4 Ways to Help Protect Your Landscape This Summer

 
 
 

As you may have noticed, we are currently experiencing unusually high temperatures in the Bay Area. This extreme heat can have a significant impact on your landscape, particularly on your plants. Throughout these conditions, it's normal for plants to show signs of leaf damage, sunburn, and dehydration. As alarming as these symptoms can seem, with proper care, many plants can recover once the heat subsides. The GPL Team is here to help you with some tips and tricks. Let’s get started!

 
 
 

plant care tips for excessive heat conditions

  1. Watering: Your plants will require more water than usual. Early morning or late evening watering is best to reduce evaporation and ensure that the water reaches the roots.

  2. Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch can help retain moisture and keep the soil cooler.

  3. Shade: If possible, provide temporary shade for delicate plants using shade cloths or similar materials.

  4. Monitor: Keep a close eye on your plants for signs of stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, and adjust your care routine as needed.
