🌿 5 Essential Garden Maintenance Tips for Summer in South East Queensland

When Queensland’s summer heat hits, lawns dry out fast, weeds grow overnight, and gardens can quickly lose their shape.

At T-Squared Services, we help homeowners, tenants, and property managers keep their outdoor spaces in top condition all year.

Here are five expert garden maintenance tips from our team to help your garden thrive through the hottest months.

🌱 1. Mow Smart, Not Short

Many people cut their lawns too short in summer — this weakens grass and exposes roots to the sun. Keep your mower blades a little higher and mow more often, especially in high-traffic areas. This simple change encourages deeper roots and protects against dry patches.

Tip: For professional results, book a regular lawn mowing service in South East Queensland — consistent care makes all the difference.

💧 2. Water Deeply and Early

In our hot climate, timing matters.

Water your lawn before 8 a.m. to reduce evaporation and disease risk.

A deep soak two to three times a week trains roots to grow deeper, creating a drought-resistant lawn.

If you don’t have time, our garden maintenance team can set up a watering

schedule that suits your property.

🌿 3. Hedge and Prune Before the Peak Heat

Summer hedging keeps gardens tidy and encourages new growth.

Trim hedges and remove dead branches early in the season to prevent pest issues and promote airflow.

T-Squared Services provides professional hedging and pruning for residential and rental properties throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Logan, and Ipswich.

🧤 4. Stay on Top of Weeds

Weeds compete for water and nutrients, especially in sandy Queensland soils.

Tackle them while they’re small — ten minutes a week can save hours later.

For larger jobs, book a garden clean-up service to remove weeds, debris, and overgrowth fast.

🪴 5. Use Mulch to Lock in Moisture

A 5 cm layer of organic mulch can reduce water loss by up to 70 %.

It also cools roots, adds nutrients, and improves soil structure.

We recommend sugarcane mulch or wood chips — both suit Queensland’s coastal climate.
