Summer Heat Survival: How to Care for Your Landscape in the Hottest Months

Landscape care in Hottest Months

South Carolina heat is no joke — but your yard can still thrive.

July and August bring scorching temps and stress to lawns, plants, and homeowners. At Solomon’s, we design for resilience — and coach you on how to protect your investment.

Summer Landscaping Care Tips:

  • Water Deeply, Not Daily – 2–3 times/week in the early morning prevents evaporation and promotes root strength.
  • Mulch is Your Friend – A fresh 2–3″ layer keeps soil cool and locks in moisture.
  • Prune Wisely – Remove dead blooms, but avoid heavy pruning mid-summer which can shock plants.
  • Shade Matters – Consider planting trees or installing pergolas for natural cooling.

Bonus Tip:

Ask us about drip irrigation systems or drought-resistant native plants if you’re planning a new install.
