Watering Wisely

Proper watering is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn during the summer. The key is to water deeply and infrequently. Instead of shallow, daily watering, aim for one or two deep watering sessions per week. This encourages the growth of deep roots, making your grass more resilient to drought. Water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation and fungal diseases. Consider using a sprinkler system or soaker hoses for even water distribution.

Mowing Matters

Mowing is an integral part of lawn care, especially during the summer. Set your mower blade to a higher setting to leave the grass longer. Longer blades provide shade to the soil, reducing water evaporation and preventing weed growth. Additionally, ensure that your mower blades are sharp to create clean cuts and prevent damage to the grass.

Fertilize for Nourishment

Summer is a demanding time for your lawn, and it requires the plant essential nutrients to stay healthy.
