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.
