Here are ten tips on how you can keep your lot in top shape this summer:  

  

Lawn Care 

Regular mowing, edging along sidewalks and driveways, and trimming around trees and flower beds are essential. Consider fertilizing and watering as needed to keep the lawn healthy. A well-kept lawn not only looks great but also adds to the community's overall appeal. 

  

Gardening and Landscaping 

Plant colorful flowers and shrubs that thrive in the summer heat. Use mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds. A touch of greenery and vibrant blooms can significantly enhance the beauty of your lot.

Weed Control 

Pull weeds regularly or use a weed killer to maintain a tidy appearance around your home and electrical pedestal. Keeping weeds at bay ensures your garden and lawn look neat and well cared for. 

  

Pathways and Driveways 

Keep pathways and driveways clear of grass and debris. Notify the community office of any repairs, cracks, or uneven surfaces needing attention. Safe and clean pathways contribute to the safety and aesthetics of our community. 

  

Outdoor Furniture Maintenance 

Clean and maintain outdoor furniture, ensuring it's in good condition for use. Well-maintained furniture provides a comfortable space to relax and enjoy the summer weather. 

  

Lighting 

Install outdoor lighting along pathways and around landscaping features to enhance visibility and ambiance during evening hours. Good lighting improves safety and adds a charming touch to your outdoor space. 

  

Pest Control 

Keep an eye out for pests that may damage your home and plants or create unsightly conditions. Use appropriate measures to control them. Effective pest management helps maintain the health and beauty of your garden. 

  

Trash and Recycling 

Ensure trash and recycling bins are neatly stored out of sight and regularly emptied. Proper waste management keeps our community clean and pleasant for everyone. 

  

Steps and Decks 

Ensure that all boards on steps, decks, and handrails are safely attached. Power wash and stain these areas to ensure longevity. Well-maintained steps and decks provide safe and attractive spaces for outdoor activities. 

  

Outdoor Decor 

Add decorative elements like bird feeders or garden art to personalize your outdoor space. A few unique touches can make your lot feel more inviting and reflect your personality. 

Regular upkeep and attention to detail will help you enjoy a well-maintained and inviting lot throughout the summer. Let’s all contribute to making our communities at Roots Management Group a beautiful place to live. 

  

Enjoy Your Summer!
