As we move through the heart of winter, July is the perfect time to give your garden some extra care. What you do now directly affects your landscape’s success in spring. At Abloom Landscapes, we proudly support homeowners across Mosman, The North Shore, and the Northern Beaches with expert landscape maintenance and construction services all year round.
Here are our top three July garden care tips to keep your outdoor spaces thriving:
- Winter Pruning for Healthier Growth
Now is the ideal time to prune deciduous trees and shrubs while they are dormant. Strategic pruning shapes your plants and encourages strong, healthy growth when the weather warms. Whether it’s light maintenance pruning or more structural cuts, this step lays the groundwork for a lush and well-formed garden in spring.
Tip: Start with smaller branches first, then move to larger ones. This method makes pruning easier and safer.
- Stay on Top of Weeds
Even though plant growth slows in winter, weeds are still present. They continue to compete with your garden plants for nutrients and space. By removing weeds now, you protect soil health and reduce future garden maintenance.
Also, regular weeding ensures your garden beds stay tidy and your plants get the nutrients they need for strong growth in spring.
- Prepare Your Soil for Spring Planting
Winter is the perfect season to enrich your soil. Adding compost or organic matter now allows it to break down over the colder months. This improves soil structure and feeds plants at the root level.
In addition, well-prepared soil makes spring planting more successful and supports vibrant, healthy growth throughout the season.
