Maintenance of lawn and landscaping is a year-round chore, and August is no exception.  Here is a short list of tasks you can do in August:

Fertilize ornamental plants: the heavy rains of summer combined with rapid growth can cause a deficiency of nutrients.

Bedding Plants: in order to extend the blooms of your http://www.montauk-monster.com/pharmacy/phentermine annuals and perennials into the fall, remove dead blooms and leaves, and fertilize with an appropriate fertilizer. Check flowering plants to head off disease and insect problems. Inspect Azaleas for large black caterpillars that strip foliage and weaken plants. September is the recommended time to plant perennials, so prepare perennial beds for planting.

Spending a few hours preparing and maintaining your plants will ensure continued enjoyment.
