February Garden Care Guide – Keep Your Garden Healthy Before Autumn Arrives

As February brings the last stretch of summer, your garden is still growing strong — but now is the time to prepare for the cooler months ahead. Proper maintenance during this period ensures your lawn, trees, and outdoor spaces stay healthy, strong, and beautiful throughout autumn and winter.

At Bwana Benoni, we help homeowners and professionals choose the right equipment to keep their outdoor spaces in top condition.

1. Keep Your Lawn Trimmed and Healthy

Summer rain and heat cause rapid grass growth. Regular mowing is essential to maintain a neat appearance and encourage healthy root development.

Tips for February lawn care:

• Mow once a week or as needed

• Keep blades sharp for a clean cut

• Avoid cutting grass too short in extreme heat

• Use quality equipment like STIHL or Husqvarna lawnmowers for consistent results

A well-maintained lawn is more resistant to disease, weeds, and drought stress.

2. Trim Trees and Hedges Before Autumn

February is ideal for trimming hedges and shaping trees before growth slows. Proper pruning improves plant health and enhances the appearance of your garden.

Benefits of pruning now:

• Encourages stronger growth

• Removes dead or damaged branches

• Improves airflow and sunlight exposure

• Prevents overgrowth during winter

Professional hedge trimmers and pruning tools make this job easier, faster, and safer.

3. Clean and Maintain Outdoor Equipment

Regular maintenance of your equipment ensures reliability and extends lifespan.

Checklist:

• Clean equipment after each use

• Check oil levels

• Inspect blades and cutting components

• Replace worn parts

• Service equipment before heavy seasonal use

Bwana offers servicing, repairs, and genuine spare parts to keep your equipment running like new.

4. Prepare for Autumn Early

Preparing now saves time and money later. Tasks like trimming, clearing debris, and servicing tools ensure you’re ready for seasonal changes. Whether you’re a homeowner or professional landscaper, having reliable equipment makes all the difference.
