Summer is just around the corner, and that means longer days, warmer nights, and more time spent outdoors. Whether you’re planning backyard barbecues, quiet evenings under the stars, or simply want a lush lawn to admire, now is the perfect time to prepare your outdoor space. At Shergill Design, we’re here to help you make sure your landscape is summer-ready — beautiful, functional, and built to enjoy all season long.
Here’s how to get your yard in shape before summer hits full swing.
1. Clean Up & Refresh the Yard
Start by clearing out what spring left behind:
Remove dead leaves, weeds, and old mulch
Trim back overgrown shrubs and tidy up flower beds
Mow and edge your lawn to give it a crisp, clean look
A clean landscape instantly boosts curb appeal and sets the stage for summer planting and decorating.
2. Boost Your Lawn’s Health
Hot weather can be tough on grass, so early care is key:
Aerate your lawn to allow water and nutrients to reach the roots
Apply a slow-release fertilizer to support growth through the heat
Adjust your watering schedule for deeper, less frequent irrigation
A lush, green lawn is one of summer’s greatest pleasures — and it starts with spring prep.
3. Plant Heat-Loving Flowers & Shrubs
This is the time to plant bold, colorful flowers and summer-loving greenery:
Go for sun-loving annuals like marigolds, salvia, and lantana
Choose drought-tolerant shrubs that thrive in heat, like lavender or rosemary
Add container plants for pops of color on patios and porches
Shergill Design can help you pick plants that thrive in your local climate and match your yard’s vibe.
4. Update Outdoor Living Spaces
Summer means spending more time outside — make sure your space is ready:
Pressure wash patios, walkways, and fences
Add or refresh seating areas with outdoor furniture and cushions
Install shade features like pergolas or umbrellas
Want a backyard transformation? We offer hardscaping services that can turn your yard into an oasis.
5. Install or Fine-Tune Irrigation Systems
Efficient watering keeps your landscape thriving without wasting water:
Check for leaks and clogs in existing sprinkler or drip systems
Adjust settings for seasonal watering needs
Install timers or smart irrigation for hands-free control
We specialize in professional sprinkler installation and system upgrades.
6. Light Up Your Evenings
Enjoy your landscape even after the sun sets:
Add solar path lights or string lights for ambiance
Install landscape lighting to highlight trees, walkways, and garden beds
Use motion-sensor lights for safety and convenience
Lighting adds both beauty and functionality to summer nights in the yard.
Summer is almost here, and your outdoor space deserves to be at its best. With the right preparation now, you can enjoy a beautiful, comfortable, and low-maintenance landscape all season long. At Shergill Design, we’re passionate about helping our clients create yards that look great and feel even better.
