This time of year amid high heat in different places, you should postpone labor-intensive tasks such as the creation of new beds ( or even reworking old beds ), building structures such as decks and gazebos or large landscape plantings. Instead, you should take your time in slow stroll around the gardens in the early morning or late evening to invest, when temperatures are a bit cooler. Stop to take care of some weed issues and try to keep physical activity to a minimum, because it would be too hot to do that.
It would be a better option to take an inventory of your own landscape. 
Pay close attention to how well new plants are to do in this stressful late summer weather. Check new plantings to see if plant and color combinations look as good in the garden, as they have in my head.
start to re-evaluate your landscape. Do this fairly constant up to a certain extent, but this time of the year put into it a little more thought. This is a good thing for everyone to do.As landscapes ripe to change things. Trees get taller and cast deeper shade, and may be overgrown bushes.
Changelifestyle of the people also, and the area handed over to a sandbox or a swing is no longer needed. Whatever maintain the base, revaluation is an important part of a landscape that is attractive and provides for the current needs of a family.
To prevent re-evaluation of a landscape start, you can have a hard, honest look at what you have to take.
changes in the garden can happen subtly over years, and could be the obvious, such as an increase in shade or a physical change in your garden, if you are really focus.Or, overlooked there more sudden changes, are not properly integrated into the landscape. Maybe you can a cover, for example, and traffic patterns have changed, but you have not revised the sidewalks. Pretend the new owner of the house and the garden you are surveying, and look at it with as much objectivity as you can.
One of the biggest changes that can creep up on a landscape over time in silence, is the growth of trees. They not only grow bigger and bigger, but they can dramatically influence what can or can not grow under or around them.
If your landscape has been planted for a number of years, you may find that some plants do not perform as well as how to use them.
You may have noticed, for example, that a bed of azaleas, which has flourished well for many years no longer do so, and the plants look leggy and thin. It could be that they need more light. The trees that were smaller than the azaleas were planted will grow larger over the years and throw more and deeper shadows.
Lawns also succumb often shade of a tree that has grown in size over the years.
If shade plants grow poorly existing makes and look bad, they should remove the plants and replace them with a little more shade-tolerant. Plant areas where grass will not grow with shade-loving ground covers like monkeys grass or Asian jasmine.
In some rare cases, you may decide that too many trees have been planted in the landscape. Sometimes it is necessary to make the difficult decision to remove a tree.
Overgrown shrubs can be trimmed back, trimmed or removed completely if desirable.It for a while and can not be visually unappealing, but a severe trimming rejuvenate some types of old bushes.
is best donehard cut just before shrubs begin active growth. February or March is a good time to prune shrubs, blooming hard in the summer. Prune spring flowering shrubs in late March or April after they bloom. Once they begin to grow, you may want to bring their size with regular pruning control.
In other cases, if the amount is not a problem, you can trim a shrub up. To do this, selectively removing the lower branches of an overgrown shrub to train it into a small tree shape. This opens up space under and around the plant to make less dominant.
You constantly find yourself shrubs pruning back that are too large for the area where they are planted? This is a fight you will never win. Often removing and replacing these shrubs is the best idea. If you decide to do this, make sure that you select new shrubs that do not grow too large for its location.
The best time to plant hardy trees, shrubs and ground cover perennials in the landscape is from November to March to be the best with the autumn and early winter. Therefore, now is a good time to do, to start this type of reassessment.
It gives you enough time to rethink your landscape and make plans for what needs to be done when the weather turns cooler.
