This will encourage growth throughout the rest of the season without risk of fertilizer burn.
Pruning needs this month:
Pruning in June mostly involves growth management and spring-flowering pruning. As spring-blooming shrubs like azaleas and deutzia begin to lose their blooms, that means it is time to prune those shrubs to encourage growth for next season. Avoid pruning spring and summer-blooming trees like dogwoods, redbuds, and fruit trees during this time.
