Executive Green / Landscape care

For commercial grounds and substantial residential landscapes, early-summer turf planning should account for grass type, site use, irrigation and local conditions. Define the maintained areas and seasonal responsibilities so lawn care supports the wider property program.

Care note: Match fertilizer, aeration, pruning and watering to the plants, turf species and actual site conditions. Seasonal timing varies. See our current landscape-care planning guide before choosing a schedule.

01 / Landscape care

Adjust Your Mowing Practices

For a managed property, define mowing practices by turf species, variety, conditions and use. Bermuda, Zoysia and Fescue do not all share one ideal cutting height. Include appropriate mowing and seasonal review requirements in the property-wide grounds scope.

02 / Landscape care

Water Deeply and Consistently

Atlanta’s hot and humid climate means your lawn needs adequate water to stay healthy. Water your lawn deeply and infrequently, aiming for about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall. Early morning watering is best to minimize evaporation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Fertilize Warm-Season Grasses

June is an ideal time to fertilize warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm your lawn.

04 / Landscape care

Control Weeds and Pests

Weeds and pests can be particularly problematic in June. Continue to monitor your lawn for invasive species and treat them promptly. Apply post-emergent herbicides for broadleaf weeds and consult with a lawn care professional to address any pest infestations effectively.

05 / Landscape care

Aerate Your Lawn

If you didn’t aerate your lawn in the spring, June is another good opportunity. Aeration helps alleviate soil compaction, improving air and water flow to the roots. This process promotes a healthier, more resilient lawn that can withstand the summer heat.

06 / Landscape care

Inspect and Maintain Irrigation Systems

With the increasing reliance on irrigation during June, ensure your system is working efficiently. Check for leaks, clogged nozzles, and broken sprinklers. Proper maintenance of your irrigation system ensures your lawn receives even and adequate water coverage.

07 / Landscape care

Mulch and Protect Flower Beds

Keep your garden beds looking their best by adding a layer of mulch. Mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. It also adds a finished look to your landscaping and provides a barrier against the summer heat.
