Keep Your Grass, Turf & Outdoor Spaces Ready for the Heat
Summers in Surprise, AZ can be intense—bringing extreme heat, invasive weeds, turf melt, and pest problems. The key to maintaining a clean, safe, and great-looking yard is early preparation. Here’s a complete DIY guide to help you get ready—and how SDEproSERVICES can step in if you’d rather leave it to the pros.
🌿 Natural Grass & Yard Maintenance
1. Weed Control
Apply a pre-emergent herbicide in late spring to block weeds before they sprout. Spot-treat or pull any visible weeds early to avoid spreading, especially along edges and paver joints.
2. Lawn Health & Watering
Inspect your irrigation system for leaks or clogged emitters. Water deeply but infrequently in the early morning to promote strong roots and minimize evaporation.
3. Mulching & Beds
Add mulch around trees and plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperatures through the hottest months.
4. Pest & Rodent Prevention
Use natural deterrents like peppermint oil or install ultrasonic devices to repel rodents and birds from patios, planter beds, and shaded areas.
5. Tree & Shrub Maintenance
Trim dead or overgrown branches to reduce fire risk, improve air circulation, and discourage pests from nesting.
🪨 Concrete, Paver & Patio Care
1. Surface Cleaning
Sweep patios and walkways regularly to remove debris that can attract pests or trap moisture. A seasonal pressure wash can also revive their appearance.
2. Crack & Weed Prevention
Apply joint sand or sealant to paver joints to block weeds and protect from cracking caused by sun exposure or shifting ground.
🌱 Synthetic Grass Summer Prep
1. General Cleaning
Rake or sweep away leaves, debris, and pet waste. Hose down the turf to remove dust and odors.
2. Brush & Fluff
High traffic and heat can flatten artificial grass. Use a stiff broom or power broom to brush fibers upright and keep the turf looking lush.
3. Infill Top-Off
Replenish infill in high-use areas to maintain cushion, drainage, and help control surface temperature.
4. Prevent Turf Burn from Window Reflection
Reflected sunlight from south- or west-facing windows can cause synthetic turf to melt or discolor. Install solar screens or window films to reduce glare and protect your turf investment—while also cooling your indoor spaces.
